Product Review: Loreal Self Tanning towelettes

By Ella McIlvain

It is the time of year where it is slowly getting warmer and sunnier.  People are itching for the summer and wanting to look the part and sport a golden glow on their skin and throw out the winter dullness. As spring breaks, spring formals and spring festivities roll around girls want to look tan without having to lay out.  I have never gotten a spray tan and have never been to the tanning bed before. The tanning bed is not good for your skin and laying out or getting a spray may be a hassle.  I tried Loreal self tanning towelettes to get ready for formal and absolutely loved them.  I am not one of those people that is to concerned with things like looking tan however I figured I would give it a try.  If you don’t want to put too much time into a little beauty routine this product is for you. I enjoyed the ease of it.  It is very simple to use with little to no hassle. I would take a shower, dry off and then carefully rub the tanning towelette all over my body and let it dry. It’s best to do it post a shower because it goes well on clean skin and you can easily apply and let it dry in the shower.  Once its on its important to wash your hands.  When you feel dry I would then go put lotion on, get dressed and then wake up in the morning and I was definitely looking darker.  I was really impressed how evenly it showed up because when you put it on you cant see anything because the color doesn’t show until later. I used two nights of coats with the towelettes and I was at a good level of tan that I liked.  I think it looked very natural to which is a plus because i wanted to avoid the “orange” looking tan.  The box comes with a couple of packets of the towelettes the more towelettes you apply the darker you get.  The package can last you along time which is nice.  They were very gentle, soft, and clear on the skin.  I have very sensitive skin so I am always skeptical of putting certain things on my skin but all went well.  I definitely recommend this product as a great alternative for at home self tan.  I am certainly going to keep using this product for all my tanning needs.
