Bain de Soleil Streakguarde Tinted Self Tanner Foam Medium

I was always surprised that Schering-Plough, the behemoth that owns Bain de Soleil and Coppertone, didn’t put out a sunless tanning mousse. They finally have, and it was worth waiting for.

Though the consistency is a bit watery, the color is great, and it is a forgiving product – meaning it’s hard to mess up and end up with streaks.

The perfume in the product is too sweet and too strong, but on me, at least, it faded rapidly.

You absolutely must shake it up well before applying, and watch out for your walls; it can fly around. The medium provides a good light tan with just one application, and it lasts four days for me.

For a type I skin I thought this was the best one I have tried. I have a very pale skin color and left my skin a golden brown with very few applications and has to have one of the best fragrances for sunless tanners.

Smells like coffee and the foam looks like coffee but it gives me a nice color and didn't streak.

Gave this Type I guy a deep long lasting color with one app.Hardly any smell.The CG is light but messy and the foam is very watery.It tends to splatter and drip so it takes some work. Takes a while to dry and still can be sticky.Worth a try at this price
