ISLE OF PARADISE

Even thought we aren’t going out and doing much these days, I’ve realized keeping up with my self care routine still makes me feel good. I feel put together and confident. I’ve been painting my nails, taking extra steps in my skincare and I’ve started self tanning again. Sunshine is hard to come by in Wisconsin Winter so I was really excited to test out the Self Tanning Water in medium and Self Tanning Drops in light. These products are super easy to use and much less messy than typical colored tanning mousses I use. I applied the tanning water with a mitt and it was quick and easy. The arm picture before and after you see in the next pic is with the medium shade. I used the light drops on my face and body as an even quicker self tan by mixing it into my face moisturizer and body cream. If I could have I would’ve got the drops in medium as well but they’re great for touching up a base tan. These products do have a slight self tan scent but nothing that bothers me. I definitely recommend these if you need a no fuss self tan! ISLE OF PARADISE - Self-Tanning Water ISLE OF PARADISE - Self Tanning Drops *these items were sent to me in exchange for an honest review

i have to say i am so impressed by this! as someone who is new to self tan (a year indoors and learning about the harms of sitting in the sun have converted me) i always fear the horrors of self-tan gone wrong: blotchiness, stained clothes, and an unnatural shade. BUT ISLE OF PARADISE - Self Tanning Drops gave none of that, instead providing such a beautiful natural glow! I got the shade Medium and used it on my body— after a shower (i exfoliated & shaved), I mixed about 1/2-3/4 of a dropper in with lotion per limb and spread evenly. It’s a clear serum and a very forgiving formula, many have said it’s hard to mess up (and a great tan on my first try proves their point!). After the lotion felt absorbed, I was able to put on clothes and go about my day as it developed— no stains anywhere! Didn’t have a scent and felt comfortable, just like I had applied lotion by itself. They say you can wash off after 4 hours or use it overnight, and I had left it in for almost 24 hours before showering. I had briefly rubbed my skin with a towel the next morning (before showering it off) and noticed slight staining but I was rubbing aggressively and noticed nothing rubbed off on my clothes. While showering, only a small amount was visible in the water and my tan remained pretty much the same— a natural looking glow just like my usual summer shade with no patchiness or odd dark spots. I had washed my hands well after applying it so they were slightly lighter, but not so much that I cared. It’s been 3 days now and a few showers later and the tan still looks great! Overall, this was a great, fool-proof experience and gave a perfect boost that genuinely looks like i just stepped out of the sun!
