I finally got around to giving these a try. I shaved and exfoliated in the shower and then dried off to use it. The towelette was white and folded up, no brown color on it at all. I kept it folded and used it on my arm first, and opened it up as I went to other body parts. I used it on my arms, legs, stomach, chest, upper back, basically anywhere I could reach besides my face. I rubbed it in an up and down motion which might have been a mistake. The scent was not strong, but it definitely had a smell. Not a normal self-tanner smell, but not a very pleasant one either. I did notice a nice bronze glow soon after I put it on, but nothing too drastic.
In the morning is when I got to see the whole effect of it. I had a nice blotch right on my wrist bone. I also had a streak down the inside of my arm. I later read that using up and down motions can cause streaking. You want to use circular motions when you rub it in (I'll remember that next time!). I also had brown/orangey palms because I didn't wash my hands after (I'm an idiot, my fault). The packaging did not have application directions, which might have been useful and made me more satisfied if I knew what kind of motion to apply it. I don't feel like it was orange, but it obviously wasn't brown either. My natural tan tends to be more orangey and red than brown anyway so it looked like a normal tan to me.
All in all, for the price, I think it's decent and will finish it up. From then on, I will probably stick to lotions and sprays just because they're less awkward to apply.
Hope this was useful! Would you try a towelette out?
