Clarins Self Tanning Milk with Sun Protection

Although I love the summer and look forward to the balmy sunny days, I am not one for sunbathing for long periods unless on holiday. I normally spend my days in the sun either gardening, playing with the kids or generally mooching about on long walks or bike rides, so by the time it comes for our annual trip abroad I seem to have the pale and interesting look and not the sun bronzed appearance I would so much like to have without having to be a sun worshipper. A few weeks ago saw a little white envelope landing on my doormat and inside was a wedding invitation to some good friends of ours and ... more

I first tried this product last year. I was about to go on holiday and like many other people you don’t want to go looking like you have just had the fright of your life. The girl at the Clarins counter, suggested that I might like to try this product. Seeing as I am always ready to try new things, I said to her “I will take one” The box is mainly a bright orange/gold colour. At the top is the Clarins Paris logo. Followed by Lait Auto-Bronzant. Then you see a sun with SPF 6 in the middle. For those who speak English there is the description of Self Tanning Milk with Sun Protection clearly ... more

I first tried it when my mum came home with a bottle. It was in a garish yellow box - perhaps not the best colour to inspire confidence when selecting a fake tan. Clarins obviously agreed as they have now changed the packaging to a more appropriate milk-chocolate brown colour. But anyway, that evening I exfoliated and moisturised my face (I read somewhere to skip the toning stage). The product comes out more like a cream consistency rather than milk, but I think that makes it easier to apply. I squeezed out a decent blob of it into my palm before applying it in sections to my face and neck. I ... more

Like many, I have always been nervous about looking like a walking orange streak so have never considered using fake tan. However, I got married last month and didn't want to look pale and sickly in my ivory dress. I am a red head with fair freckly skin so needed some colour to complement the dress. I had heard good reports about Clarins Self-tanning milk so I gave it a whirl....... and was extemely pleased with the result. Rather than give you a definite brown tan, the milk seems to give you a healthy glow. It isn't until you compare bits you haven't applied the milk to that you see a slight ... more

This product was first recommended to me by my dad's boss's wife a few years ago. She only used it on her face but it can be used all over the body. The tube won't last long but you'll be pleased with the results! It comes in a box with a leaflet telling you all about the product. The tube is orange in colour bearing the Clarins Paris logo at the top and a pretty golden sun in the centre telling you it has an SPF of 6. This means that while you are waiting for the tan to develop, you are still somewhat protected from the sun's rays. However, if you are fair skinned I suggest you use a higher ... more
