Model Co. Sun Sponge Self-Tanner

Model Co, best known as pioneers in the sun-less tanning industry with first their Airbrush Technique and later their Airbrush In A Can, now offer a product that they hope will make a sunless Summer glow even easier for you to achieve. Sun Sponge Custom Self-Tan is that product.

The directions are easy. First, you shake the container thoroughly, then you press it against your leg 2 or 3 times to activate it. Taking care of one section of your body at a time, you use the sponge-tip to spread the product evenly on your skin. It’s tinted with a bronzer so that it’s easy to see if you are getting it even.

I used it this morning. I was very careful applying it around my knees and ankles, as is suggested in the directions, but I still have some streaking there. At one point, I used my hands because I could not get rid of the streaky bronzer with the sponge.

I think this would work best if someone was there to help you apply it. My ankles look a little goofy. I can fix them with another application.

Here’s what I did like about it:

It didn’t smell bad when I appplied it. I smelled a bit like a cookie, until about an hour ago. Now, for some reason, I smell like any other self-tanned girl. The color is very good. Greg said, “Have you been tanning.”  Normally it would take me about three applications to get this level of bronze.
