honestly this is perfect for when you want a lighter tan, but it doesn't give dark summer tan. this tan developed in about 3 hours and the packaging says it gets the darkest at 4 so I'll try that next time fair warning, you should apply this in the shower because the spray gets EVERYWHERE ¡ actually loved the application of this! it was so easy to spray everywhere and it goes on wet so even though there isnt a guide color you can see what areas are wet and rub those in everywhere. this didnt leave any streaks at all! the one major con for me was that i felt wet for a long time even after i rubbed the product in. like it wouldn't dry down which made it feel gross sitting in it for hours.
