I really like this product, it makes my skin look great.. I only wish it didn't sparkle so obviously in sunlight- no shimmer, just sparkle ugh! (although the sparkles fall off after a day or two) The point is for it to seem like my skin is even and glowing, not being able to tell I put something on. Also the spray nozzle doesn't spray evenly, and not in fine enough of a mist, but it does blend out very easily even when mostly dry. Dries in about 15 seconds. I use it for legs, chest and arms year round; it's like an illuminating concealer for your body if you've got visible veins, bruises or discoloration, and works great as a pick-me-up for days you're baring extra skin. Will probably repurchase despite the sparkle, since the finish is so unlike other self-tanning products and because it truly stays on until you shower (does fade), and is waterproof.

Love this product!
I apply this product over Rimmel Sun-shimmer, st tropez or Fake bake, just for the flawless finish, i have scars on my legs and a birthmark, this hides everything perfectly! love it.
(have sprayed this on my face, over my foundation before, gave really nice deep coverage, to heavy to do in the day, recommend this for a night out, lasts all night!)

I like to use this in emergencies when i haven't used any fake tan. I apply this in layers and it appears a nice light even tan.

Despite being terrified on the first couple of uses thinking it will come off on the chair or any linen or clothing i come close to but it has not done this!

Great1

I finally tried this a few times after having it sit in my products closet for a couple wks. It is so awesome!! I love this stuff!! The best way to use this is to spray some in ur hand, then squirt a little lotion in ur hand, rub ur hands together, and rub in circular motions till it's all blended in. It literally takes me 2 minutes to do both my legs. Using lotion takes a little longer for it to dry, but it's so worth it, it comes out so much better. U don't have to use nearly as much product either, and it allows u to spread it soo much easier! If u want to be darker, just repeat the process. I had zero streaking or anything this way. It really is water resistant too. Just don't dry ur legs off if they get a little wet, cuz then it'll come off on the towel. This isn't orange on me at all, just natural and tanned looking. There are tiny tiny shimmers in this that u can notice in bright sunlight, but nothing too bad at all. One of the best beauty discoveries I've ever made!

Love, Love, Love this product.
It is makup for your legs. Gives you a tan instantly and you can see where the color goes at once. It's a beautiful color and It lasts and lasts for at least 10 days.
I buy at least 3 bottles at once. It flys off the shelf.

This is for the water resistant version....

I don't know why but I have never been able to get my legs to match my upper body in terms of self tanners - they are always paler and somehow wonky looking. This product changed all of that. I don't remember what possessed me to buy it as I'm generally wary of "long lasting" products but once I tried this I was hooked.

I don't use it every day (even in the summertime) but on those days where I want to have legs like an Eastern European tennis star. I apply it by spraying it first onto my hands for 5 seconds, rubbing my hands together, then using my entire hand to spread it over my legs, making sure to cover front and back evenly. This works really well (as opposed to spraying directly onto your leg.)

One coat is perfect for June, 2 is more of a late August kind of feeling. I never use it on my upper body, but I suppose it would work even if it would be harder to spread evenly.

I've worn this for a 10mile run (yes I can be that vain!) as well as being caught in a rain storm and nothing smudged or ran onto my clothing. Kind of creepy, but as I said, I'm hooked on this as a summertime staple.

Okay, I'm of "a certain age", a time when ladies wore hosiery when their legs were exposed. I have never been able to get used to showing my bare legs until I tried this product! I've got pale legs and feet with lots of veins and the occasional bruise- this stuff covers a multitude of sins and adds a nice color. I have both the medium and light shades-use the light one mostly. I guess I must have the old version, because mine have no sparkles. They apply nicely and can be built up- never stains my clothes and leaves a nice satin finish that lasts until I shower it off before bed.

This product is great for a quickie, takes minutes to complete. I have used this on my legs, stomach, back and arms and can say have been happy with results. It makes my skin look smooth and clear, hides small scars and uneven skin tone. Great for a night out, may be too much for the day as I did find it to be a bit sparkly. I have been through many cans of this and will continue to buy!

This is a great fake tan because its instant so you can have a tan in about ten minutes and make sure right there and then its not patchy or streaky. i did find if i used a touch too much it made my legs look almost plastic and slightly pink which was strange but i really reccomend this product although i would only use it on my legs not arms, stomach, face or anywhere else.

It's a great self tanner although it's not waterproof wich is a real downfall ! Sally hansen does carry a waterproof version wich is why I said I wouldn't buy this version again although it's great if you no there's going to be no water ! It's NOT sweat resistant though so be careful ! I would definetly buy the waterproof version x

Fantastic product.Particularly like the fact you don't have to exfoliate your legs prior ,as you have to with other tanners.

I have fair skin so i was happy that the results look quite natural.

My favourite time to use it is when i'm heading out for the Saturday night and don't want to look too pale in photos.

My only complaint would be price.It's about $26.95 here in Australia when it's not on sale,so let's home it lasts a while!

So I originally bought this product at walmart it was a little pricey I think it was 15$ but that was months ago and I still have it. I don't use it daily on my legs I actually use it on my face. I tan a lot so my body is tan but I don't tan my face because my freckles tend to multiply so instead I spray this on a makeup wedge and pat on my face until its covered. Paying attention to ears and neck so its all blended in. Its perfect and not nearly as thick and cakey as foundation is. It lasts all day depending on activity level and such. I've used it on my legs on special occasion and it never streaks or anything. So I will b rebuying as long as they sell it. Would definitly reccomend!

Love this stuff! HG! Just wanted to say i see a lot of you complaining about how it gets everywhere, but the directions say to apply it directly to your palm and rub into your legs from there! Mine says new formula so maybe yalls directions are different, but try your hands instead! :)

This is one of those purchases I regret very much. Everyone says this stuff is amazing, so I was afraid that when I first tried it I did something wrong, but no --- it's just not a good product for me. I have fair skin, but the lightest color didn't work for me, so I exchanged it for the medium glow. What a mistake!! My legs looked orange, streaky, and sparkly. I was not pleased. I suppose this product works well for others, but if you're really, really pale it might not be a good option. It also smells really bad.

EDIT* I found that mixing the leg spray in with my moisturizer helped prevent streakiness and having an orange glow. It's still quite sparkly, though.

I love this product, even with the new shimmer formula! It's a great, quick fix if your legs or arms are looking a little pasty and you want a punch of color. Just make sure you moisturize beforehand, as it is an aerosol spray and will streak if your skin is too dry. I've used this product for a long time, and it gives me the most natural looking tan I can achieve in a bottle.
It's a little pricey at $10-$15, but it lasts me a couple months, even with every day/every other day use.

NOTE! For those of you have bought the product in the past and then was disappointed b/c of new "shimmer" or "sparkles"..the SH Co. said they are going back to OLD formula! Thank God!!

I use Tan Glow with amazing results. Yes sometimes the spray nozzles are not as good on every can but the trick is to put a tiny amount of lotion on your palm and rub it in to your skin anyway. Even if you don't use the lotion. Sometimes, I even spray into my palm and smooth it on. I use it on arms, neck, legs and chest.

From someone who totally ruined skin with constant tanning year-round at beach, and t-beds in my younger years this is a remarkable & affordable product AND does NOT have that stinky smell you get with self-tanners.

My biggest complaint is it gets everywhere. My husband gets really mad about the state of the bathroom. So now I apply in the shower and then spray it down with cleaner and water after I apply.

Second complaint - it DOES transfer to clothing so I try to avoid white capris/shorts. AND it doesn't last like a self-tanner but...you see what you get immediately and I can't stand smell of self-tanner.

I have to agree with all the negative reviews on the new formula! I absolutely HATE it!! The old formula was a god send and my staple product. It was the only trusty product on the market that I could use that would without a doubt cover up stretch marks on my legs. I was horrified to find that the new formula: came in a can that had a really bad spray nozzle that created a blotchy spray instead of a fine spray; was HORRIBLY GLITTERY/SHIMMERY; the formula was GREASY; the colour had darkened... I had gone interstate thinking that I had just bought a can of my beloved Sally Hansen, only to find that it was making my legs look worse than if I had not sprayed at all!!! So I think I will do my pleas like everyone else seems to be doing on here - PLEASE GO BACK!!! Why change a perfectly good thing?! There is no substitute for the old formula and I had been (up until this point) recommending it as the best leg enhancing product on the market. Very disappointed that there is absolutely nothing positive to state about the change. I'm currently on the hunt for another alternative to stretch mark coverups... :(

For all of you who are absolutely LOATHING the new formulation, please like my facebook page that I've setup in protest!!! The more likes, the better!!! Out with the new, back in with the old!!! (Yes, this is a cause worth fighting for! ;) )

I have been using this product for years, It is so easy to come home from college shower tan and be out the door again to a party! And you will not be disappointed by the photographs your skin really will look flawless, just don't pick a colour too light or dark for your skin or it will make you look like a doll! I also use it on my arms and chest but mix it with a little moisturiser so it is not so thick.

Oh and it does not smudge or run in the raing but will wash off with soap and water the next day with minimal effort.
