At first I did as the directions said and did not rub it in BIG MISTAKE! However, the color was nice and it lasted through my workouts and showering after about 4 hrs of using it. So, I tried again, instead, I blended it. This seemed to work. I've mastered a routine of how to get the best results. I spray my arms first, rub it in, wash my hands. Then I do my chest and torso area, rub it in, wash my hands. I continue this doing my legs from the knees down and then from the knees up. I did find that I was coughing after I did this, so I bought those face masks that doctors use and it seems to help. By the way, the smell is quite pleasant. From someone who has tried several alternatives, I'd definitely recommend this product (but make sure to rub in!).

I have used this product several times this summer and have not had one bad experience. I have an extremely fair skin tone and it still covers well with nice "real" looking color. I do believe it probably lasts longer on someone who has an olive skin tone or something similar.

Exfoliating just before application will help remove and dry flakey skin, and that is important.

The best advice I can give regarding this product is you need to use it just as the manufacturer recommends. If you spray too close to your skin then you would (as one reviewer stated) end up with uneven color, missed spots and even drips. Even though it is colorless when being applied, if you watch carefully you can see if you have gotten too close and if too much tanner has been applied in a specific area. I use a small make-up sponge and dab those spots lightly to prevent dripping and uneven color. If you find you have missed an area it is easily touched up after color is fully developed, (on average 8-10 hours).

This was new to me as well and the best advice I can give anyone is practice makes perfect! Start out applying lightly, and once you have a feel for how to effectivley apply it, you will end up with nice color that doesn't wash off with one or two showers.

This truly is a great product. I've used many self tanners before and this is by far the best one. The mist really is a "micro mist" that goes on super fine for an all over even look.

I'm mostly French and English so my skin tone is very fair. Seeing as my skin is so light I usually go for the light/medium self tanners. At first I purchased the micromist in the "2 shades darker" and it came out very natural looking. Almost too light for me though. I wanted a deeper color so I purchased the "3 shades darker" and the color came out beautiful. Not orange at all, just a natural tan glow.

When applying be sure to not stay in one single spot on your body or you will get blotches. You must spray in continuous, even strokes. Also, be careful on hands and feet, you really only need a quick even spray or else the color will look too dark. When spraying hands; make sure to keep fingers spread apart and slightly bent. Another quick tip is I apply a little lotion on the creases of my fingers, toes, back of heels, elbows and knees.

A huuuge tip is to definitely exfoliate. The best results will come from clean, fresh exfoliated skin. After the tan has set in completely, usually after 8 hours, I take a quick shower. I don't use soap, just let warm water rinse off any excess. Then after I apply lotion. Lotion is key in maintaining the original color.

I really do love this product and recommend it to any first time self tanner users. Hope this review helps! :)

Honest reviews on Neutrogena Micro-Mist Tanning Sunless Spray

I purchased this product on sale at Target. It came with the scrub and two exfoliating gloves. I used the scrub with the gloves in the bath and then dried off thoroughly. I then sprayed (very thoroughly) all over my legs and arms and torso. I sprayed over several times. I was actually worried I would end up using the whole bottlebut didn't. I made sure to hold the spray 6 " from my body as the directions said. If you hold it too closeI can see why some would end up with zebra stripes. I did not rub it in al all. I sprayed my hands and rubbed it on my face. I washed my hands with soap and water right after. After my face felt dryI did a quick spray on my face (eyes closed:)

Right after I did all this (as it was "developing")I came on this site and read all the bad reviews of this product. I was terrified I'd end up looking like a zebra like the other posters. I didn't. It turned out great! I cannot find one spot that looks weird. I'm shocked how easy it is. NowI do have olive skin to begin withso this may be why it was so easy for me. All I can say to those who end up with lines is that you might be holding the bottle too close when you spray.

I've never done self tanner beforebut this product is excellent and I'll use it again an again!

I bought this item for my first time 2 years ago and since then I have rebought and rebought and will rebuy again. I love it. But there is a certain technique in applying or else you wont be very happy with the results...First of all do not spray too close, spray about 6 inches away and do NOT overspray! Or else you get that orange color because it is not meant to be oversprayed it makes you that perfect shade with one and maybe two sprays at the most. Work quickly and rub it in until its all blended and make sure to rub it in between the toes too and only lightly around rough areas (knees, ankles, elbows...etc) . I have an olive skin tone and it makes the realest sexiest tan for me.
