After being fed up of being pasty and white this summer due to lack of British sun... again! I decided to go down the fake tan route. I tried a few, then I saw L'oreal Self Tan Spray on offer in Boots so decided to give it a go!
I did the usual, exfoilating and moisturizing routine first then got ready to apply the tan. I thought that it would easier to do i a dry shower and I was right- it goes everywhere! It is easy to spray on, it comes out in a wet mist which you are meant to apply to your body evenly. The only thing is you have to hold it away from your body so that it doesn't get wet. I found that this meant it was hard to tell where you had already sprayed it. You don not have to rub it in or anything. It also has quite a nice smell. When I thought I was done I went to bed and hoped that I would wake up in the morning looking naturally bronzed!
I was wrong...... I woke up and the tan had rubbed off on my clothes, I probably noticed it more as I was wearing white though. I also noticed that although mostly I was nice and bronzed, it was streaky! Very streaky in fact. Not not I wanted! It took a good few showers over a couple of days to get rid of it. Which I guess if it works well on you could be a good thing as it seems to last a while!!
Overall, I have used better products, mainly gradual tanning lotions, but if you manage to apply it properly it would be great! I have been meaning to have another go but am too scared of ending up streaky again!!!
