Isle of ParadiseSelf Tanning Drops - Color Correcting Self Tan Drops for Gradual Glow, Vegan and Cruelty Free, 1.01 Fl Oz

I have a light to medium skin tone, and I purchased the dark drops. I use 12 drops to achieve the desired effect. I recommend a skin test such as a dot on your inner wrist to determine the desired drops. Fair skin i would start with 3-4 drops and fair medium 6-8 drops. I have a small container where I mix these 12 drops with enough moisturizer to cover my face and neck. I use a Q-tip to blend the drops and moisturizer together.I start applying the mixture at my forehead, using small circular motions, and then work my way down to my neck, making sure to cover both the front and back. I even lightly apply it over my ears. Personally, I don’t apply it before bed; I prefer to use it at the start of my day. It will take about 6 hours to see the full effect.Take your time while blending, or you may end up with streaks. The drops do not leave an orange tint but instead provide a natural-looking tone.Will purchase again :)

I'll start by saying I'm pretty pale and wanted something to tan my face to match my body tan in the summer. I used to use these in the medium color but I'd end up using 6-8 drops and it would make my moisturizer really watery so I just bought the dark drops and used 3 drops the last two nights and now my skin is the perfect shade of tan. So if you're wondering if you can buy a darker shade and use less drops and have it look the same, the answer is yes!

I wish I had known about this when it first came out! I was skeptical at first but it works like magic. All you have to do is put some moisturizer on your palm and add 1-2 drops of this magic liquid. Mix it well with both hands before applying to your face and neck. Make sure you cover all areas evenly including your hairline if you have a receding hairline. I left mine to develop overnight so I didn’t really time it but my skin looked really tanned and glowing the next morning. The tan covered the dark spots too. It didn’t wash off after a shower. By the way before you apply this make sure your face is clean. I did my nightly routine with cleanser, serum and moisturizer. I didn’t use my retinol or glycolic acid. I’ll experiment with it later on and give an updated review. I just used it this morning on my body and arms. Will update as well later. The smell isn’t so bad. Tolerable not like your usual self tanners.

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 this3. 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

I really like these self-tanning drops! I always use them on vacation when I don’t want to wear makeup but still want a healthy, even glow. They give my face a nice, natural-looking tan without the need to sit in the sun — which I try to avoid, especially on my face. Super easy to use — just mix a few drops into your moisturizer. Just a tip: make sure to wash your hands really well after applying to avoid any staining. A must-have in my travel bag!

I’m not sure about this product. I have light skin tone and the result looks kind of orange on my skin. I’m wondering if I used too much, so I’ll only use half the drops next time (I used the max amount the first time). It does go on very nice and because I used a daytime moisturizer it soaked in quickly.

Great self tanning product that you add into lotion to apply. I wear gloves when applying (then don't need to worry about your palms). Make sure to put lotion on skin areas that gather (elbows, knuckles, etc.)(this goes for all self-tanners) I suggest using a tanning brush to apply on your hands.The color is nice (not orange). It is not streaky. It is not oily. It does not stink.

The best one I have sued so far! I bought golden glow and used 5 drops. I have nice golden color on my very pale legs! Now the color matches my arms. Hahaha. I am very impressed by the color. Not yellow. Not fake looking.
