The Edyt Score
4.6 / 5.0
Targets
4.6/5
For a first tan that needs a mitt and the extras in one box. Skip it if a mitt and a Classic can are already on the shelf.
Formula standards
4.6/5
Tools plus product. The mitt keeps palms from staining, and the color still needs even, thin layers.
The verdict
A useful starter kit if tools are missing. One kit is enough.
