9 Worst Summer Skin Care ProductsSee which self-tanners and sunscreens get two thumbs down from our readers |
No. 4: Lancaster Self Tan Instant Bronze Foam, $27 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.2*
Why: One reader rants, "don't do it! This is a terrible, and rather pricey, self tanner. They weren't kidding when they called this 'instant'. This product stains your hands so fast you have to scrub them with soap and water EVERY time you pump it on your hands. Otherwise your palms are stained FOR DAYS. Because you don't have much time to work with before it sets, you end up frantically trying to smooth out streaks. The worst thing about it? If you get a tiny drop of water on your "tan" you'll get a noticeable water spot. This is just a really bad product." Another reader says, "only use this if you want to look like a freaky orange monkey!" And she adds, "don't buy this product intentionally." Another reviewer says that this is the "worst self tanner I have ever used. Smells horrible. Too expensive. Streaks bad [and] takes forever to put on too."

DDF's products are overrated, the only thing that I've ever found useful from that line is their sulfur mask. That is all.

Funny how Burt's Bees products tend to be on both the worst and the best lists for a lot of different products.
