I love me some fake tan in summer, but tend to hold off during winter to avoid looking unnaturally bronzed,
This is a lovely rich cream, really hydrating and deliciously scented.
It looks dark upon application but as you spread the product it lessens and finishes as a shimmery bronze. It's kind of that healthy glow you want with a bit of pizzazz.
It washes off well, you don't need to scrub hard, just wash as usually with your shower puff.
I've marked this down as it did transfer onto my clothing - not much, and it was on the weird hot Easter weekend, so maybe a sweat thing?
Otherwise this is an amazing product, highly recommend!
I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this bronzing cream by SugarBaby. I am naturally very pale, and I burn easily in the sun, so tanning is a no-go for me. So if I want to add a bit of colour to my body, it has to be from fake tanning products. I have used several fake tan products over the years, and I was interested to see how this would work out, especially as I have never used any products from SugarBaby before.
The SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream comes in a cream-coloured tube which stands on its lid. The tube says that the bronzing crème is “safe for sensitive skin” and that it is made in Australia. It also says on the tube that it contains “natural fragrance”, that it is “against animal testing” and that the product’s prime ingredient is organic coconut. It also states that it “Contains no parabens, no phthalate, no mineral oil, no formaldehyde, no sulphates, no synthetic fragrances, no animal ingredients.” The tube is 200ml.
The product itself is a shimmering bronze colour, which you squeeze out of the flip lid. The product is easy to apply, either with your hands, or with the SugarBaby tanning mitt. You need to wait until the product it is dry before dressing. The product dries quickly though, within five minutes of application. One drawback was that it did rub off a little on a light-coloured dress I wore after it had dried.
Because I am very pale, I find that a lot of tanning products look very dark or orange on me even if I do a very light application. This bronzing crème gives a very light and natural effect. It is about one degree darker than my natural skin tone, so it does not look like fake tan at all. It does not look orange either. It does not feel dry on my skin, and in fact has a moisturising effect. It does not have a fake-tan odour either, and it did not irritate my skin. It appears to wash off easily, without any scrubbing, as it seems to disappear in the shower the next day.
Altogether, if you are after some subtle, natural colour then this is a great fake tan for you. If you are after stronger colour that darkens your skin by several shades, then you will be disappointed by this. This is one of the better fake tan products that I have used. I would definitely consider using it again.
Tips: This fake tan does not contain any SPF, so use sunscreen in conjunction with this fake tanner if you plan to be out in the sun as well.
