storm does this product rub off, or does it actually help you get a better faster tan? I'm concerned it may be like the self tanning products.

i ordered this lotion and i am not sure if it is fake or expired but it did not work at all... there are a lot of fakes out there or people who sell expired lotion. beware :(

It is not a self tanner and will not rub off (unfortunately - I'm having an allergic reaction to it).

I used it both in the sun and a tanning bed, the tingle only worked on my face not my arms or legs, gave me a nice color though, did leave some staining on my hands though, didn't think it was supposed to do that. it also have no moisturizer in it and left my skin dry

Im pretty happy with the color. Definetly raised my body tempature, I felt so hot afterwards but it wasnt a tingle. My face is still hot and I tanned 2 hours ago. Im pleased, could be more moisturizing though.

I have ordered the Black Storm and have not used it yet, however I also ordered the Paint it black 50X, you may want to try it. I don't see that it tans me any faster, therefore I feel it is not a self tanner. Its possible it may make me a little darker, not sure but it makes my skin feel great and I am sure it is as good as any other you could get. By the way, it doesn't rub off and I wear a lot of white

It comes off gradually, but not completely. I reapply it every day or every other day to keep a tan. If you don't reapply it at all your tan will wear off in a few days. If you really scrub it, it will come off, but you have to work at it.

I've never personally experienced pain nor heat from using this product, but my skin is incredibly resilient (I'm olive and oily and never sunburn). My best guess is that your skin is far more sensitive than mine and perhaps you're letting the gel dry too long and therefore rubbing harder to get it off. The added friction would produce heat and probably some skin sensitivity, too, so rubbing it off sooner or re-wetting if it's dried too long may help. And, if you really just have fair, sensitive skin, this product may just be too harsh an exfoliant for you. Best of luck.

I believe so. I no longer use tanning beds, but have had no issues when using self tanning products or spray tan rooms! This is a grind off product & isn't supposed to be used as a soak off . It doesn't soak off! I love this sealant & it's been a great top coat for myself! I've told all my gel nail friends & family that they need this sealant! I hope this helps. :-)

It does not streak or at least hasn't for me. But I would consider using something else for outdoor tanning simply because the accelerators could cause u to burn in the over exposure. Its meant for short time exposure with indoor beds

Nope I've been using it for the past 6 months it's done nothing, it didnt even combat the usual slight skin darkening I go through due to the Florida summer sun. Everyone is reacts differently but that's been my experience.

Yes, what I have experienced with this product is that it gives me great color after it developes, it actually seems to look better the next day. But most washes off when you shower. This can be the downside, but I have to say that it gives my really white skin the best most even coverage without turning me orange, better then any tanning product I've ever used, so therefore I love this product and continue to use it.

I can only speak from my own experience, but using this product has absolutely diminished the appearance of the fine lines around my eyes (crows feet?) and around my mouth. Just to give you some background, I've had both sun damage from tanning, scarring from acne, and enlarged pores. I won't go as far as saying that this product has completely eliminated all of my skin problems, but I will say that overall my skin looks MUCH better than it ever has. For the first time I feel comfortable to leave the house without makeup. It does seem to have slowly repaired the appearance of scars and fine lines, and has definitely shrunken the size of my pores. I hope this helps! I can only speak from my own experience, but using this product has absolutely diminished the appearance of the fine lines around my eyes (crows feet?) and around my mouth.

1. It does not rub off on clothing after you've let it dry a bit (10 -15 minutes.) 2. I apply it once. If I want it to be darker, I apply it the next day as well. 3. It absorbs fast. 4. Yes, you can see where you have applied it immediately. It is colored, though not ridiculously so. 5. Yes, it comes with the application mitt and you should use it. 6. Any exfoliating mitt or body scrub will work. 7. Yes, underarms can be colored. It is the best self-tanner I have ever used.

I use this at all stages of tanning. When I first start tanning, this gives me a great base tan in a matter of days, then I continue to tan and continue to get darker. I don't think I've reached the point where I couldn't get any darker wih this stuff. It's better than the $80 stuff from At the Beach.

Im a daily tanner as well. This gives you an instant deep dark tan! Especially if you tan easily!! (I don't. And this is my absolute favorite!)

Honestly I haven't tried yet but if you don't wash off the extra self tanner after applying it, I'm sure some will come off in the water. but it does not streak for me at all. also if you have some tan already it looks a lot better I think.

Hello, I have only self tanned once, and it worked really well for me. It also smells amazing.

i have used this but mostly use the adult version "livestrong thinksport " for myself bc it is cheaper. i have not experienced the tanning. works well while swimming/sweating.

It initially has a vinegar type smell that dissipates in a minute. Then as the tan develops, it can make your skin have that typical self tanner smell. I did like how well it worked though!

I used this product twice, nervously. I did follow the directions to a T and I have had professional peels in the past so I was fairly confident.... I myself bought this to treat my own melasma spot that appeared this past summer. I did not see the results I was hoping for. I did this treatment while also treating the melasma spot with prescription strength hydroquinone. It has faded but I believe it is because I have been obsessed with sunscreen , microdermabrasion and prescription Retin A. The fact that it's winter helps too. Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear but if your looking to peel off your melasma it's not a quick fix. Your going to need a dedicated skin routine with a mix of treatments & patience. Good luck.

Hi, again! I did an application this weekend and left it on longer since my skin has so well tolerated the prior applications. The results were more noticeable and my darkest dark spot is much lighter. I think it's safe to say that in another couple of applications it won't be visible anymore. I did leave it on a bit too long this time so to prevent blistering I really do still recommend gradually increasing the time to minimize risk of any injury to your skin, per the instructions. Good luck! I think we have a solution. I hope it works well for you, but we're all different so it's hard to say. Take care. Hi, again!
