Easy to use

I think this tan is great! I've used it for many years and although I don't reach for it much because I'm trying to limit chemicals I use on my skin it still sits in my cupboard for when needed. It's perfect for tanning beginners, teenagers, people with limited time or energy. It's as simple as rubbing it into your legs like a moisterizer , wash your hands to avoid the dreaded orange splotchy hands and you're good to go! So easy. It takes about two days of use to start building a decent tan and with continued use it will keep getting deeper so you can customize the colour easily and can avoid the shock of applying something too dark. I didn't find the tan patchy and I also find the product nice and moisturizing. The scent though, is unfortunately a bit too strong for my liking. That's its major downfall.And although the results are pretty natural looking and I'm content with then there are products out there that look even more natural. But for the price point and simplicity of use this product is still a winner.

Tips: Wash your hands with soap and water after you apply it!!!!!!!! Don't skip this step okay, trust me

Used to love this product

Before graduating to using Bondi express tanner, this was my absolute go to!! Medium to dark shade worked well for my pale legs. Easy application & very affordable product. Only complaint is I did feel my legs were a little orange at times haha.

Great Tanning Moisturiser

I have been using this a lot this Summer and have been loving it. I wouldn't say this replaces a fake tan, but it gives me similar results with gradual use. I have been using the medium to dark shade and love the glow it gives. It's affordable and has lasted me a long time, you don't need a lot to use a lot to get results. It's moisturising enough and I will continue to use and probably repurchase when I run out. It does have a slight scent, that distinct scent of fake tan. It doesn't bother me, but would not recommend if you were sensitive to the fake tan smell!

THE BEST!!

I love how this product is buildable and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and moisturised whilst giving you a stunning natural tan look, it's better than fake tan products I've used in the past so I've ditched those for this! (I use the medium to dark shade)

Tips: Apply after exfoliate/shave after shower, to build colour use this product

A great product

This is my favourite gradual tanner, I like the smell and it does feel moisterising as well. It gives a nice colour, not too orange. I like that it is easily available from supermarkets etc and it is not an expensive product. And also that it is such an easy tanner to use, real fake tan kind of scares me so I like that this will just give me a subtle result and I can build it up if I want to.

Tips: I have pale, dry skin. I use a normal lotion first and then put this on after. I also don't use it everyday otherwise it will get too dark. Once you get the colour you like, use it every two or three days to top it up and make sure you wash your hands well afterwards!

I like it

The first time I used this on my legs, it turned out quite patchy, but that was down to me not doing it properly. So a few weeks later, I tried it on my arms. And to my surprise it turned out amazingly well. No streaks, dark patches or harsh lines. And although I was quite pale at the time (before I came out of hibernation) lol, it still look really natural. You couldn't even tell I had any sort of tanning lotion on.

Tips: Apply it the night before you want to do something as it sets better over night :)

Not a bad price & good even colour

I have used this now for over two years I really like the colour & the price. I have tried other products but kept going back to this. You don't want to use too much just enough to smooth into your skin coating it lightly each time. I found it builds to a nice glow & the scent is not too fake tan-ish. If you keep using it over the winter months it will keep your tan topped up . It is good value & does what it says it will. I will continue to purchase & recommend to friends

Tips: Use a hand cream before applying to help stop tanning your hands & always wash your hands thoroughly immediately after using, making sure you really concentrate on cleaning the lotion from around & under your nails I also found that it needs to be rubbed in well & having your fingers splayed out helps to achieve an even look

Definite Summer Glow!

This product gives the glow it says for sure! For me the medium to dark only really works in winter, however in summer I find it works to even out any tan lines!

easy natural tan

This product is perfect for those just starting out with fake tan. It is easy to apply as it gradually builds up to a natural tan with no streaks. You can replace this as your moisturiser as it is hydrating. It does take a little bit longer to sink in than an average moisturiser but nothing to long. It is sooo cheap and easy to find at the supermarket which is a bonus. The only downside is the smell. I wasn't a fan of the smell and it tended to linger throughout the day, although this didn't stop me from using the product.

Tips: Apply at night if you don't want to smell it on you during the day.
