All self tanners I've used leave blotches of color. Looks awful! Do the towelettes do this? I was told they do not but I need to be reassured.......

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

I haven't had the blotching. However if you do not apply them evenly you will have missed places but not blotches. I find these to be the best yet.

There will be no blotches or streaking when you use Tanning Towels. They're the best tanning product I've ever used.

These towels are prety good. It's important that you firs really clean skin well and dry. Spread evenly in circular over lapping motion. Be careful around joints expexially insideof the elbow. Wipe there lightly and reapply a little bit after dry. Fortunately it doesn't take a long time to dry. What I do is after I use the towel...in reinsert it in the wrapper and go back ove the areas such as joints later on but try not to bend until I feel it's dryed well enough. If I ben while moist there is a good chance of the blotched look. I always scrub skin well before reapplying.

No problems with blochiness, towelettes are a little dry unless you are a very small person.

I only tried one towel so far and was please, not as streaky as the bottles - just more $$

I [and my husband] only use the tan towel on our legs. They do not leave blotches. My friend uses tan towels on most of her body and, again, they do no leave blotches. I prefer using "fake bake" on my face. Once you start using tan towels, however, dry with a dark colored towel after bathing because it does leave a stain. I had to switch from my off white towels to brown! Will save the light ones for winter.

Hi, I haven't noticed any staining on my light green sheets or pillow cases and (only if I rub hard) after a shower I see a little color come off on my white towels but it washes right out. That happens with any tanning product because, obviously, some of the dead skin cells that have tanner on them rub off on towels after a hot shower. Like I said, no problems washing right out of my white towels, and I do not use bleach.

I've been using this product for several months now, and it HAS bleached my towels (which are green and tan) and fitted bed sheets (which are dark gray). I have NOT noticed it bleaching any of my clothes, though. It seems like it only bleaches materials that rub directly against your skin on a daily basis. I haven't seen it bleach clothes from one day of wear.

I've used bleach a few times, with no noticeable wear. Brightened them up and removed minor stains. But as another user said, I would not do it regularly.

Besides the normal fading that happens over time with any self tanner, I haven't noticed that anything (including sweat/exercise) causes it to come off. This is also one of the few products that I have not noticed streaking with.

I use about 1 a week and my tan stays golden brown. I get so many compliments on what a nice tan I have. I do tell people that it is the "tan towels" as I use sunscreen like crazy. The tan towels do not streak or blotch or look streaky at all. I am a huge advocate of the tan towels as you can see. I recommend the medium to dark though.

Yep, it bleached my hand towels. Solution: dry your hands with a white hand towel after washing them, let the treatment dry before putting your face on you pillowcase.

It is a really great exfoliator. I give it five stars. I don't know how well it will do removing built up self tanner (I have never had to use it for such a purpose) but I would think after using it several times the self tanner can be exfoliated. Hope this is helpful.

There is a typical self-tanner smell from these towels. DHA - the simple sugar that causes the "tanning" of the skin releases this odor when it reacts with the skin and will be present after using any self tanner containing it. The level of smell is related to the amount of DHA in the product and to the level of coloring that occurs on the skin - an unfortunate side effect of the process. I found these towels create a natural but noticable color without an overpowering smell which only lasts until you shower. Not a bad trade off.

Definitely not like self tanner! I'm a tanning addict, and love all AG products. Gives you a nice color.

I've noticed that they stain when using somewhat greasy/saucy items. I haven't used them for cookies since I use parchment paper when baking cookies. I have multiple types of liners and they've all stained in some way or another. IMO better the liners stain than my cookie sheets.

Sure. Again, I wasn't impressed with it. Bath & Body Works has some really nice self tanners.

I've used the plain "Self Tanning" moisturizer and also the "Firming Self Tanning" moisturizer. And to tell you the truth, I see no difference. i do like the self tanner for taking away my complete WHITENESS. And the "tan" lasts a while. Plus you can "build" on the tan. I have very light skin and use the "medium" which works just fine. Just be sure to apply evenly. My sister is swearing by Loreal Sublime spray tan---I'll be checking that one out next! Good luck!

Not a traditional self tanner. It does provide a slight darkening. You need to apply often. It won't turn you orange.

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

Hi Madeleine;),this self tanner lotion used to be good, but not anymore, I stop ordering because the company I think change the formula and became to be weak.... meaning it doesn't tan like before, is just not working anymore... I'm using L'Oreal Paris L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion, Deep Natural Tan, 5.0 Ounce
