(hot) take on the tan: I applied two layers of the solution on myself in the morning and let develop for the maximum development time of five hours. The result? A gorgeous rich brown color that canceled out my red undertones. The tan lasted around eight days and fade was surprisingly very even (especially in the areas around the wrists, elbow creases, ankles, and back of knees) considering how deep the tan was. The blend of vitamins, rosehip extract, and coconut water nourished the skin and effectively counteracted the dryness that typically comes with using dark, rapid solutions. The tan was about four shades darker than my natural skin color, and gave even, non-streaky coverage (especially considering I sprayed my self). I would recommend this solution to anyone looking for a tan that develops super fast into a deep, dark color.
