Tan in a Flash
Advantages: Good even tan, (if applied evenly!). Disadvantages: Cost
Now, if you have read my some of my travel opinions you will be well aware that I like to travel. I am therefore always on the look out for a decent self-tan as I do not like to use sun beds. I recently saw on the net, an advert for Lancôme’s website so with the lure of a free sample or two I went to investigate. Surprise, surprise a free 5mls sample of Lancôme New Soleil Flash Bronzer Face Cream (golden) was being offered. I hate looking pale and ... ...I have very pale skin. I just had to have one. Well the sample was free!
I filled in the registration form and waited for the postman to arrive. Within a couple of days my free sample dropped on to the doormat and I hurried up to the bathroom to try it on my face. (Well as fast as I could on crutches).

I hate looking pale and pasty, so this sample was put to good use, as I have very pale skin. I just had to have one. Well the sample was free!

**How to Use**
1) The lotion is easy to apply to the face.
2) It goes on evenly, without those heavy lines that some self-tanners leave.
3) It dries easily and acts quickly. (By quickly, I mean that the tanning effects are noticeable on the skin within an hour and it is quite natural too).
A radiant glow is the order of the day. The Soleil Flash Bronzer, contains hydrating agents along with pure Vitamin E to help to ‘preserve skins beauty’ according to Lancôme. The skin gets a mild, sun-kissed glow effect after using this product. One word of warning this range of products does NOT contain Sun Protection Factor.
**Other Products in the Soleil Range**
*Flash Bronzer Face Gel* Flash Bronzer Leg Gel: Instant-tinting pigments Self-tanning Face and Body Milk
*Self-tanning Magic Mousse* Self-tanning Spray Tinted Self-tanning Face Cream: Instant Golden Glow (light finish) Instant Bronze Glow (dark finish)
**Cost**
This is product is not cheapest self tanning product on the market and not altogether the best either. A 50mls bottle costs around £20.00 from my local beauty salon and comes in golden and bronze. They are available in Debenhams, John Lewis, Selfridges and many beauty salons.
I have invested in a bottle, as I am not sure what the British weather will have in store this summer, so at least I will not look pasty white, however if you sell a stripy woman on crutches, say hello as it is probably me! The sample has lasted on my skin for a good ten days, but it does not really beat the real thing. (That reminds me I am have a month in Tenerife in April. Now then I will get the real tan).
NB Remember to wash hand after application of Lancôme New Soleil Flash Bronzer Face Cream, that is unless you want golden palms too!

Review of Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel
Advantages: Gives a natural glow with no effort & value for money Disadvantages: Expensive but value for money
I have been using Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel for a couple of years now and wouldn't be without it.
I have tried nearly every other self tanning product for the face and this has to be the best.
It is easy and quick to use. I tend to put some on in the morning after I have washed my face and before I apply any make up. It is a light gel and doesn't clog your pores particularly if you are prone to oily skin.
I put 2-3 squirts ... ...then rub into my cheeks, blending over the rest my face outwards. Ensure to rub a little lightly over your noise and forehead and go right up to your hair line as these places tend to show the tan up more.
The tan gradually develops over the morning and is very subtle. It gives a very natural looking glow.
If you want to enhance the tan, just keep applying it more often to build it up.
Unlike other face tans, the colour is a sun kissed look and ...
