Famous Daves Tanner is a white lotion, which have a fair neutral scent and builds up to a great tan if you want to. I am on my second layer and is going to apply a third tomorrow. The color is GREAT, totally like a natural tan. Normally, if I apply a selftanner and later (within an hour) put on a pair of shoes with ankle straps, I can clearly see white stripes on my skin where the ankle strap was. That did not happend here, I have no idea why, it just didn't! I use it on my body aswell as on my face and I have had no reaction at all, it works fine. The color develops after 4-6 hours, which is longer than some other selftanners, but that is fine by me.
Here is Francine's guide on how to get the perfect tan :
- Take a shower and exfoliate a LOT. Use either a loofah, body scrub, those scrub gloves or a wash cloth and really scrub it good.
- Dry off completely and then use a good amount of oil (I use Palmers Cocoa Butter Oil it's like $3 at Walgreens but baby oil works too). Put the oil on the feet, elbows, knees, wrists, and then sort of rub a bit onto the hands.
- Let this dry about 5 mins.
- Apply the tanner all over your body (it comes on white so really rub it in circular motions).
- Put it everywhere except the knees and feet and hands...for these areas, use a TINY bit on tanner, rub it into your palms well and very lightly apply to the feet and knees.
- Wash your hands with soap and scrub and a nail brush if you need to.
- Put a bit for oil all over your hands.
- Wait 5 mins again.
- Take a cosmetic sponge and sparingly apply some tanner on to the tops of your hands and blend lightly on the the wrists.
- Let it dry and dont wash your hands for a few hours. You can get dressed within 5 mins.
If you mess up a bit, some astringent will get it out easily. Dont use much on the feet and hands, they really soak it in. It should last a few days to a week.
So far I am so pleased, that I dumped my Clarins and Lancome selftanner.

I like famous dave's too. I usually use the tanning bed, but i have cut back and use the self tanner to keep my tan longer. It has very little smell to me, but i mixed it with laura mercier au lait body butter and it made it smell yummy.
I am pretty pleased with Famous Daves so far. It goes on easily, with minimal streaking. I have to take special care when applying on my hands, elbows, feet and knees, but that is expected. There is no bad smell, which is nice because I always hate the stink of self tanners. I think this is pretty moisturizing too. I don't feel that I need another lotion when I use this. I have only two gripes about it. First, I have noticed a few times that this rubs off on my white bath towels. I have never seen it on my clothes after application, only right after I get out of the shower. Second, as it fades it looks scaley on me. Not very cute. I have to really scrub hard to get rid of that look. Overall, I would buy again. It is the best value I have ever found in the self tanner department. Most other brands (Clarins, Clinique) - are $17 and up.
love this. i can't lay out in the sun, otherwise i end up with a rash. this stuff gives such a convincing tan! very pleased.
GREAT TIPS I CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS :D

Don't be discouraged by the price, it really is the best sunless-tanning product out there! Everything about it is good quality, and if you are not satisfied the company will give you a full refund. No traces of orange on my skin, just a golden tan. No streaks, either. Truly worth the money :)
