#Thermalabs Glow2Go Self-Tanning Towelettes

Like many extremely pale-skinned women, I have spent years trying to achieve the “perfect” tan.  One which doesn’t require hours under the harmful rays of the sun, endures countless hours rubbing on aloe-vera following failed attempts resulting in sunburn, and one that doesn’t result in carrot-colored skin following the use of faux tan products.  In fact, at 41-years old, I finally decided to throw in the towel this year and embrace my pasty-white God-given canvas.  But then… I received the opportunity to try ThermaLabs Glow2Go Self-Tanning Towelettes in exchange for my honest review.   

                                                                        

I didn’t expect amazing results from these towelettes, but found myself pleasantly surprised.   First, the towelettes come in a compact, handy box with an opening at the bottom where they can be removed one at a time.  Organization is not my forte’, so I appreciate the packaging that allows me to keep the packets together in one place. 

My face was the first area I wanted to test.  However, I must admit I was a little hesitant.  But, I work from home, so figured that if I turned out looking like a hideous orange-faced creature, I just wouldn’t leave home for a day or few.  A few hours after applying the product I didn’t notice any change.  With that said, I was prepared to write a negative review and considered not wasting any more of my time with the product.  However, after waking the next morning, I noticed a delightful bronze-kissed face staring back at me as I glanced into the mirror. 

I then decided to try the towelettes out on other areas of my body.  The color of the results is amazing.  However, the towelettes are very thin, making it difficult to apply to large areas.  As I attempted to rub the towelette over my skin, it would roll up and dry out, making it difficult to apply.  With that said, I did experience some streaking, but not to the extent that I was incredibly disappointed, mainly because the color and effect of the streaking I did experience was by far, more subtle and less noticeable than what I’ve experienced with other products in the past. 

I’ve used the product approximately every other day since receiving it, with a couple exceptions, and it seems to have a lasting effect.  However, since I haven’t stopped using it, I’m not quite sure how long, exactly, that might be.  The longest I’ve went without using it is three days, and it really didn’t fade too much by that point. 

I have a heightened sense of smell and become nauseated easily as a result of unpleasant odors.  I didn’t notice any scent whatsoever when I used the Glow2Go towelettes.

Like any self-tanning product, the instructions advise to allow about 10 minutes before getting dressed after applying the product.  Furthermore, shaving within 24 hours of application is discouraged.  I followed the instructions as written and the results were amazing.  Thanks to this product, my pale skin may never make another appearance in this lifetime!
