I have used every self-tanning lotion/spray/oil/gel/foam going, from St.Tropez to Rimmel, and always come back to Loreal Sublime Spray. I am a tan-a-holic, and cannot stand to be seen with white bits, as I think that a tan is the ultimate accessory a girl can have. Let's face it, women do look better brown. (Unless of course your'e the porcelain china doll type!) The only thing, is that I'm at work all day long, 5 days a week, and no longer want to use sunbeds (My friend has got skin cancer through them at 29.) so I have to resort to the tan in a bottle! Believe me, in my experimental trials to find the perfect tan, I've turned orange, dyed my arm hairs brown, and looked like I needed a thorough wash, all for vanity's sake!(Was it really worth it I ask myself?) Loreal Sublime Spray, is most definitely the best self tanning product I have come across. It is very easy to apply, dries quickly(Although it does leave a slightly greasy residue) and you can feel that it moisturises at the same time. The one thing I will say is that no matter how many times you wash your hands during the application process, you will still get a small amount of the 'Orange-Palm syndrome', so it is best to use gloves. It is slightly tricky to apply to the back area, as the nozzle can become quite stiff, but I'm sure there is somebody who could aid you in this process! Loreal Sublime is so versatile that I use it on my face and neck, both with a tan-tastic(!) result. The smell is not overly pleasant(Resembles hairspray!) but it serves it's purpose. It does fade quite quickly, and needs reapplying but at £6.49 a bottle(The cheapest I've found in Morrison's.) it's not too much of a cash drain. I would thoroughly reccommend this product, particularly to the less experienced self-tanners, as it is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of maintenance.

This sounds good. I've just come back from holiday and I'm looking for products to maintain the tan, using Boots Soltan at the moment but I've nearly used it all up so I might give this a go. x

This sounds like a good one, I'm just starting to get into the whole fake tan thing and am currently trying out different brands. I'll be sure to look out for this. Cheers. Chris x
