Clarins Self Tanning Cream

My Review 

I spent about $50 on Clarins cream from a department store. I thought pricier meant better. I was wrong.

This cream applied easily but smelled horrible after it absorbed into my skin. Then I turned orange and had streaks all over me. I washed my hands thoroughly but still had orange splotches on top of my fingers and the palms of my hands were orange. I ruined my favorite shirt after sweating in it because this product rubbed off on my clothes days after I had applied it.

It took over a week before my skin finally turned back to a normal color. Very embarrassing.

How long have you used this product?
