    Love this stuff!

    I love this tanning water! I used it leading up to my wedding and just got it for my sister to use for her wedding this October.

    My only complaint is that it doesn’t come with the brush included. Had to go out and buy one separately. But otherwise- love it!

    Tanning Water Light to Medium
    Best face tanner

    Despite my olive green undertones I'm super pale and tend to be more pink, and this tanner helps bring out the warmer tones in my face and I feel like I look healthier (low iron lol). I always get compliments saying my skin looks amazing after using a light application!
