Recently we received a new line of sunless tanning products by Norvell Tanning. Their line of products, when applied correctly, yields a summer glow that will leave your skin feeling hydrated, nourished, and definitely sun-kissed.
The brand teamed with ABC’s Dancing with The Stars to create a line of self-tanning products that if good enough for the stars, is good enough for you!
In addition, the line is infused with VIO-7™, a specially formulated blend of anti-orange bronzer pigments. The bronzer counteracts any undesirable undertones like orange, to produce a natural-looking sun-kissed glow.We first sampled the PERFECTION Self-Tanning Mousse, a super-lightweight, mousse that goes on smooth and is best applied using the Norvell Sunless Blending Mitt. Which we were also provided, for review. It’s a great find and protects your hands from over absorption of the product and over processing of color. It’s highly recommended to wash your hands even after wearing the mitt, as the product can seep through if over saturated. We learned this the hard way.
To achieve a perfect tan you’ll want to apply the mousse in small amounts as the mitt absorbs the mousse rather quickly. We found it best to apply the mousse about a tablespoon-size portion at a time. Apply in circular motions as you work your way from one side of the body to the next. It dried rather quickly a hairdryer can be used to achieve a faster drying time. The product did feel a bit sticky, and due to the DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) gave off an odor. The odor comes from DHA’s chemical reaction with the amino acids contained within the protein, keratin, a major component of the surface of your skin.
After application, drying, setting, and waiting for the full 8-hours before showering, we did notice some slight streaking. We were unable to tell if the streaking was due to the Mitt’s absorption of the product, or if this was due to application failure. Once showered, the streaking reduced, along with the smell. Overall the self-tanning mousse is a great find because the color that iis exceptionally close to a realistic looking tan. We’ll be applying and reviewing the Endurance Gradual Tanner CC Cream next.
