Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel

clarins radiance-plus self tanning cream-gel

Advantages: gives a nice glow if applied correctly, and no problem for sensitive skin
Disadvantages: lid doesnt stay on, can look patchy if skin is dry

I have been using clarins radiance plus self tanning moisturising gel for a while now, this is because its the only self tan i have ever used that is good for sensitive skin. I wouldnt say it was very moisturising. I tend to still use my usual moisturiser on top of this product, as my skin goes quite dry if i use clarins radiance plus on its own. It does give a nice colour,as long as your skin is well moisturised and exfoliated before hand, otherwise it can make your skin look quite patchy and uneven. I have tried other moisturising self tan creams, and they are either no good for sensitive skin, makes your skin look too dark, or appear to give no colour at all, clarins radiance plus is the best where these are concerned as long as again its applied again, correctly, and you dont need much. The price from Boots was £21.50, the last time ...

Review of Clarins Sun Self Tanning Radiance Plus Self Tanning Cream Gel

Clarins gelée auto-bronzante-disppointment

Advantages: Moisturzing and glides on easily
Disadvantages: not instant tan, no colour guide, colour is not v.good

This is a instant self tanning gel, instant i say? I thought instant meant that it would give instant colour obviously, or so it says. It is quite misleading in my opinion. I bought this thinking that i could use it in the morning and go out in the afternoon with nice bronzed legs. This was bought in boots for £14 125ml which isnt so bad. The packaging is quite bright and uplifting with its striking yellow colour. It claims that it is 'Non-oily, easily absorbed self tanning gel, ideal for those who wish to maintain a year-round tanned appearance. There's no need to wait before dressing'. When i got home i tried it on my arm(without prepartion) just to see how it absorbed into the skin.The gel sinks in the skin nicely but does leave a slightly greasy feel, so yes you do need to wait before dressing unless you dont mind gel rubbing onto ...

Review of Clarins Self Tanning Gel

clarins self tanning milk

Advantages: gives great sun kissed glow but natural
Disadvantages: none

I've used this self tan for years on my face in spring/summer instead of foundation. It just gives a natural healthy glow, and if you then add a tiny bit more on your cheeks, it acts as blusher also. Then instead of foundation going graesy on your skin in the sun, you just have a natural look. I reapply it about every week. The tube has lasted several years, down to last squirt now.It may be a bit more expensive than some others but its worth it, especially as I had mine at least 3 years without it deteriorating. It is subtle but effective and easy to use. I'm off to buy another. I have tried others in the past, but none as good as this in my opinion. Highly recommended if you want a subtle glow. If you wanted a really dark tan, may be not for you. ...
