Best tanning lotion for natural sunbathing
I've gotten darker than I've ever gotten in the sun, with this product to help. I don't sit outside all day long either. I apply the lotion and sit in the sun for a half hour up to an hour, and wow what results! I never used to tan much, no matter how hard I tried so I credit the lotion for my success. I'm Irish descent so for my legs to be this dark is miraculous. This lotion doesn't stay greasy or gross like some. It will stain clothing before it sinks into your skin, so be cautious while applying. There's a light sweet coffee scent...very effective product. Will buy again.

BEST STUFF EVER
A friend sent me a bottle of Maui Babe from Hawaii. Let me tell you. I slather this on with a mitt at the beach and also use some other spray lotions. Here it is November and I still have some tan left.

The best browning lotion ever.
This browning lotion is great for when u want a little color on your skin. It also helps when u go outside in the sun , it helps with the tanning process . Always put SPF on but put this lotion over the SPF
