Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

This self-tanning lotion by Boots No7 has restored my faith in faking it! About five years ago I tried a self-tanning lotion (can't remember who it was made by) which left me orange, streaky and smelly; since then I've been terrified of self-tan and always insisted that it just didn't work for me. Also, I usually go abroad every year and my tan lasts for ages (luckily!) so I decided that I didn't need to fake it, despite it being the healthier option. ...
...I went to my local Boots store and browsed the self-tanning products available. There was a much greater choice than the last time I had tried self-tan and this reassured me a little - after all, who knows what advances could have been made in five years? I decided to try No7 Quick Dry Tinted Lotion because I trust Boots No7 and it was in the middle of the price range (£10.50 for 200ml). When I used this product for the first time I found it very ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

...However, one good thing about Boots is that they do a lot of 2 for 1 deals, especially on sun care products and I have seen this on offer a few times. Certainly not the most expensive self tanner on the market, as you'll see from my conclusion, for the money it is excellent value. **THE LOTION** This is tinted lotion, the idea being that you can see where it has been applied. Handy for avoiding patches where it's obvious you've been faking it. The ...
...lasts for 12 hours as Boots claim. Unlike some brands, there doesn't appear to be any UVA/UVB protection in the tanning lotion. The bottle label is a bit misleading in a way in that it explains the lotion helps protect against UV-skin induced damage, but it means because you are using self tan rather than frying yourself under harmful rays. They do spell it out at the bottom of the bottle- the product is not designed for sunbathing. Dermatologically ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

...on better. I used a Boots Soltan Self Tan Mitt to apply it, which I also found in my box of stuff, and is basically just a glove to apply fake tan with (I'll review it if Dooyoo accept the suggestion!). When I pressed the pump down, the first thing I realised is that only a tiny bit of the lotion comes out at once. This means I had to press it down several times to get enough lotion onto the mitt, which was a bit of a pain. I was surprised that ...
...It actually smells quite nice (for a fake tan, anyway), and is quite floral. It's tinted brown in colour, the idea being that you can see where you are applying it. Unfortunately as soon as you start to rub it in the colour all but disappears, so you still don't get a clear idea of where you're applying it. ~Results~ The lotion is described as quick-dry and it did seem to dry pretty quickly, although I cannot be certain of timescales, I would suggest ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

...experiment. On testing out Boots No 7 Quick Drying Sunless Tanning Lotion (medium/dark) I was pleasantly surprised . Boots No 7 have taken the guesswork out of the application. For me a major benefit of this product was the fact that the lotion was already tinted, therefore you can see instantly where you have applied it. This means that, right away I had an idea of what the finished shade would look like. So no more shocks and surprises. However ...
...to allergic reactions Boots No 7 Quick Drying Sunless Tanning Lotion is Hypo-Allergic, which for me was an added bonus. Now I can arrive at our holiday destination with a natural looking glowing tan. One word of warning however Boots No 7 Quick Drying Sunless Tanning Lotion will not protect you from sunburn. It is essential therefore to use a good quality sunscreen in order to protect yourself from the potentially harmful UV rays of the sun. Its ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

Ladies, I have found yet another excellent self tanning lotion that you must try. There really is no excuse for white pasty skin any more! This self tan is from the No.7 range and it's priced at £9.50 for 200ml which I think is a reasonable price. It's a special fake tan because it is tinted so when you apply the fake tank you can see where you have applied it and where you have missed. It comes in a yellow box and it states that it contains jojoba ...
...and nourish skin. It also says that it is Hypoallergenic and non pore blocking which is the general rule about N0.7 products. You can use this on your face or body so no need to buy a separate one. I choose the fair/medium type but if you have darker skin or want a darker tan then choose the medium/dark colour. The fake tan looks a dull orange when you apply it, but don't worry as this isn't the colour that your legs will become, it's just the ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

...market, I came across the Boots No 7 Quick Dry Self-Tan lotion some time ago, and fell in love straight away! The lotion is smooth and non-greasy, and rubs in easily. It is absorbed quite quickly, and makes your skin really smooth and silky - not all oily like some other tanning products. Although it gives an instant hint of colour, the real tan doesn't start developing for a few hours. Personally, I think it is best when put on for bed - the next ...
...looking out for offers in-store. Boots often have vouchers for £5 off the No 7 range, which is an instant money-saver. There are also often 3 for 2 offers on the No 7 products, or free gifts if you spend more than £x. On top of that, you are at least earning points on your Advantage card, which will allow you to treat yourself in future! Definitely money well spent - a great product for an all-year-round gorgeous glow. Love it! ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

...had a £5 voucher for boots and I was due to go on a girlie night out. So after much perusal I saw this and the lady on the beauty counter came over and told me which colour was right for me which helped as i would have just picked the first one up. It cost me just £7.50 for 200ml and comes in a yellow box the container is quite sturdy but allows you to squeeze it a little quite helpful in mid flow. It is quite useful to exfoliate before hand. ...
...so you can see where it has gone, but this will wash off after 2 hours, then the tan will develop and will gradually wear off after a few days. But the next time I applied it after a week I went an even darker colour which was brill as I looked like I had been away for a fortnight everyone at work thought it was brilliant. This product is a must, no harmful sunbeds, dries in 5 to 10 mins then you can get dressed. It is hypo-allergenic and my hubby ...

Review of Boots No.7 Quick Dry Self Tan Lotion

OK, so I am not good with fake tan at all, I am always getting streaks and missing bits and it always looks awful! That was until I bought the No 7 Quick Dry Tinted Lotion. I find that the tint makes it so much easier to apply it helps me make sure it is applied everywhere and avoids streaks. I find that the lotion does dry quickly and leaves my skin feeling really soft and silky. However, it does stain, I have a few towels that now have brown tan ...
