Product reviews of L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium-Natural , 5 fl oz (150 ml)
Review: Very Good Stuff
Beauty product: 5 Stars
So I just tried this stuff last night and well I really really like it! I put this on before I went to bed and I liked the consistency of the product and you don't have to use much.It is really easy to rub in and is kinda just like putting lotion on. The smell was not bad at all, it smells pretty good for a self tanner. When its on your skin you can fell it but it wasn't bothersome at all it felt a tad sticky but wasn't that big of a deal. Then I went to sleep and woke up to see how it looked and the color is really nice, not orange at all. And to my surprise I didn't smell awful. You could smell the self tanner scent but it was very faint. I didn't use that much product just a thin layer and it gave a nice tan, it probably made me like 3 shades darker. I'm sure if you used a lot of product it will be much darker and the bottle says keep applying until desired color. I did not have streaks or anything either, I don't think you should get streaks from this stuff if you rub it in really good. I am fair skinned so probably one more use and it will be the color I want then I will just maintain it.Also I worked out and took a shower and the tan did not come off at all. I will definitely keep buying this product and would recommend it. Review: best self tanner

I have been using this gelee for a few years, and find it gives me a natural looking tan. Just wash your hands thoroughly after use. Review: i swear by this stuff
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Okay this stuff is cheap and it works pretty darn good. i will admit if you use it ALL the time you may get a slightly orange look, but its not as bad as some other self tanners that make you look wicked orange. anyways, this stuff is pretty easy to apply, it goes on clear, but i have never gotten any streaks, even when i do my own back. it dries pretty quickly, and then i cam dress. i have never gotten a bad tan out of this stuff, always looks good :) you just cant beat it. i remember a few summers ago i bought this and i went back to the store i bought it at and they only had lotion! NOOO! i went to every store looking for the gel! i eventually found it, thank goodness! i would have been kicking myself if i couldnt get any! this stuff is worth a try :) im pretty light skinned, and i go for the medium-deep. one time is usually good for me, then i will use it again in a week( sometimes less, depends how dark i want to be).
after i posted this at amazon i noticed that it says something odd above my review, it says that my review was form their site or soemthing? i just want you to know that i posted this here at amazon.
Review: sublimely bronzed for a sublime price!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
For anyone out there doubtful of this wonderful yet cheap product, lose those doubts and at least TRY IT! Take it from a girl who knows-- I have used every self tanner, from the cheapest of cheap to expensive department store brands on beyond, but this one beats them all. The whole "Sublime" line by Loreal is great, but after using the wipes, tinted lotion, etc, I stick with the gelee. Time for tips and tricks!
First off, the worst thing about self tanner is the obvious streak and clumped obvious deposits on places such as elbows, knees, and ESPECIALLY with this product-- wrists and heels! Some reviews state to put on lotion on these places before acting as a barrier. Though I have tried this method (and it works well), what I have found personally best is to mix the Loreal sublime bronze gelee with lotion. Two tricks to this-- First is go with medium or medium/deep. The color is rich and brown without looking fake (I am naturally fair skinned, but am capable of a decent tan-- this product delivers as deep a tan as I want while still looking natural). Second trick is buying a lotion *WITHOUT MINERAL OIL*. If you have not read about mineral oil (often referred to as petrolatum, etc on product ingredient lists) google it; it is the most common ingredient in almost all lotions on the market-- even those that claim to be natural, when really it's derived from OIL! Therefore, it inhibits the lotion from soaking into the skin and instead coats the top layer. Though it is difficult to find a lotion that's without mineral oil and moderately priced, I have found a heaven-sent collection in Jergens Naturals. Mixing the self-tanning gelee with the lotion makes the body fool proof to any streaks while still depositing the perfect amount of color, helping achieve that "glow" without waking up the next day 10 shades darker.
I mix the lotion and gelee in my palms (usually one good pump lotion, 3/4 the amount of lotion in tanner) so that when I pull my hands apart I have mixed lotion/tanner on each hand evenly- so I know I am using the same amount of each on each half of my body! Some may be hesitant to mix the lotion with, thinking it won't give as good of a tan but TRUST ME, I have been using the product for YEARS! I continue this process, rubbing in circular motion all along where I desire my tan to be. Another tip-- to avoid over-covering problem areas, after your hands have no product left on them, THIS is when I rub onto my knees, graze my elbows, tops of feet, etc-- though there is no physical product in palms it is there mixed and light, just a light grazing is all you need for the perfect distribution of color!
Though the product is quick-dry, I recommend waiting at least 15 minutes until putting clothes on. You can do it as soon as you feel dry-- this has never stained my clothes, sheets, etc. However, just as a precaution, I take a little time for this to settle. Since I usually do it before bed, I am scared I will have awkward streaks from sheets or bedding if I don't let it dry long enough. I have never had a problem though.
My last tip is my biggest- Wash your hands FREQUENTLY during application! I wash after everytime I moved on to a different section of the body. This tanner, as with any self tanner, can really get into the skin between fingers, wrists, etc. Rub with soap and warm water, while rubbing a towel in circular motions throughout the whole hand (especially palms) numerous times. Don't forget to scrub hard (or use a nail brush if you have it) around your cuticles, as these are especially dry areas! Lastly, spread a good coat of that natural lotion on hands, to lighten any lingering tanner and moisturize after all that washing!
For the price, and the general ease (the entire process takes me about 20 minutes, from shower to finish!) of application, and quality of this gelee I give it 5 stars. Please give it a try!
