USE AS TAN PRIMER!!!
I recently had a spray tan with a celebrity spray tan artist and she used this to PRIME my skin before the tan. I have spray tans regularly and did not do anything different than I usually do. I scrubbed my old tan off to oblivion the morning of the evening spray tan as per usual. When she arrived she said she wanted to prep me- she sprayed this on all over my body and scrubbed it in using a mitt. Then asked me to go shower it off, not using soap or anything. Just towel dry.
She then contour spray tanned me and the tan had lasted PERFECTLY without patches for a solid 12 days (bar my face which I cleanse twice daily- this I topped up using the tan luxe drops). I only started getting mild patchiness on armpits and neck at day 13, barely noticeable. During this tan I neglected it more than I ever do with normal tans to help maintain them- I only moisturised my body once. Had hot baths, the whole shebang. She didn’t use any different spray tan products than other artists so the only thing I can pinpoint this tan lasting as well as it has is due to this!! I wouldn’t bother using it as a tan remover, get the Bondi Sands removal mousse for that and a Korean scrubbing mitt. But use this as a tan primer and prepare for the most even durable tan you’ve ever had! Enjoy xx

Not sure what the point is?
I used this hoping that it would alleviate some streaking after an unfortunate fake tanning incident. It didn't really do anything to remove the existing fake tan so I am just waiting for it to fade. I believe this product was really designed as a preparatory treatment to use before applying fake tan, rather than to correct any mistakes. I didn't feel that it did anything at all. It seems an unnecessary step to me.

Requires effort
It took at least 3 rounds of this exfoliating water, as well efforts of good scrub to get the tan out. It was not as effective as I though it would be. In first use my skin was very patchy with the tan and had to wait at least another day to do it again to avoid over drying of the skin.
Smells lovely, does leave skin feeling soft but also felt dry. Avoid using on open wound as it will sting.

I bought this in advance of a wedding that my daughter was a bridesmaid at and the rest of the family were guests. It got rid of all our old tan so that we could apply afresh and also helped with any mistakes we made. It stopped us having to use a ‘scrub’.

Excellent for tanning mishaps!
I am always ending up with weird over tanned areas after self tanning and this has come to the rescue many a time. Usually need to go over my ankles, feet, hands (heels of hands and between fingers) and any rough patches on knees and elbows to erase and mistakes. Would recommend

Excellent
This product took me by surprise, as I purchased it largely on a whim. It is in fact excellent at helping remove fake tan that is fading in order to apply a fresh self tan. One particular added bonus of this though is that it smells so good. It also left my skin very soft rather than over-exfoliated and dry.
