Clarins Sun Care Cream Gel Advanced Tanning SPF 6 (For Tanned Skin)

Advantages: Easy to apply, effective and realistic
Disadvantages: NONE

...This is by far the best fake tanning product on the market. It is easy to apply, absorbs easily and does not have a potent smell that comes with many of the fake tan products. Well, it smells a bit but is definitely manageable with some perfume unlike others i could mention. I have had no problems with streaking of orangess, although i think that that is largely to do with the way you apply it rather than the actual product. Watch out for the brown palms though, make sure each arm or elg you do, you wash off and start again. The tan lasts for around a week and its deepness depends largely on your skin tone at the time of application and the number of applications you do The beuty of this product is that it also comes with various SPF factors to use in the sun, whcih adds a real kick to your skin tone after a few hours in the sun....

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... Read review

Advantages: Second to none protection
Disadvantages: None

...sunbather alike. This is becasue they have such a wide variety of skin care products, from Total sunblock, right through to tanning oils. ***Tip*** Always put your cream on 15 minutes before going out into the sun. It allows your body to absorb the cream better and offer a better protection. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is your guide to choosing your cream. The way it is determined by how many times longer you can stay in the sun without burning. If your skin will tolerate 5 mins in the sun before it burns, a product that lets you stay in the sun for 50 minutes has a SPF of 10. So Factor 10 cream allows you to stay in the sun for 50 mins instead of 5. This goes up to SPF 35 for total sunblock and as low as 2 for oils. With Babies and small children, it is imperitive that their skin is protected at all times and should not be in the sun... Read review
