Immediate color so wash hands right away
My opion is this is a great lotion because IT DOES STAIN IMMEDIATELY. That said, I apply the product in the bathroom at the salon where I tan becuase if I dont wash my hands right away and wash twice, the likelihood of my hands staining pretty dark is near 100% The color seems to have maybe a violet base where many lotions I've used tend to have a reddish-wannabe-orangy-browish tint. This one is definitely not leaving me orange no matter how often I use it. With regard to how often I use it, I apply some lotion every time I tan. I dont have to use this one every time though because the immediate color lasts and compliments my bed tan by extending the color, even when I go home and shower afterward. I like to use this lotion after shower in place of plain body lotion, again, because of the instant upgrade in color of my skin. The lotion blends with my Swinton well and dries into my skin leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and both looking and feeling hydrated. Unlike other self tanners that make my skin feel dry, this one actually makes my skin feel soft and not hydrated definitely not greasy. Ill order this one again because of the ultra dark instant color that lasts. Buyer do truly beware: wash your hands right away or prepare to have a little darker skintone on your palms. At a minimum, at least wipe the spaces between your difficult gets really well if you do nothing else to remove the product before tanning, then do wash right after your session to minimize color left on your hands.
