As a redhead, I don't tan easily, so have been using self-tanning products for over five years. During this time, I have tried several brands and products but Clinique has quickly become my favourite.
COLOUR Firstly and most importantly, the colour is very natural. After several hours (not the one to two quoted by Clinique) the tan develops into a warm golden colour.
APPLICATION This product is dispensed in a spray of clear liquid - as thin as water. It is significantly easier to apply than most of the creams and lotions and the spray works upside down (handy for backs of legs!)
The best thing about the body mist is the time it takes to dry. This is one of only a few products that dries within 15-30 minutes (others still feel clammy after 30-60 minutes, which can be inconvenient).
SMELL Although it isn't the most pleasant of scents, it is fairly inoffensive. Difficult to describe, but reminiscent of citrus fruits.
PRICE The price for Clinique Self TanningBody Mist is apx £12. Always worth buying in Duty Free when it drops to apx £9.
I have tried the tanning lotion but still come back to the spray each time. It works well on all areas of the body - I also use it on my face - and if you exfoliate properly, the product will last 3-4 days before it starts to fade.

I've not experienced an 'orange' glow - especially with my hair colour! Several friends of mine found it hard to believe it wasn't entirely natural.

This sounds good, it doesn't have any hint of orange in it though, does it?
