Does this work well on adults? I have been reading some reviews and noticed that its common to expect tanning. Can I get some experiences and opinions on this? Does this work well while swimming or sweating?

I use it on a regular basis. I work outdoors and generally find reapplying every 4 hours works for me. This seems to hold up well to sweat, in my opinion; I have never been swimming while wearing it. As for the tanning, I haven't encountered that issue by applying it relatively generously (about the amount that one would use when apply a moisturizing lotion - turns me nice and white and takes a bit of working in to the skin... then the white fades). It's my favorite 'healthy' sunscreen - the consistency is so much nicer than a lot of the others!

I love tan towels and have been using them for approximately 4 years sometimes with other self tanners. I have a darker complexion and it looks natural on me. The key is to apply after a bathe blot dry then use the product. No self tanner is perfect u need to find the one that works for u Good luck

It wasn't for mine (61 years old) but I don't use it every week. I would think though that if it was too drying for my skin I would have noticed it the first few days after use and I did not. My skin is not exceptionally dry but where I live there is very very low humidity so I guess you could say everyone here has fairly dry skin from the weather.

I don't know. Each person is different. This might work great for some people, but I felt like it just sat on my skin and didn't really absorb. From my perspective it sat in the wrinkles too. I am 45 with very fair skin. I used the product for about two weeks, maybe I didn't give it long enough. I prefer AHA, it makes my skin look brighter and fresher, but doesn't tighten. I didn't find that this product tightened my skin either.

I have used this with much success. I went snorkeling in the ocean last year and had regular moisturizer on my face with SPF 30 and this on the rest of my body. My face got sunburned but my body did not. I have been using this for years and love it. You do need to rub it in well because you can see a little white residue if you don't.

My friend and I have used it both before and after. We started using it before we had a tan because we were very pale. It evenly tans the skin without turning orange. Then we found that it is such a good moisturizer that we kept using it! I really like it.

I have very fair skin, the product never burned me, but it flat out says not to use it if you have a tan... to me that would mean any mediterranean (light olive) - any dark skin would be bad. I agree that there needs to be a contrast between the hair and skin.

I used it most recently at the pool. It works very well. Remember that when you ary drying off - pat yourself dry with your towel, don't rub. I've used this product for many years and it covers very well. I blend the light and medium tones to match my skin color.

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.

Good Day! If you wear it during exercise it will help to pull excess water and burn fat. I am a personal trainer and I use it myself and highly recc. it for all my clients. You have to wear it consistently however, as it is not a miracle worker :).

Doesn't come off onto clothes UNLESS, you 1)put your clothes on before letting it dry, 2)sweat or 3)get body wet such as getting into pool, then putting on clothes while still damp or wet. Most self tanners I have used (or tried) do this regardless. Keep in mind, sometimes just sweating a little will do it, & sometimes that's out of our control, such as a hot day, and your chest sweats a bit. I have ruined many white tank tops and bras that way. Wear dark clothing if possible. Or..put it on the night before, and after you get a desired color, shower, then dress. Also, remember the more you shower, the more it gets removed (which always for me results into patchy tan-because I'm so light skinned).

Be generous, a quarter size for your arms, more for the rest of you. I put it on to start the day, then after lunch, apply more often if you don't have any tan at all. I use it for backpacking and mountain climbing trips.

I think it looks fine in sunlight and have never had any negative comments (family would say if they thought so) You can not use this product and go swimming. It is a light powder like substance that will wash away. It takes a little practice to apply without caking but is the best alternative to a wig. Very happy with it and I use it daily.

As a lady going through pre menopause, I sweat a lot!! It's never leaked down my face. Now if I rub my head or run a towel over it, you will find some residue on your hand/towel. But to run? I've never had that happen. I hope this helps :)

I spent at least two days trying to tan my arms and face using this device and I noticed no measurable difference in skin tone nor did it lighten any tattoos. For that reason, I would not recommend using this on your skin but then again your experience may vary. There are probably better devices if you plan on using this on your skin. (PS...it's a class 2 laser - which i learned after a quick consultation with a friend named Google.)

I've only used it for feet. Initial use dries out the skin and you can feel a little itchy, but it really works and that is awesome. I suggest using it for about a week every day, then every other day or every three days. I have forgotten to wash off hands, and it really dried them, so maybe the skin on hands is too sensitive (or at least, mine was). I forget what the package says and you could try it if it's recommended for hands, but just be prepared for possible super dry skin there, and really be careful not to rub your eyes or touch face. Gloves after application may be in order. Good luck! I'm still grateful to hydrosal for this product and the fact that I wear sandals comfortably now in the summer : ).

Do not get sweaty or wet while your tan is soaking in. You will streak and end up looking like a tiger. What worked best for me was tanning about 30minutes before I went to sleep then showering in the morning. It might rub off on your sheets a little bit but it washes right out.
