...me and I opted for Garnier Ambre Solaire Light No Streaks Bronzer Self-Tanning Spray. It said that it would give me a natural light-looking tan from the first application. That was enough for me so I popped it in my basket. In addition i also purchased rubber gloves the latex variety the reason for which will be revealed later. This item cost £8.99 for a 125ml can. I remember thinking at the time that this was rather expensive however, Garnier is ... ...the product and sports the Garnier logo. It also states that this is the lighter tan version. The back of the can gives you all the relevant information about how to use, how it works, product ingredients, storage instructions and product warnings.

I was told prior ...

Advantages: easy to use, excellent colour, lasting, quick drying Disadvantages: body mist can be patchy on legs
I'm new to Ciao, and I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to work out how to add pictures to this review. The reason being is that I really wanted to show readers of this review the before and after of this product. However - I think maybe because im a newbie Im not allowed to post pictures (Im not sure if im correct in this!) so I'll try and explain how fantastic this stuff is instead! So Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer - I have both the dry face ... ...I have an olive complexion so I always go for the Normal to dark skin one, but as someone has mentioned before, being overenthusiastic with the spray does lead to a darker tan, so I guess using the fair to normal one is probably best for first time users!
**DRY FACE MIST**
Now this is really amazing. I've used several types of tan lotions and potions in the past, and as most people will agree, it either doesn't work, you get a streaky effect or ...

Intro
------
As I am approaching 30, I don't really have the desire to venture out to the pubs and clubs anymore but ........ as the mother of a 6 month old baby I felt I deserved to let my hair down, so when my friend invited me out for her birthday I jumped at the chance. My first problem was that I was now 2 dress sizes smaller than before I'd had my daughter so I headed straight to the shops to look for an outfit! I was very pleased with my ... ...There was just one thing bothering me - I was as pale as snow! My mother-in-law is always telling me so (thank you - heaps!!!!!!!!) and being one that takes comments to heart I thought I would do something about it and I walked into Boots to select a self tan!
The chosen product

In the past I have had real disasters with self tanning products. Streaks and orange hands are never a good look! No matter how much I exfoliate ...

Advantages: Works for me Disadvantages: A little pricey try buy if on offer
I have been married for almost 10 years and I have recently started faking it. The thing is my husband doesn't seem to mind..it is only once a week or there abouts, and it gives me a healthy glow..you did know I was talking about fake tan sprays didn't you Lol?!

It did the trick and I had a nice tan but I could tell my skin had been damaged and it just wasn't for me. I have tried lots of different fake tans over the years - lotions, mousses, sprays, and tan towels and have always been a bit disappointed..till now?

Advantages: NO STREAKS!!! + super easy and quick to apply! Disadvantages: tan is quite light so needs a couple of layers to build a nice colour
This week I was feeling a little down about my appearance and decided on a fake tan pick me up! I've used lots of different kind of fake tans before and was going to try fake bake or st tropez this time but with times being hard finance wise I decided on Ambre Solaire £8 for the body one and £6 for the face. I am very pale and so went for the 'light' version. Before starting I exfoliated and moisturised well, then applied the tan. I applied as stated ... ...in regular motions and didn't rub in. It's very easy to apply, it sprays at every angle and took less than 5 minutes to apply. The scent of the tan is quite pleasant at first and not as chemical smelling as some of the others. Although this does give way to the usual fake tan smell as the night goes on!! I really didn't feel the need to rub it in as it dried as soon as it touched my skin! It does say on the can that it takes 3 hours to develop but ...

Advantages: Good gradual colour, easy to apply... Disadvantages: Smell, frequency of usage...
I bought this product after a couple of disastrous results from tan wipes and mousses. To me, it seemed a good mid-range product that offered what i wanted - an easy application fake tan without streaks. So does it live up to its name.
Well, the product comes in a can and is a 'spray-on' product; although its more like a very fine mist. The idea is that you spray it on, spread it round evenly (as is possible) and then wait for it to develop. The ... ...realise how much you need (very little for a light golden colour) then its really quick. You pretty much just spray, spread and go! And don't forget of course to wash your hands!
I only used this product on my legs. So i don't know how it would fare elsewhere. I think if you wanted to do your back or parts of your arms you can't see (like your elbows) then you're best to get a friend to help or go to a beauty therapist. My greatest fear was that ...

Advantages: Easy access upside down Disadvantages: Still need another body for your back
...to saturate today’s market.
Garnier Ambre Solaire is yet another self-tanning product that sets out to provide you with a natural tan that no other tanning product can compete with.
-----The Bottle----
Right where to start, as with 99% of products relating to tanning it is sun orange in colour in a long cylindrical spray bottle which boasts to contain 125ml of the fake stuff, what makes this one stand out from the others is the spray nozzle, its ... ...enhance the product other than to make it look pretty you got me but it does distinguish it from the rest of the market.
The design is simple and basic with “Garnier Ambre Solaire” blazoned across it in large letters underneath it states that it’s a “No Streak Bronzer” (We will put the no streaks to the test later”
Also on the bottle it states it can be used upside down, but from a personal point of view, I do not see how standing upside down is ...

Then there is the trauma of trawling up and down the aisle trying to find a tan which wont leave my looking like an umpalumpa!

Even better about this is that it says it will spray in any angle and will leave with a natural looking tan with no streaks! I should have known this statement was one that was to good to be true!

Advantages: Can spray upside down Disadvantages: Scent wears off quickly
I had tried hundreds of self tanning products and few have come up to scratch. I, like many others, have pale skin and now that the sun is out, people are baring all. It was time my pasty white skin had a make over.
~:Price:~ The No - Streaks Bronzer was recommended to me by my friend who uses it religiously. I purchased mine at Boots for £8.99 where I also picked up some advantage card points!! I have only just purchased mine so with regards to ... ...~:Application:~
I was apprehensive at using the Bronzer at first as all the others I've tried have left horrible streak marks which will not shift for love nor money.
As I plucked up the courage to spray more chemicals onto my legs in an attempt to beautify myself, I was pleasantly surprised to find that you could spray upside down onto your legs, tanning those hard to reach places like backs of knees. Once sprayed, it was quickly absorbed and ...

Advantages: the parts that did tan tanned ok! the spray is easier to use than some others Disadvantages: streaky, takes ages to dry, smells a bit odd, disasterous!!
Summer is drawing near and I have become increasingly aware of my pale and pasty looking legs. After seeing the adverts for Garnier's Ambre Solaire no streaks bronzer I came to the conclusion that if the adverts said it was good then it must be! (how naïve I am!) I found myself in Boots in town and looked at the wide selection of fake tans. I spotted this one easily as it stood out from the others as the can was quite a dark bronze and the top of ... ...interesting than the others. I saw that the price was £8 but most of the fake tans on the shelves in boots were similar prices so I decided to give it a try. Fortunately boots was doing triple advantage points which helped get me a few extra points on my card which is always a nice bonus.
When I got home I couldn't wait to try the spray but I decided it was best to wait till everyone was in bed so I could walk round semi-naked while waiting for ...

Advantages: Easy to spray on Disadvantages: Difficult to spray even amounts on different parts of the body, SMELL, streaking, can't be used on face, difficult overall.
Let me give you some background info on me. I love being tanned, I go to Spain every single year and I love shopping for new clothes to go on holiday with and to show off my new tan. The one thing I dread about going on holiday is the first couple of days when I am positively glow for being so pale. Being a pure student, I can't really afford to go to salons and get a fake professionally. In the past, I had tried Calipso Tanning Mouse, but I found ... ...so when I saw this on offer for half price at the shops, I thought it would be fantastic. Using The Spray:
I started my exfoliating my skin thoroughly as the can recommends and started at my legs, working up my body. Essentially, the process was simple enough, spray and smoother over; however I personally found it quite difficult to judge whether I had sprayed the same amount onto the different sections of my body. One area of my body impossible ...

Advantages: I cant find any Disadvantages: You will end up the colour of the bottle
Ok, so I admit it, I was walking around town in the fog the other day, and I was overcome by my own vanity, and decided to add a little sunshine with some fake tan. It isn't something I've tried before, and after searching the shelves at Superdrug, I decided this one looked the best. I was a bit shocked at the price tag, £9.99, but decided it was cheaper than two weeks in Ibiza so bought it. When I got home, I read over the few instructions on the ... ...on there, so I made do with what I had, I decided to do a tester on my feet first, as they would be easier to cover up if it went wrong. Nothing seemed to happen, so I decided to bite the bullet and went to town on my arms and legs, deciding I would do my face if it turned out ok. Well this was about 8pm, and by 4am when I was getting into bed, still nothing. I woke up the following morning, having completely forgotten about it, and when I finally ...

MY QUEST FOR A NICE TAN
FIRST TRY
When I was younger and dafter you could say I use to use a sun bed. Well thankfully I have only probably been on one about 20 or so times. I would not dream of going on one now and definitely believe that they are not good for your health. When I did go on them the only thing that would get any colour was my tummy and ... ...TRUE SUCCESS
I now use Garnier Amber Solaire no streaks bronzer self-tanning spray. It is so easy to use. You do not have to exfoliate you just spray on like you do with deodorant and the spread with your hand. It comes in two shades light and a darker shade. As I have fair skin I use the light shade. It does not take a long time either to do.
When you first use you have to spray on every day until you achieve the depth of colour that you like ...
