Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops - Color Correcting Self Tan Drops for Gradual Glow Vegan and Cruelty

This is a fabulous product. Anyone looking for a nice looking tan, look no further. This can be added to any lotion or moisturizer. Gloves are not needed. Just make sure to wash hands after with soap & water. It is super easy to use and my skin also feels soft. There is a slight smell - to me it smells like cucumbers, which is pleasant enough for me. You only need to apply to each area once. IE: whole arm, leg, torso, etc. I fill the dropper completely and add to the lotion in my hand. Be especially careful with feet. They don’t need much to have color and can so easily look orange. I do not use the whole dropper on my feet. I would put lotion or Vaseline around toenails to keep the cuticles from getting flooded with tanner and looking weird. I have found that applying twice a week is plenty. At first, I do 2 days in a row and if I like the color I wait two days before I apply again. Then I wait three days to apply again. It doesn’t seem to get on my clothes. It looks like a natural golden tan. I love it and use it on my face and entire body. It is a little bit sticky feeling, especially in the arm pits and where the arm bends. But it doesn’t last a super long time. I put it on in the morning usually. After several hours I notice the color. And at the end of the day I am amazed at how much color I have from just a little product. And I love that I can add to my lotion. It is a little pricey, but if you want to have a nice and natural tan, it’s cheaper than going to a spray on tan place. And the fact that it doesn’t turn my hands orange is awesome. I think a bottle could last a month, but if you apply several times a week, you may need a bottle and a half. So happy with this product. I already ordered more. And I will continue to use it, even in the winter months. It’s so nice to look tan. Read more

GREAT FOR THE BODY, too!! This is my second purchase of these drops. I love them and here is why: it takes very few drops mixed with your moisturizer to obtain a natural tan. Because these are to be mixed with moisturizer and then applied, there are few to zero streaks. The bonus? These can be mixed with your body cream or lotion and be used that way too! 5 drops into my body cream covered one leg. For my whole body I think I used a total of 20 drops. I used a tanning brush to smooth it in and I woke up with a gorgeous, natural looking tan! It also lasted and can be repeated a couple of times a week. So much easier to apply these than using a big tanning bottle of cream or foam and finally no worries about streaks or uneven application. Just take your time making sure that your cream is evenly spread on your skin. Yes, some will rinse off after showering or washing your face, but plenty of color remains. This is it for me, and I can no longer see ever buying any other tanning product again. They have a good thing going with these drops and I hope that in the future they will figure out that these are just as great for the body and make a larger bottle. No need to purchase the “tanning water” separately for the body. These drops do it all. Read more

I'd probably give it a little under a 4 but I rounded up. I don't even remember how I came across this but for some reason I got convinced to try it out. Here's what I think: Pros: 1. Customizable. You can decided how many drops you want to use. That means you'll have to experiment a bit to find your ideal amount but I really like being able to have some control over how dark or light it is. Start off low! I'm serious when I say start off using 4-5 drops. That provided more than enough color for me. 2. It fades nicely. I work out a lot so it's important that all the sweating doesn't cause weird splotching. That's happened with other products but not with this. UPDATE: It's actually been fading weird at the ankles. I scrub my ankles hard to try to get rid of that. Definitely cant use this on your feet and expect to wear heels. It's too obvious and I learned that the hard way. I use my mousse for that. Cons: 1. The smell. A distinct tanning smell. I really don't like it, but my b/f hasn't said anything yet so idk if he notices. I have been using St. Moriz for years and love that it has a very subtle smell. Just not the same with this. 2. Can't see it. That's generally not a problem since you're mixing it with a lotion. However, I have missed spots thinking I applied the lotion fully but didn't and then it becomes a very visible mistake. So you've got to pay attention and be thorough when apply this 3. Leaks on planes. I've been having issues with this when traveling. I'll screw the lid on tightly but product will leak out. I recommend placing it in it's own little bag within your liquid bag so it doesn't get everywhere. I had a big issue with this the first time I flew. It got all over in my liquid bag. Luckily because it's a strong smell, I realized it leaked. However, when I was cleaning everything out I got some on me. I thought I washed my hands thoroughly but I missed some spots around my wrists and forearm and visible dark spots for days. Overall, I do like using this product but it makes me nervous. I haven't used it on my face yet because I am worried about missing a spot and having it be super visible. Right now I continue to use St. Moriz on my upper body and use these drops on torso and legs since those spots are less visible. The two products match very closely in color so that's not a problem. UPDATE: It hasn't been going well around my ankles and feet so I am not going to bother trying around my face and hands. Too worried about it Read more

Great color and shouldn’t break you out. I have more pale skin and I think I could have done the medium shade instead of light. I usually do about 5-6 drops. My tips are to bring it down your neck, into your hair line and don’t forget the ears!! Also remember to wash your hands!! Lol Read more
