This could just be a case of user error. I was all set to use latex gloves to evenly rub the tan before I double-checked the bottle and saw that it was a “no rub application.” How bad could it be?
The next day I anxiously looked for my tan. Fortunately, I only used it on my legs. The result was a very slight tan with a couple of round brown spots, the size of a coaster. Not streaks, just a couple of big circles.
Because it did not have much initial affect, I decided to try again. This time I did rub the product on and was more confident that it would blend better. I was right.
