So if you have read my reviews surrounding self-tan, we don't have the best relationship. However-this stuff just washes off! (Which is fabulous if you look at bit stripey by the end of a fun night out) This stuff is easy to apply, put some in your hands and apply to your body, just like you would with any cream, and blendit in. Whats great is you can see the result straight away, so you can be in control of being non-stripey!
