Ok I first purchased this in the darker shade expecting that it wouldnt have much colour to it! Wrong!
I slathered it on hoping for some colour before braving a dress the next day and colour I got! Too much actually... I must have used too much, it was orange and streaky! I totally underestimated the tanning power!
I purchased the lighter shade and applied it sparingly, over a few days I built up a nice colour. Much better!
Tips: Exfoliate first! Use after the shower and use sparingly :)
I've used many tanning products, this was one of the first products i tried.. Its defintley nowhere near as good as the foam tan "loving tan" which is my go to when i can afford it, but for its price i think its great, it does tan you but i find when i use it on my overall body it doesnt seem to go on well, when i use it on my cleanly shaved legs tho it works great. its a good tan if you are planning to go out in a short dress and just want to slap some quick cheap tan on.
Tips: Make sure you througholy apply it to your legs and feet otherwise you can end up looking patchy and sort of dirty if you miss places.
This is the original OG gradient self tanning lotion. It comes in 2 shades - light to medium and medium to dark. I choose the fair shade because I am naturally really fair and it gives me a lovely hint of color first time I use it and the color deepens every time you use it so it definitely is buildable. What I like about gradient fake tanners is that it doesn't look super obvious when it's fading and also the results are really natural and not obvious. I love that this does not stain my hands and feet and that it doesn't require a special glove to apply it. The way I use this is apply it normally like I would with a body lotion all over my body in circular motions, making sure I get all of my skin. The downside to this is that there is no color when you put it on so you don't know where you have applied it. This develops in about 8 hours I will start to notice my skin looks a tint darker and more glowy. Generally I liked the results of the gradient tan lotion but I really, really disliked the smell. The smell put me off.. To me it smells really fake tanny and has that distinctive sunless tanner smell. For that I cannot give this lotion a 5/5.
This is a lovely moisturiser and works well as a Moisuriser it’s also great at gradually building up your tan.although you do have to be careful around the knees, ankles etc as they tend to darken quicker. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the Dove in fact I had someone comment and ask if I was using it as they could smell it, put me off a little
Tips: Don’t put too much on
This product was recommended to me so I gave it a go. The fragrance is light and pleasant, and the moisturiser feels lovely to put on. I didn't find it greasy. But I expected a better glow. Initially I had a great glow going on but even though I used it daily the glow lost its greatness and now it's just a moisturiser. I stopped using for a while and wondered whether I had become used to the glow, but no change. I'll still use the product however, as it does moisture nicely.
This was the first gradual tan I ever used, smells like apricots and goes on really smoothly. The only downside is the colour can be a little orange as it builds up, otherwise it would be perfect. Probably best for girls who don't tan obsessively and want a light glow.
Very patchy tan! Smells nice to begin with but after it’s developed it absolutely stinks. It clings to any dry patches of skin! And it takes a few goes/ days to actually develop a nice coloured tan
Tips: Wash hands after each use !!
Was an okay tanning lotion for gradual glow however found it hard if you missed patches any as you didn't know until later. Smell wasn't overly fantastic either but maybe that is just my nose.
Tips: Make sure you do a good coverage everywhere
Colour works amazing with all skin tones. Gives nice even glow and more use darker it gets. Love the look. It doesnt come off easiest so left spotty if left without exfoliating. If vould remove easier would make this product 100% worth it.
I like the natural glow this lotion gives to my skin. It's not orange or streaky, it's not glittery or shimmery, it doesn't collect around my knees or elbows, and it fades naturally without looking splotchy or uneven. I also like the fact it's a moisturiser too - I think my dry skin would experience patchiness with a true self-tanner, but no problems with this.
I do have a few issues with this product, though. Firstly, the smell. I find it really gross! It's very 'biscuit-y' in scent. Secondly, it doesn't really soak into my skin very well, and it being a tanning product, I'm always afraid I'm going to stain clothing or towels or bedsheets or furniture. It hasn't happened yet but perhaps that's because I'm careful?
Tips: Make sure to wash your hands immediately after applying!
I get the best results when I let this set on my skin for as long as possible (12-24 hours). When I shower next, I gently wash all over with a loofah just to get all of the stickiness and residue off. It leaves me with a natural glow!
