written by colette couper on 08/11/2005

Good Points
- No streaking whatsoever
- Even & consistent colour (even around ankles & knees)
- Pleasant smell compared to other products
- No stains on hands (I scrubbed them after application with soap)

Bad Points
- More than one layer produces an orange colour
- Lack of instructions on bottle
- Discolours to a liver-failure yellow as it fades

General Comments
Some reviews may say that Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Spray smells like chemicals, but have they used other tanners? The smell isn't quite apricot but it's not at all offensive. In terms of the actual tan it produces, I had no problems with consistency or streaking. However I have only used it on my legs (& after they had been attacked by a loofah). the colour was pleasant after the first appliaction, but on the second application it did look a little orange & emphasised the pores in my skin. It has lasted well over the last 4 days after daily showering but is becoming yellow as it fades. Another reviewer mentioned the lack of instructions on the bottle and I agree entirely. If I had not used tanning products before, I'm sure that I would have found a very different result on simply following the instructions provided. Overall, for the price it is very reasonable and affordable and the tan you end up with is better than some I have seen coming out of salons. Worth a shot if you already have light olive skin - may look unnatural on paler skin?? I'd buy it again.
