~~Trying it out ~~
As i have already tested the Garnier Summer Body product on my legs i have used this one on my arms. I like the fact it's a pump action as it gives you a nice controlled amount of the cream. It comes out white and is fairly light, it's not a runny product like i thought it would be with it saying 'milk' on the bottle, it's a cream consistency.
It spreads very well and melts in and dries very quickly. I was able to get dressed again after only a couple of minutes. The smell is very pleasent although hard to think of something to describe the smell as so i'd just go with a summery smell.
It also leaves the skin feeling very soft and moisturised.
It says on the bottle the tan stats to appear within 1 hour but it took longer with me and appeared gradually over 2 to 3 hours. I did this in the evening so left it until the next morning to check out the results.
~~ Results ~~
By the next morning you could definitely see a difference on my arms. Although it had gone quite patchy round my elbows it had covered very evenly and streak free on the tops of my arms and i was very impressed. It also hadn't left any nasty smells, the smell you get when you apply is what you'll be left with all day which is nice and bearable. I have had to do a second application to even it out more round my elbows but after just 2 applications my arms are the same colour as my legs which took about 5 days to get the colour i wanted using the Garnier Summer Body.
So if you wanted a quick glow for an evening out then this would definitely be worth getting, just apply a couple of days before your off to give you time for a second application if needed. The other good thing is if you used this early enough in the morning and it went patchy you can still re-apply to even it out on the same day as it doesnt take too long to start appearing.
It recommends using this 2-3 times a week once you have your desired colour to maintain it.
You can get more information about the product from the L'oreal website; www.lorealparis.co.uk
Advantages: No long lasting damage Disadvantages: you can't tell where you've put it
We all know about the harmful effects of the sun's damaging rays on our delicate skin. For those who need reminding, the sun has damaging effects on our skin. The sun's rays contains UVA rays which are capable of penetrating deep into the lower layers of the skin and they cause signs of premature ageing. Even when the sun isn't shining the rays are still there.
The rays also contain UVB rays which are the ones that can burn your skin if you don ... ...can lead to skin cancer.
But we all want a "healthy" looking tan so we don't look pale and ill. The fact is that a tan isn't healthy. It's the mark that the sun has damaged your skin. So to get a golden tan use a fake tan which has no long lasting damaging effects and looks just as good if you choose the right one. The right one for me has been L'Oreal's Sublime Bronze range.
The Sublime range is a range of tanning products that can be used on ...

Advantages: There’s no smell, actually rubs in easily Disadvantages: I didn’t get the Tan I desired
It took me a while to pluck up the courage and finally go for a fake tan,
I had so many memories of people turning orange that I never dared.
I read opinions and shopped around and sublime bronze tanning milk was rated good, not the best but Sufficient.
So, I rushed out in the beginning of summer to purchase it.
L’oreal claim, I Quote “Sublime bronze is a self tanning milk, with a smoothing affect, which has been specifically developed to give ... ...thought, so I went ahead and followed the rules on fake tanning, Which are; exfoliate and moisturise
I then followed the instructions;-
Apply evenly to the skin – I rubbed the lotion all over and it was very easy to do, I even managed to do my back.
Wash your hands thoroughly
They don’t explain how long to leave to dry, but I found it dried in about 15 min, L’oeal claim the tan appears by the first hour, I didn’t see results ...

Advantages: good even tan Disadvantages: bottle is too small!
I normally use a gradual self tan but when I wanted a tan more quickly I decided to buy this product. The first time that I used this I exfoliated and moisturised the day before applying it and the tan was streak free as promised although around my underarms there was some collection of colour but it was not very noticeable - I always now make sure that I rub the lotion in carefully in that area. Overall I was very pleased with the result that this ... ...often, I would say that it is user friendly. There were no streaks and it was a nice golden colour. The tan did not last very long but now if I wanted it to be longer I would simply apply another 'coat'. My skin was also left feeling very soft. In subsequent uses I have not bothered to exfoliate and have just put it on - I know that this is a cardinal sin in the world of fake tan but it actually didn't seem to make much difference to the outcome. ...

The next morning i noticed a bit of colour but no much so i applied some more and the next day just a little darker. Im going to carry on applying the cream until i get the tan i desire. Although i ...

Advantages: NATURAL LOOKING COLOR Disadvantages: COLOR FADES AWAY AFTER 2-3 DAYS
I've been addicted to sunbeds for months....silly me!! Of course I wasn't aware of the permanent damages I was inflicting to my own skin! When I finally realized I gave up on dangerous sunbeds and tried self tanning products instead. I believe I tried them ALL, sometimes paying ridicoulous amount of money....so far Sublime Bronze is the best. The spray is so easy to apply and the result is really natural, the day after the application everyone at ... ...I look (I told them it's down to the italian food I eat) so I couldn't be more satisied ! I must say though that my skin is quite dark and I'm sure the result depends a lot on the natural skin colour .After using scrub (I use sea salt, it works! ) and moisturizer I apply Sublime Bronze Spray and I make sure I PUT EXTRA MOISTURIZER ON ANKLES AND WRISTS to avoid ugly marks and then go to bed. When I wake up in the morning I'm tanned! Miracle! Yes, ...
