Self tannning at home is DAUNTING. It can spark fear in even the most confident people. But it is so much better than going to a tanning bed, and it’s way cheaper than getting it professionally done, so if you can find a good brand it’s a great option. Well, I tried out the Loreal Sublime Bronze tanning towelettes, and they were suprisingly great!
The tanning towelettes can be found at most drug stores for around $10. They’re packaged in little gold boxes with single-use towelettes inside, all in a buildable shade called “Medium Natural Tan.” The great thing about them is you can go as dark as you want just by applying more product.
When I landed in Cancun, the plan was to go straigh to the beach, so I took out my towelettes to try them for the first time. I noticed the box said they were streak-free, but as most avid-self-tanners know, this does not always hold true.
To my surprise, the towelettes gave me a pretty even tan. I used one towelette for my legs and arms and applied it in small, circular motions to be sure I didn’t miss any spots and the color looked uniform.
I also liked that the towelettes didn’t smell too strong and were easy to apply and dispose of. However, I did notice that if I applied too much product the color came out a little bit more orange than I preferred. So, when you use your towelettes, be careful to not over-apply!
Overall, this was a great product for traveling. It was the perfect tool to touch up my tan and build it to a darker shade!Â
If you want to try them out you can get them online at Target for $9.99.
