   Love this stuff! I’ve been using it on and off for several months. I love the glass bottle and how it dries so nicely and quickly after application with no stickiness at all. I shake it onto my hands and spread it all over my face, neck and chest. I even spread it over my arms and it looks nice there too. It is quite subtle on the arms. I have combination/oily skin that’s prone to breakouts and this is the only self-tanner that doesn’t make my skin feel not so great or break out. It doesn’t come off on my pillow either. I would definitely buy it again, although the bottle seems to be lasting forever!

   OMG ~ WOW ~ WOW ~ WOW !!!!! I normally don’t leave reviews after only 1-use, but this has blown me completely away !!! Always searching for the best self-tanner with ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS for my extremely oily, acne-prone, middle-aged facial skin. I’ve had good success with Famous Dave’s products, but I recently discovered this brand and tried the Face Tan Water and all I can say is WOW after only 1-use !!! I followed the instructions and demo videos explicitly, however, I can already tell that I will be able to use after my regular exfoliation routine AND follow it with a moisturizer (even though that is discouraged). After only one night of washing with all natural face wash from Primal Earth and applying to dry skin with a cotton pad, I woke up this morning with smooth, balanced, CLEAN skin with a gorgeous, natural golden glow like I had been reading a book on the porch in the winter sunshine the day before. It is absolutely AMAZING and only one application gave a very definite darker glow on my winter-pale skin !!! The other amazing thing is that there was/is absolutely ZERO SMELL !!! None of that usual “self tanner” smell when I applied it and absolutely no “developer” smell through the night or in the morning – ZERO !!! Even Famous Dave’s has that off-putting smell as it develops. It actually smells so wonderful when applying it from the natural essential oils in the ingredients. I was careful to apply to my neck (front, sides, and back) and just below to avoid any tan lines. The difference is so noticeable that my hands/arms are definitely whiter than my face, so I’ll have to make sure that I balance that out too. I’ve read where others have applied it to their arms, which sounds easy enough because it is literally just like WATER !! I’ve read where others had yellow streaks on the top of their hands from applying it with their hands (see the various demonstration videos on YouTube and websites) from where the “water” dripped through their fingers during application and they didn’t wash the tops of their hands after application. So I applied mine with a medical glove and a cotton pad to avoid that problem. However, I’d probably recommend using the mitt for application to the arms, chest, and hands for a more even glow. I honestly don’t believe that I would need to apply this the recommended 2-3x weekly as the glow is so deep already (for the middle of winter). And I exfoliated this morning with my usual scrub and followed with my usual treatments and moisturizers with BEAUTIFUL results !!! The glow looks SO healthy and natural that I am just absolutely blown away !!! I’ll be so anxious to experiment with it going forward. I want to try application AFTER exfoliation and also application mixed with my usual moisturizer to see how that works. I also LOVE that it is a GLASS, amber bottle and not plastic. Plus, it has a very good amount that will last me FOREVER because it takes so little and made such an immediate difference after only one application. I can’t stop singing the praises !!! My face looked so radiant and healthy and AWAKE this morning after my usual cleansing, moisturizing, eye-treatment routine, that I kept looking at my face in the car mirror! It looked like I had just run down to Florida for a quick winter blitz trip and spent a bit of time in the sun without looking “baked.” I hope that more people discover this amazing little treasure because I’m SO HAPPY to finally find something that it literally like WATER, instead of a thick or oily-feeling lotion or cream that breaks out my oily face, that actually CLEANS and TONES my skin and makes it look and feel so healthy and beautiful !!! My new holy grail for sure !!!!!!! Thank you Eco Tan !!!!!
   **UPDATE**
   Ok, so I’ve been using this product in several different ways and am still absolutely IN-LOVE !!! I found that I CAN use it immediately after my daily exfoliating scrub with the same good results. I can also moisturize immediately afterward as well, with no problem. I did notice a problem that my winter-white arms and hands were lighter than my face-neck area, so I splashed some into each hand and thoroughly applied to both lower arms and tops of hands with VERY nice, very NATURAL results that almost matched the tone of my face. I washed the palms of my hands thoroughly after the application with no yellow staining or streaking on them. I’m AMAZED at how natural the tan looks on my arms – like I was just walking the dog in the winter sun with my sleeves rolled up. It doesn’t look fake, orangy, or TOO brown-bronze for this time of year. Overall, I’m EXTREMELY pleased so far. I’ve applied it at night and in the morning with great and very natural results both times. I’m just happy that I can get my arms to look even as well for this time of the year with a color that matches my face-neck, so it doesn’t look so weird. And it’s SO EASY and CLEAN to apply – literally like WATER !!!
   I’ll keep coming back with more updates as I discover more tricks !!
