Being very fair skinned I have learnt to deal with this through extensive fake tanning and staying clear of sunbeds. I have tried many tans and although I am fair skinned I do tend to go for fake tans which are for darker skins as I am not a fan of the 'sunkissed' look.. I want full blown BRONZE!
Obviously what attracted me to this product was that it states it is 'xtreme' tanning gel. This made me think that one application would be enough to turn me to the shade of bronze I usually only get from two applications of your average tanning gel.
The process: Can be summed up in one word... messy. Using rubber gloves I found made it even more difficult to rub the gel in as it made it dry even quicker. The gel dried so quick that it was impossible to get an even coverage on the skin as you just ended up rubbing it off. After leaving it on for several hours I then went to bed. I am used to some colour transfer onto the sheets but there was a lot that rubbed off.
The result: I was very disappointed with the results, being a pale person I expected myself to be ridiculously tanned but it made little difference. I would not recommend this product as I do not feel it is value for money (I got it for £20) and I feel that much cheaper own brand fake tans from high street stores give a lot better results.
