Awful smell and VERY gradual.

According to other reviews, this smells lovely and a lovely golden tan with one application overnight. This is not my experience! Good points - the lotion has a lovely consistency, goes on smoothly, soaks in quickly and the pump is handy. Bad points - the smell is dreadful! It does have a very strong fake tan smell / cocoa / dog biscuits - but this did fade overnight. I could barely see any difference after one application. I've just applied another to see if it deepens any. Don't buy if you're expecting a lovely golden tan over night - you'll be disappointed! Only 3 stars so far - as it does say its "gradual" so I can't pull it up for that.

Best gradual tanner I've ever used

I've used it for a few days and I already look so much tanner. It's not orange at all and it's very even. For reference, I have olive toned skin and can get pretty pale if I'm not in the sun much. This stuff complements my skin and adds a nice golden tone. In terms of smell, it's not the *greatest* but it's great for a self tanner. It only starts to stink right before I need another shower and I think that's because of my natural body odor, which could make the smell different for anyone. To prevent this though I usually put scented lotion on in the morning after applying the tanner at night and that seems to minimize it a lot. Also it doesn't transfer at all! My white sheets are unfazed :) Definitely recommend.

Fantastic!

Let me start by saying that I have very fair skin with a neutral undertone. Also, I have never used any tanning products before. They seem very messy and seem like a lot of trouble to use. Plus I've always assumed they would look orange on my skin. I got this Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk as part of a free gift at Ulta. I used it for 3 days and it has given my skin so much color, but not at all orange. It's a golden tan. I am still in the learning process, but so far, I love it! In fact, I love it so much that I just purchased the full size. I have not used this on my face and do not plan to do so. I saw a lot of comments about the scent. I don't have any issue with the fragrance. It smells sweet on my skin. Yes, the scent does linger, but it's pleasant. I would ... MoreLet me start by saying that I have very fair skin with a neutral undertone. Also, I have never used any tanning products before.

I think it must react different when it comes in contact with certain pH levels. That's the only reason I can see anyone complaining about the sweet scent. Anyway, this may not work for someone who already has a light-dark complexion, but I have seen great results for my fair skin after only a few days. I will continue using this product on a less frequent basis to maintain the color I have now. I think if I kept using it everyday, I could go overboard. Also, my hands did not turn orange, but I did follow the instructions and wash my hands after using. Hopefully this review will be helpful to some of you.

Go to for a natural ghosty.

I have previously tried many gradual tans over the years including well known big brands but find i'm left greasy, streaky and/or not a very natural looking colour. For someone who is literally so plale i reflect the sun, this has been absolutely perfect. Its very fast drying so i don't find myself sticking to my clothes, the colour is really lovely, even and natural. Noticable after two applications, a lot of reviews have mentioned the smell but i like the smell of cocoa butter so its a win for me. I also can't say I've noticed a lingering fake tan smell. Compared to the smell of other brands that can be quite perfume like. I mix with a plain moisturiser to do hands and feet. Pump bottle is also a win. Would 100% buy again and again. Also leaves skin feeling nice ... MoreI have previously tried many gradual tans over the years including well known big brands but find i'm left greasy, streaky and/or not a very natural looking colour.

Great for a light golden colour

I managed to buy this product at a reduced price and immediately bought another after trying it. It is a tad expensive at full price, but the colour, albeit very light, is a lovely golden colour and not orange at all like some other more cost effective drug store brand choices like Ambre Solaire. It is not very strong, so do not expect much of a change, especially after a single use, but the smell is lovely and it is a good moisturizer. It is not meant for the face and did break me out a little when I decided to risk it and try it on my face so I wouldn’t recommend that to others who have reactive skin prone to blemishes. I would consider buying this again just for the overall experience of using it which is pleasant and it is a good product to moisturize the skin ... MoreI managed to buy this product at a reduced price and immediately bought another after trying it.

It also helps skin recover from suntanning and deepens the colour slightly.

No transfer or stains, looks natural, for super fair skin, lasts about a week

Used it multiple times now. I feel like it’s a bit orange but according to everyone around me it looks natural however I believe if I used it every day I would end up looking less natural but it’s the perfect colour. I did a patch test first (I always do one 24h in advance with new products). It dries so quick and I’ve not had any streaking problems, it has stuck to areas of dry skin I suggest putting it on wearing gloves or your palms and fingers might end up patchy. I actually quite like the smell but my mother is not so keep so I can’t guarantee you will like the smell but the smell doesn’t last. I tend to put it on after a shower in the evening and 24h after I wash it off and the smell goes with it but the tan stays. It might not show up super strong the first ... MoreUsed it multiple times now.

It might not show up super strong the first time you do it but it will the second time and I recommend leaving it on at least overnight. I bought it so I don’t look like a photoshopped in ghost girl in everyone’s photos because I do without it …. Sorry to anyone I photobombed. Since I have used it I don’t look too tanned but I feel like I’m not going to stick out in photos anymore. I’m so pale that I now look like a natural colour with it on. I tend to use it once a week if not less but for a holiday I might do it once a week maybe more just for more of a tanned colour.

Not for everyone

I don't really get why people are so obsessed about this milk. I know the fake tans of this brand has a pretty nice skin colour, but this milk by itself....NO, it is not nice at all! It will be orange on your clean skin if you will apply it without preliminary layer of fake tan. My skin has an olive tone and first reaction was orange-brown, like something is not right with skin, it looked like I have some problems with it. Smell as well, it smells like very old cream or something like that. I don't even know what to compare with it. It doesn't smell like coconut or shea butter or whatever nice people say. Before buying it, just pop in to the shop and smell it. Good that I bought just 100 ml. I've never used such a strange thing before :)I wouldn't recommend it to ... MoreI don't really get why people are so obsessed about this milk.

The best ever!

Huge bottle & great price. I love a tan but hate tanning, messy & stinky. I’ve used other gradual tanning lotions in the past & not liked them enough to repurchase. This one is VERY impressive, the best I’ve ever used & I will definitely be repurchasing! It doesn’t leave my skin tacky all day like others which is a huge factor for me as I can’t stand tacky skin!! I apply it for two days & I’m left with a really natural looking & even tan which lasts a few days & fades exactly like a real tan, absolutely no patchiness! Lovely soft skin too. The only slight negative for me is the fragrance of it, don’t like it but it fades within an hour & the result is so fantastic it’s worth putting up with. If everyone finds out how good this is it’ll be constantly selling out!!!!

The best for fair skin!

I don't typically write such lengthy reviews, but this is the best tanner I've ever used. I was initially hesitant to try because of the price, but it's so worth it. It checks every single box.It doesn't go orange.It doesn't streak.It doesn't transfer.It doesn't feel sticky.It doesn't have an overwhelming smell.You can build it up for more color or apply it every few days just to maintain a light tan on fair skin. You can also use this to extend the life of a darker self tan mousse. I can also apply this to my face with no problems whatsoever.I love that it has a little bit of a cool, rosy undertone to it so it looks extremely natural as it develops. I'll never stop recommending it.
