Best Self Tanning Lotion

5

This is the best Self tanning lotion i have found. I use it on my legs and it gives you an instant bronze color, after a couple hours it turns out to be a beautiful sun kissed, just came from the beach kinda look. Like all self Tanner's you have to be very careful when applying on the knees and ankles. Try this product, you will not be disappointed.

L'Oreal sublime bronze luminous bronzer self tanning lotion

5

Last summer my friend had this beautiful tanned skin and when I asked her what product she used or how she got her tan, she told me she used the L'Oreal sublime bronze luminous bronzer self tanning lotion and I just knew there and then that I have to get the lotion. I have used it for a while and it is so mild and gentle on the skin. I do not have a sensitive skin but I believe it could be used for all skin types because it is not harsh at all. It tans the skin very easily and smoothly and it goes on clear on the skin; I like it. It is not expensive and you can afford to buy it and experiment just to see if you would like it or not. It smells very good and the best part is that it is neither greasy nor heavy and you could hardly feel that you have it on. One thing though is that you have to use the product consistently for a while before you can start to notice any results. It is a good product from L'Oreal and you will only know how good it is if you give it a try.

Another great L'oreal product!

Loreal has never disappointed me before on skin care and this product is not exception! It's very easy to use and gives a nice slight hint of tan... not an over powering orange color like so many other tanning products! This looks very natural and the price is definitely in most peoples budgets. The only thing I would change bout this is the scent.. i think if it smelled like Hawaiian tropic, that would be a plus!

I hated Loreals Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self tanner. It just did not work for me at all. It did a horrible job of creating a bronzing effect; I looked yellow at best. It also did not act instantly as stated on the bottle. It took forever for anything to happen and when it did it was not to my standards. It might have something to do with my skin tone, but this product did not work for me at all. It was really easy to apply, but without it working I find this to be irrelevant. The scent was great, but I looked horrible when it was all said and done. I also noticed that it lasted forever and I hated that. I tried washing it off and it took a couple scrubbing sessions to get the horrid yellow tint to go away. I just applied some other bronzer on top to make the ugly look go away. This was necessary for at least two days after the initial application. I gave this lotion away because I had this huge bottle and did not want to use it. Hopefully it works for some other people because it did not work for me.

The words Self Tanning should have been a clue

Not a product that I can recommend. I was heading for a "fun in the sun" vacation and commented to a friend that I was concerned that I did not want to burn and have a vacation ruined but it was to late to do anything about it. She offered me what she called her tan in a bottle which turned out to e L'oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer - a self tanning lotion. I told her thanks and decided to give it a try. Effectiveness I was disappointed when the only tan I got was a uneven orange color to my skin. Ease of Application No problem applying the product to the skin. I would suggest if you use this product to only apply in a area that will not show if you are unhappy with the outcome. Scent I had no real objections to the scent of this product however I do prefer one without any scent but they all seem to add something to this type of product. Longevity Stayed on much longer than I desired. Even after showering several times I found that my skin had a uneven light orange tint that I certainly wasn't in favor of.

I liked using the luminous bronzer tanning lotion for the winter season when it gets harder to get any sun. I wanted something that obviously didn't turn my skin orange or look fake. I also needed something that wasn't terribly expensive. I didn't really like the idea of going to a tanning bed so I liked that I was able to find a self tanner that looked natural and beautiful. Effectiveness I think it works pretty effectively for me. I have naturally tanner skin so adding a little bit of color and glow to my skin was pretty easy with this brand of self tanner. I like that it provided a rich glowing color on my skin, especially my legs. Ease of Application It was pretty basic and easy to apply. Of course it is important to wash your hands immediately after applying it or else you'll end up with embarrassingly dark hands. Other than that everything about the application process is pretty easy and simple. Scent As with most self tanners the smell obviously is not the forefront of the product. We all have to deal with a little smell here and there.

Overall I am very impressed with L'Oreal sublime bronze luminous bronzer self tanning lotion. I have a very fair complexion and if I'm out in the sun pretty long trying to obtain a natural tan I can get pretty badly. I am very grateful for this particular product because it leaves me with a beautiful bronzed and natural tan look. I also love how well this particular product moisturizes my dry an flaky skin. I hesitate about natural tanners because they can make you look orange but this product looks natural. I also love how affordable this particular product is. It was also easy to purchase. I just went to my local drugstore and bought it. I also love how this product smells. The scent is not overpowering or gross like some self tanners can be. It kind of smelled like coconut oil which I really liked. Overall I would purchase this product again and I would re commend this particular product to friends and family. Effectiveness A highly effective product. Ease of Application This product is so easy to apply. Make sure you wear gloves though! Scent Not bad for a self tanner. Longevity This product left me with a gorgeous tan for days!

L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Tan Lotion. A fake baked look.

I would not use L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Self Tanning Lotion after the one occasion I tried it. My sister bought this self tanner weeks ago due to being pale skinned and wanted a subtle, natural looking tan. We tried/used this self tanner at the same time and received exactly identical results. First of all, this lotion sets quickly and when it does, leaves you minimal time to correct any errors in applying. I unfortunately did not use gloves when using this self tanner and a mistake on my part because it will definitely leave the palms of your hands dark once it has dried which takes around 4 to 6 minutes depending on the way you use it. I wanted a natural sun kissed glow with a hint of shade but yet got an orange hued, glittery, fake looking and uneven tan from this lotion. Not at all what I was expecting because I genuinely always love L'Oreal's line of products. Effectiveness Not an effective tanning lotion by any means in my opinion in regards to wanting a natural bronzed glow. Ease of Application This is a very tacky feeling self tanning lotion that dries fairly fast which leaves some blotches behind. Scent I didn't mind the scent of this product but at the same time wasn't too fond of it as with all self tanners, there is a definite smel tol them all. The aroma reminded me of an herb scent as in tea leaves. Longevity The longevity of this self tanning lotion is actually pretty good. Lasting several days even after showering it stayed adhered to my skin without fading much at all.

Fabulous Results!

I love L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion! After four or five applications, I get compliments from friends, family, and co-workers on my "tan." Its very natural looking. My cousin just asked me the other day if I had been out in the sun quite a bit and when I told her it was self-tanner, she got the product name to start using it herself. I've tried many self-tanning lotions, and L'Oreal Sublime Bronze is by far the best out of all of them. Effectiveness L'Oreal Sublime Bronze is very effective. I feel like the results are seen after four or five applications and the effects are long-lasting. You don't even need to apply it everyday. Ease of Application After applying to your body, as long as you wash your hands right away, I've never had any problems with staining. Longevity After the base applications (maybe 4 or 5 applications), the self-tanning lotion doesn't need to be applied everyday. I've found even once a week keeps up the effects.

I did not have a good experience with this product. This was the first self-tanning cream that I ever purchased. This product first attracted me due to the packaging and "claims" that it made. L'Oreal advertised that the product is streak-free and quick drying. The cream is unevenly thick and is much more difficult to put on evenly.Parts were watery, parts were thick (even after shaking vigourusly). My tan was incrediably streaky. I won't use it again. The smell of this bronzer even smells fake, not at all fresh. It even left a greasy after feeling on my skin. I was hoping for a good experience just because I trusted the L'oreal brand. I have yet to find a bronzer that produces the results it advertises. Effectiveness I felt like this product was not effective and in fact only made my skin look worse. Scent The scent of this product was absolutely horrible. Longevity The color only looked somewhat decent for only a few hours. Even then it was streaky.
