Bath and Body Work's Instant Radiance Gradual Tan Body Lotion-help?

So the other day, I bought Instant Bath and Body Work's Radiance Gradual Tan Body Lotion, and I wonder if it really works. This is my first time trying something like this and well ... I forgot to do a little research beforehand. > <Soo, I was wondering ... will I be able to correct some bad lines in two weeks? And if I want to correct some tan lines ... I still apply to the whole body? Thank you guys soo much in advance! [:

I would recommend exfoliating before you start. Bronzing, gradually or not applying easier and more uniform, if from a smooth surface. I'm not sure how well it will cover the lines as bad, probably depends on what obviously they are. I would also recommend before applying it all maybe try a particular area and see how well it would, or at least help mix. I actually used in some of the cherry blossoms during the summer jap, and I felt I was doing the work but I was only applying twice a week and extra colored legs. The interesting thing about the gradual tanners is that it is only a light bronze and nothing extreme. Good luck!
