L'Oreal Paris deserves props for fitting the tanning booth experience in a can. Sunless Sublime Glow Moisturizing MicroFine Mist hits hard-to-reach areas easily, requires no blending (in fact, don't) and dries in five minutes -- a dream come true. But without a booth, getting an even, blotch-free "tan" is difficult. Be careful to mist consistently at arm's length -- and stay away from white walls or rugs. Expect a slight DHA scent within two hours and a realistic brown color by coat two. Note: The formula contains alpha hydroxy acids, which can make skin more sun-sensitive; wear a sunscreen.

Initially I was really stoked about this product. BUT, there are some things you really have to be careful about prior to applying. This has the potential to be a really nice self-tanner. The mist is light, fresh smelling and does INDEED produce color. I actually find the tan shade to be pretty decent, still not as good as St. Tropze (my favorite self-tanning product). Be sure to apply evenly as this product really does produce color, even if you think it's too light a mist to do so. Do mist lightly, too much is really gonna turn you orange. The color didn't really show on my until perhaps 10 hours later, and then I was surprised as how much difference there was. I only sprayed one arm to do a comparison (over a week ago) and it's still significantly tanner than the un-sprayed arm - so it does last! For the price, it's rather nice, but be SURE to apply only a light mist and be sure to apply everywhere you want to color or it will streak. June 7, 2008, 3:49 pm

I had high hopes for this tanning product. I spent last summer being professionally airbrushed and I wanted a do it yourself method this year for budget purposes. There wasn't much in the can and it left my arms orange and my legs white...it didn't stick to my body. Also it said not to rub or touch after you spray, but it started dripping down my arm and when I dried, my arms had marks that looked like tear streams from where it ran. I was disappointed, think I'll go back to lotions and save my money for an professional. May 28, 2008, 1:06 pm

Bronzers and self-tanners and I have had a love/hate relationship for years (that's why my rating is lower than for other skin products) but if I venture into the "bronze age" I want a self-tanner that's easy to use, gets the color on my skin, evenly and easily, and lets me get to hard to reach places. L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist $9.99 does this, and more.
This product in a spray can offers a super-fine mist that dries evenly and quickly (color begins to develop in about an hour) and that makes it great when you want to "faux-and-go." Working with your skin's amino acids, this "can of tan" comes in a "medium" shade that will look reasonably natural on many skin tones. The 360 degree nozzle makes it really easy to get into the hard to reach places, such as the back of your legs and your elbows. If deeper is better in your opinion, simply re-apply daily until you're happy with the depth of your "tan." To maintain the color, reapply 1 – 2 times per week. The product is ok.....the price is right.
TIP: I like to try these types of products with a test patch in a place that's not "up front" on my skin first, to see if I'll be sensitive to the ingredients in it, and if it will turn me some terrible shade I don't want to see until it wears off. And, all ll self-tanning products work best when you give them a smooth surface to adhere to, so exfoliate before you "go for the faux." June 6, 2008, 6:40 am
