"So this product is pretty good, the smell is a little off— especially if you tend to like more traditional smells but overall I think it must work decently well because when I used it for the smallest increments of time, I do see a difference."
"I used this at the beach it was late afternoon and I ended up several shades darker in just one day."
"It smells awful though."
"I absolutely love this browning lotion I usually buy tanning oil from Walmart but not no more I used this for the first time and it is out of this world it gave me a good tan and it smells awesome I recommended Maui babe browning lotion to everyone I know ."
"It smells amazing and really does give you the best long lasting dark tan."
"I just ordered a new bottle....this product works well."
"It colors your skin only as long as you wear it, You literally fry in the stuff (indoor and out). it does wash off easily."

"Went on smooth. Pleasant orange creamcicle smell. Helped deepen my tone so I could us a more intense lotion."
"A little bit goes a long way; I like using this product when I tan."
"Haven't had any issues burning, but I also don't think it's helped darken my tan either."
"Works very well."
"Smells very nice."

Here's the deal on tattoos and tanning: You shouldn't expose your tats to any sun source if you want to maintain their vibrancy and longevity. Here's my solution: I use an spf 70 (the Neutrogena "deodorant" stick kind) on my ink...yes even on my entire back piece."
"I made sure to use it a least a week before writing a fair review."
"Very silky and smooth."
"It has a browning bronzer that lightly tans you right away, and lasts for a few days."
"I like the fragrance of this lotion, it is sort of a light sweet vanilla scent."
"DOWNSIDE: When I received the product it had some of the lotion (which is a tan color) dried around the top of the bottle opening. Overall I recommend it, its definitely cheaper on here than stuff you get at a tanning salon that probably wont work as well."
"After that started fading in the past 3 weeks with fall starting, i thought id get back to fake baking to maintain a fall/winter tan. Great color results, Natural looking tan, not oompa-loompa."
"I have no problems with the price or prompt shipping of this product but am very disapointed in the tanning lotion."

The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. UPDATE: September 27, 2012. After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on Amazon or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly."
"One of the best tips I can suggest is lightly rubbing lotion on areas where you may have dry skin (elbows, knees and wrists/knuckles) before applying. I use circular motions and just lightly buff the tanner onto my skin. If you're experiencing problems it's most likely user error and it will just require a little more practice but once you get the hang of it, it is a cinch!!!!!"
"I have been using different tanning products for years, everything from L'Oreal Sublime Bronze (which I was vaguely favorable to), MysticTan, VersaSpa (good in a crunch, but not at the eleventh hour), and Jergens Natural Glow. Especially in the traditional places where the lotions sink in too much and create the ever lovely bread-crust effect on the edges of the palms, between the fingers, nail beds, and don't even get me started on the feet! hahaha No really though... Glynis is dead on when she recommends that you trim the tube, I measured it by sight looking at how much would need to come off just to screw the cap down tightly. Don't risk having too much on your hands because this is a fast drying product (and trust me, that's a good thing!!). I tend to get a bit antsy and go too fast over my thighs, but that's how you can miss a spot... luckily, touch-ups are not hard with this formula! Because you don't want to wash off all the tanning lotion that you put on your hands, and then try and clean the glove. I thought buying a second product sucked but I was not exceptionally in to the whole idea of lines or splotches. The balm is like a wax, and you apply it after the tanner to blend the color, or before it to block it completely."

Basically I use the mask as an exfoliator, which clears up my acne, reduces redness, and brightens my skin, then I use this TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back!"
"I emailed EltaMD regarding the validity of the product, here is their response as of yesterday, 9/22/15. I give it 3 stars because of my skepticism, but I love the product I have received, assuming it's legitimate."
"Delivery: I gave this product three stars because some of the contents of the bottle were inside of the cap. Product: Now let's talk about the fun part: Elta MD's clear sunscreen with niacinamide! When it's time to reapply I first press drops of grapeseed oil on dry patches on my skin and let that sink in."
"Unfortunately, this product was a bit drying and did not provide any moisture; it worked best with a moisturizer applied first - then applying this cream."
"I've been using this sunscreen for 2 years and up until this purchase has had good experiences with Amazon sellers."
"I was very disappointed to find out the Elta MD skincare product I had purchased was fake according to my dermatologist."
"This is 2nd time that the pump does not work."
