L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse Review

April 15, 2020

FacebookTwitterPinterestMixEmail

Since our shelter in place took effect, I decided that I was going to use this time to test out new products. I have been wanting to find a self tanner that I could use at home that wouldn’t streak or make my skin look orange for the longest time. And I hesitated to try and find a self tanner because I was worried about it not looking right and being forced to be seen out in public. What better time then now, to test out a few options!

I know just like with most beauty and skincare products, they aren’t one size (skin tone) fits all. I have olive skin and so what products work for me, might not work for someone else, and vice versa. While I trust the recommendations of my peers, I also know that to find the right product (for me) I may have to try a few of the recommendations before I find my winner. So, after waiting a bit for my self tanners to arrive, I now have tested out my first self tanner and wanted to share my review along with what I used to have an even tan that lasted.

My first self tanner I tried was, L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse. I had read a review from a beauty blogger I look up to who also has olive skin tone. She normally uses Loving Tan but did a review on this more affordable option. What stood out to me about her review was her comments on the smell. I liked that she made a point to say it smelled really good and didn’t have that self tanner smell. I am sensitive to smells and didn’t want to smell like self tanner. This product has such a great scent to it. Even Justin commented on how good it smelled.

They say it’s important to exfoliate your skin before applying self tanner to achieve the best results. I started by dry brushing my skin before taking a shower. I used my body wash which has exfoliating beads and shaved my legs to make sure I had an ultra smooth surface to apply my self tanner. After my skin was completely dry post shower I applied the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse. I used a tanning mit to help protect my hands from turning orange. I applied my self tanner twice in 24 hours to achieve the color I desired. They recommend up to 3 times within 24-48 hours for the longest lasting tan.

After one week I could tell the color was starting to fade so I applied another layer. This time I used a different self tanner on my face because I felt that the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse left my face looking a little too dark after that second application. When applying it to my face, I used what was leftover on my tanning mit as opposed to adding another pump of tanning mousse to the mit before applying. For the second go round a week later I used tanning drops that you add to your favorite moisturizer. This left my face with a nice tan glow after cleansing the following morning.

I would totally recommend getting the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse! Since I don’t have much to compare it to at this point, I’d give it a 8/10. I love that it’s buildable. You can achieve the color you desire without looking orange. It lasts about a week if you apply more than once. The smell is great. The reason it’s an 8 out of 10 and not a 10 out of 10 is the fact that I felt I needed to use a different product on my face and I went through a good amount of the bottle in just a few applications. I’m not sure how long a normal bottle of self tanner is supposed to last but I probably only have a few more uses before I’ll need to go out and buy another one.
