St.Tropez Instant Glow Face & Body Bronzer Makeup, Smudge-Proof, Vegan, Natural & Cruelty Free

So I'm a middle aged man who no longer takes the sun as I've already screwed up my skin with my youthful stupidity of laying out baking at the beach. This pale Italian's skin is showing its age with sun spots and what have you. I've tried more self tanners than I can count, and they always come up short in one way or another. The worst part about self tanners is waiting for it develop, only to find patches, or worse, an orange or yellow look. You can never tell until you go outside and shock yourself in horror. Even worse, if it's a cloudy day, any mistakes are even further pronounced. It's more than likely the fact that older skin simply doesn't absorb these sunless tanners like the 20-something yo model-likes that usually review them.I decided to try two products, this St. Tropez and another brand that's even more expensive. The expensive brand ($39.95) went on smoothly and I was pretty satisfied, however, the shimmer effect is not exactly fitting for a male. Also, it did come off on clothes even after buffing out the excess as instructed. Even the next day it was still coming off of paper towel rubs. Now, as for the St. Tropez, it's pretty amazing. It's definitely has more of a bronze look (the other was more golden), and it dries ridiculously fast. In fact, you better rub that stuff around like a mutha using a mitt or wide kabuki brush. I've seen tik-tok influencers rubbing a massive amount with their hands and wind up looking like they fell asleep in a vat of pudding. Read the freaking instructions! Anyway, the smell is wonderful, but I'm glad it dissipates instantly. It hasn't rubbed off of my clothes, and thank the sun gods, no ugly-a$$ orange! A nice soapy shower will wash it all off. Will be reordering.
