9 Worst Summer Skin Care ProductsSee which self-tanners and sunscreens get two thumbs down from our readers |
No. 3: Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Sunless Tanning Lotion, $9.50 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 3.8*
Why: Readers say this product is "splotchy," a "sunless streaking lotion" and that "you get what you pay for." One woman says, "I am a big fan of sunless tanners, but this one did not meet my expectations. The color didn't look natural and I had a hard time applying an even tan because it was streaky -- especially near my knees and elbows. This lotion doesn't dry your skin, but doesn't give it a great color either." Another reader was a bit more upset saying, "yuck! Cheap and stinky. I hurried home to shower off the embarrassing odor. Don't waste your time or clothing on this product." One woman said she "looked like I painted myself with polka dots" after using the product, while another says to use it only if want to look "like a brown zebra!"

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.
