no color develop most of it washed off after hours [SEP] this is an instant tanner it leaves color where you put it and then even though i was expecting more to develop it absolutely did not the color that i applied was the color that was there i put the lotion on at about am when i got up in the morning with a lotion applying glove because other reviewers stated the lotion left stains on their hands at about pm when i took a shower i noticed a lot of the lotion simply washed offi suppose if you want a temporary tan for an evening out this lotion would be a perfect solution it does dry easily and smells quite nice it is easy to apply with a mitt if you pay attention like i said the color does not develop i am not sure i would use it on my face
