PROMISING REVIEW
"These tanning and illuminating drops are perfect for those of us that just can’t seem to get it right when applying self tanning products at home. No matter what I always end up with a streak here and there and no matter how much I exfoliate, my knees, elbows and ankles wind up darker than the rest of my body. Not with these drops though. I put between 4-8 drops in my moisturizer and a subtle, glowy tan develops the rest of the day. There is no awful smell, you can customize the color to as dark or as light as you want, and the illuminating effect makes your skin look SO healthy!"

It’s the best! The mousse is my favorite!!!”
