Good for a light tan!

I do quite like this product for a nice light natural tan, it does definitely give you a sun kissed look, I usually apply this two- three times over a week to get more of a tan, I like this for every day wear rather then night time. It also has a strong smell but I'm a fake tan fan so I don't mind it and doesn't stain your hands!

Tips: I usually wear latex gloves to apply this as I find it can be quite streaky if I don't! But you don't have to if your a pro at applying this

Winter Saviour

I have used this product over a number of years in the lead up to school balls in the middle of winter. It's great to gradually tan my pale skin and not have the 'oompa loompa' orange look. I usually buy fair-medium but have bought medium-dark in the past for a faster effect.

Tips: Be careful to apply evenly as it can appear patchy

Light tanning-Good

It gave a light very nice tan after using it 2-3 times. Smells average but lovely for a tanning cream as these usually don't smell to pleasant. Would defiantly use it again, maybe with another tanning cream as well.

Great results, good application but too slimy

I have fair skin, but I use the summer glow for medium to dark skin. I find that it is still gradual, but I don't need to do as many applications, so it saves time and product. It is easy to apply, not too thick so spreads on well, and as it is quite greasy you can tell where you have applied and don't miss any spots. I even find it easy to put on my own back. I find it works really well as a moisturiser too.It makes my skin soft, and I feel like it helps with break outs a little bit. I have sensitive skin, some moisturisers give me a rash, but not this one.

On the negative side, I don't like the smell and it leaves me feeling a bit slimy all day or night (I usually put it on at night so I can wash it off in the morning, and don't have to wear it around as I hate the feeling). Sometimes I have to shower twice to completely remove the smell and slimy feel.

In saying that, it is the best tanner I've used so far, and I love the results, so I continue to use it. A few improvements could help but otherwise, great product.

NB: When i have used the one for fair to medium skin in the past I haven't noticed much of a tan until I have applied it several times... So I'm not too impressed with the light shade, but I like the dark one!

Tips: Go for the one for medium to dark skin, even if you have fair skin.

Don't apply straight after shaving your legs.

Favourite Tanning Moisturiser

Best moisturiser out. I love the smell and the gradual tan makes it easy to get perfect. I even use this after using other tanning product to ensure perfect tan.

Summer Glow

This product is amazing. I have skin so pale you could almost call it see-through. After using many different products, I finally came to this one, expecting to turn orange, like the others did, and I didn't. The tan it gave me was natural looking and it gradually built up and never got too dark. It never left my skin all flakey so I found it to be quite good.

Tips: Wash your hands straight away so you don't get the tell-tale marks on your hands.

Bronze goddess

I really like the tanning properties. It doesnt look orange and looks natural. The only thing is that it takes forever to soak in so I have to wait a long time before I put any clothes on.

Tips: Wash your hands straight after otherwise you get orange marks in between your fingers

Best self tanner!

I really like this product. Its relatively easy to apply, and because its gradual it looks really natural as you don't get any streaks.

The products itself is a good consistency, its a cream which makes it easy to get out of the bottle and easy to apply.

It does however have a bit of an overpowering floral scent and once its on it gets that 'fake tan smell'.

It also feels very sticky once applied to the skin.

Once you have built the colour that you want, you can just apply it twice a week to maintain the colour.

I use gloves when using this as it will stain your hands.

It last quite a while, and is a good price compared to other products.

It gives a nice natural colour, only goes orange if you apply it too often.

The packaging it comes in is practical, easy to get every last drop out.

I have very pale, sensitive skin and it works great, and overall I love it :)
