Sea & Ski Deep Dark was applied about six times over a ten day period, the last application 12 hours before the photo was taken. In addition, there was one application of Banana Boat Sunless Tanning Creme Deep Dark Blend to his upper body and face about three hours before the photo was taken. This is one of the most natural looking sunless tans I have ever seen. Thank you Mr. Five! Photo posted 1/10/2000.
