You can try it. I have oily acne prone skin. Using it on my face breaks me out, almost immediately after using. I should say, most products do break me out though.

It depends on your skin tone. If you wear fair or golden fair, you may only be able to use this product once a week. If you are darker than that, it will look more natural. Honestly yes it will stain clothes. Get some dark green, dark red, brown, charcoal, and black clothing/towels/sheets. Use them after you apply. Once you wash the left over lotion off, no more staining. Be sure to exfoliate every day. I like unscented mineral oil free body lotions from the drug store, when out of the shower.

It is a self tanner, so yeah it does have an oder. They all do, some are just worse than others. I think this one is pretty mild, probably the second to third best as far as smell goes. Will it stain clothing? Yes a little bit if you wear white or pastel/pale colors. Once you shower in the morning, if you used it the previous night, there is no issue with staining. Just be sure to exfoliate every shower. My favorite product to use in conjunction with self tanner is by dermal0gica. It is a navy blue cloth. It takes the place of your loofah. It works so much better than a loofah or washcloth. Instead of scrubs, you just use the cloth with whatever soap you usually use. After showering and exfoliating, pat yourself dry, do not rub or swipe. Then use a regular unscented moisturizer. I personally like eucer1ne or aveen0. Again look for no fragrance and no mineral oil. It is my process and itr works for me quite well.

You can, yes. I find using just faux tan in he spring/summer/early fall, then using a tanning moisturizer in winter is what works for me. I do not need more for off days. If you find one application of faux tan too light, but two too dark, then using this in conjunction would likely suit you. Will it make the tan last longer? Sort-of. You are adding tan to tan, so in that aspect yeah it will last longer.

It depends on how tan you would like to look. Do you plan on using this once a day every day? If yes, then this might last you a month. If you plan to use it 3-4 times a week, likely 3-4 months. 1-2 times a week, maybe 6 months. It also depends on how much you use each time. How much skin you are covering, etc. It is impossible to give you an exact time line.

As for staining, it depends. Will this stain white or ivory? Pale or pastel colors? Yes, a little. Will it rub off on pale colors? A little. My solution; deep green, deep red, brown, charcoal, or black clothing towels sheets. I use them the day I put the tanner on until I wash it off in a shower. I have no staining issues anymore. No more worries or mistakes.
