Do you tan the safe way?

Today we're talking about tanning.  Yes, I am aware it's still Winter, but hey, Summer will be here before we know it!

We want to know how many of you still tan the 'natural' way - aka baking (and damaging) your skin in the sun? Maybe some of you still use sunbeds and sun tubes in the winter to keep that all year bronzed look?

Before we go on, if you are still tanning the natural way; we implore you...do not bake it - we want you to fake it!

We know faking it with self tan can be a bit daunting at first.  What if I look like an Oompa Loompa?  What if I end up with streaks?  Why do fake tans all smell so bad? How can I apply it without making a mess?  Will it stain my clothes? But regular fakers will tell you, like almost anything beauty related, it's about finding the right product and remembering - practice makes perfect.

Experiment with different techniques and products until you find the one that works best for you - and voila, no more damaging your skin with sun exposure in the quest for being a bronzed goddess.

We're putting Sugarbaby's Tan of the Hour to the test.

I can;t beat SugarBaby's incredible product description; so here it is: "This supersonic sunless tanner is crammed with pigment perfecting DHA and spiked with natural caramel and caffeine to create a gorgeously rich, ultra dark all over tan. 100% blendable, this creamy lotion positively glides across (and into) your body leaving a deep, velvety bronze glow (good-bye streaky bits) while drenching skin in a swathe of glow-bettering botanics (aka Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter and Coconut Probiotics) that keep you browner and skin hydrated for longer."

Who wouldn't want a believable, ultra deep, sun-soaked glow that develops within the hour?!  Oh and the Beauty Crew can confirm it smells amazing!

To make application easier we'll also send each member of this Trial Team the SugarBaby Back Up deluxe Applicator,

So - are you up for this Trial Team? Do you regularly self tan or just for special occasions?  Or do you bake it and risk your skin long-term but want to try faking it?  Or will you not give up catching those rays for anyone?  Or are you just not into tanning at all?  

Why do you want to trial SugarBaby's Tan of the Hour?

 Get chatting below - we might pick you!

How good would this be. I am so useless at tanning and want something that would be easy to apply

14th November, 2023

I've always used the Dove Summer Skin moisturiser daily, which I really love. It's gentle, gradual, smoothing and hydrating plus easy on the pocket. But I would like something a little darker, faster. Bondi Sands Tanning Lotion, which I've just tried, did not make the cut at all. While the tan appeared swiftly, within a day my skin was drying and flaking, making my legs appear like the cracked surface of a dry lakebed in the desert. So much exfoliating needed! Back to Dove, for the moment at least.

I have been trying for so many years to have my skin tan in the sun but it always seems to end up looking really bad, recently I have started using fake tan. I would love to try this SugarBaby product so much.

21st October, 2023

I'd love to give this a go, getting into dragon boat season definitely need a good glow on and keen to see how SugarBaby goes colourwise and the hold.

I would love to give this a go - fair skin and only tan with product!

21st October, 2023

I would love to try this fake tan I always bake it in the sun but end up dark on the front and white on the back :P so think it's time to try something new for a more even safe tan. Love that this also has products added to add to the hydration of my skin as my skin is definitely a lot drier now I've hit my fifties.

I try my best to only fake tan but still struggle for that really natural look. I love that there's less chance of those streaky bits. The ingredients sound pretty amazing too, like sweet almond oil, shea butter and coconut probiotics. I'm not great at giving my body treats like this so it would be great to do this at the same time as tanning. It would be great to see if I could achieve that deep bronzed tan. Usually I'm used to that more unnatural orangey look that no one loves! I'd love to give this trial a good go and write a thorough and honest review.

Always up to try a new tan, I used to bake in the sun but now I’m very sun conscious and would rather fake it

21st September, 2023

I’m looking for a new tan to try! Would love too

17th September, 2023

Definitely keen for this with summer around the corner!

11th September, 2023

I would honestly love to try this fake tan. I have been trying a few different ones lately and havnt found one I like.

1st September, 2023

I love to fake tan in summer and am very interested to try a new product. Previously I've been using bondi sands for the past 5 years but am very open to seeing what other brands are like and reviewing them

31st August, 2023

Strictly a Bondi sands user so wouldn't mind trying something different

30th August, 2023

Ps. With skin cancer on the rise tanning the old fashioned way is so not worth it! Time for a sensible change!

29th August, 2023

This looks amazing! Would love to try it out especially for a special occasion
