Can't use a towelette more than once. By the time I'm finished applying the product (just a few minutes time), the towelette is almost dry.

No, I find that there is just enough product on a full body towel to get my whole body. It is pretty much dry by the time I am done.

The towelettes are large since they are supposed to cover the entrire body but I don't think you would be able to use them more than once.
Most of the product is used up when you use the towelette plus what is left would dry out before you could use it again.

You just wash your hands after you finish and then I just pick up the towel gingerly and rub the backs of my hands. It's also not a very strong self-tanner so that may also have something to do with it.

I have very sensitive skin and applied this product to my face, arms, and legs. I did not experience a breakout. It does, in my humble opinion, have a bit of a tanning product odor and I did not notice any discernible change in my skin tone (which is medium to olive). I should have purchased the darker shade, which would be my recommendation for anyone purchasing this product. Great concept. Great for vacation!

Yes it will be gone in 2 to 3 days with exfoliating. But it is a temporary tan so without exfoliating it stays on for about a week. I haven't noticed any streaking at all.

How do you apply these to not get streaks or splotches?
When I use the tan towel, it bunches up in my hand and I feel like I can't make a circular motion or cover everything I need to before the wetness runs out. Any tips you have to make this go on evenly or best would be greatly appreciated!

answer 4
The trick is definitely to not go in a straight up and down motion - even if you don't use perfect circles, as long as your pattern is random, that should keep the streaks away. You could fold the towel and just unfold it as you use it up, too. You can also kind of grab onto it with your fingers instead of trying to have your palm open. Either way, remember to scrub your hands good or they will tan.

Hard to explain, but I sort of put my palm on it with my fingers wide, then sort of squeeze my fingers together, pinching pieces of it between my fingers. That holds it still and I can rub it around, then move my hand for the other side to take advantage of the pieces that were pinched between my fingers.

Unfold, half on your hand at a time. Turn over and use both sides. Start with the parts you want darkest. It takes a little getting used to. If unsure smooth over with bare hand.

The product goes on clear and dries within minutes. I have hopped right in bed after application and have never noticed any staining. I guess the safest thing is to apply it 2 days before. Or start a week in advance and apply one each night until you get just the right color. Congrats on the wedding!

does this settle in the pores
I have chicken skin on my legs and usually tanners 'settle' in which just makes my pores more visible. Will this settle in too?

answer 1
no, just make sure that you really exfoliate so that the tanner doesn't cling to any dry skin, which would accentuate the chicken skin appearance. I have a shower brush with a long handle that I bought initially to reach my back, but found that it is a great exfoliating brush for the whole body. Much better than loofas or shower gels with exfoliating beads -those never work.

I know what you mean about the tanner settling into the pores on your legs, or looking like it is simply "color" on the skin. This product developed a nice, even color that looked natural. My mother, who is my worst critic, commented that she liked the color, and couldn't tell it was "fake"!!
