Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

This has been the first self-tanning moisturiser I have used. I bought it after seeing it in a magazine, where it came out top in a consumer test for self-tan moisturisers. In general I trust the "Johnson's" brand as it is well established and I have never had any problems with it before. My skintype I have normal skin, and can usually get away with washing it twice a day with a mild face soap. If my skin is ever going to go one way or the other ...
...I have never suffered from acne, but suffer from blocked pores and blackheads. I don't suffer from wrinkles (yet!), and I usually apply my moisturiser before foundation. I have quite a dark complexion. What I look for in a moisturiser I do not have any allergies or sensitive skin. My usual moisturiser is Oil of Olay. When I buy a moisturiser, I want: - To be able to apply it easily first thing in the morning and last thing at night - For it to ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser What it does: A conventional cheaper moisturiser (ie not one of those which promises to remove/prevent wrinkles etc) which also slowly builds up over a few days to a tanned face, after which you can adjust usage accordingly so as not to get too orange. It is supposed to be subtle. Mine is for normal/combination skin - this implies there may be other versions but this is all I've found. How much? I ...
...it in other high street chemists. Manufacturer: Johnson & Johnson, the baby lotion people. Made in Greece. Packaging: Standing plastic tube with "lid" on bottom ie not in bottle format as one pictured here (a bigger version?), within thin cardboard box Tube is a somewhat bilious yellow. Ingredients: I presume their usual basic facial moisturiser, plus small amount of self-tan chemicals. Ingredients are not listed on the tube - however, how would ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

...not to touch anything! Johnson's were first to market with their range, so I very trustingly indulged in a face & body lotion/ moisturiser. The face moisturiser from Boots and is available in 2 varieties - Normal/ Dry or Normal/ Combination & costs £5.99 although at the moment on offer at £4.99. So I gave it a go one morning. The box is very small & the bottle slender, so handy to fit in make-up bag/ travel bag. You don't need to put on alot...I ...
...the Tango police! The bottle is slightly squeezy and has a small opening so it doesn't all come out at once and is easy to control. It smelt pleasant & fresh. I did my best to evenly apply it using upwards strokes (ive heard this is the way to go). It didn't take long to work into my skin & I made sure it was rubbed in properly as ive heard if you don't do this it could go streaky. About half way into my working day I thought I could smell something ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

I purchased these products as a twin pack on special offer at £5. I had seen and heard all about it on tv. I bought it as i am not easily tanned and do not like to go onto sunbeds. I have always used johnsons products so assumed that it would be generally good. I was wrong, I read all of the directions about what to do before applying this product e.g exfoliate and so on, So i did twice over to make sure there was no dry skin. I applyed this product ...
...how it is going to turn out, It soaks in quite quickly so you think that you need to apply more incase you missed a bit. I done it all and let it dry went to bed and in the morning the first time of using this product i looked rather yellow, not a tan colour that i would like. I also had a few patches were it was darker then others this was obviously due to not knowing how even you are putting it on. I expected this to happen if i did not exfoliate ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

I've been a fan of Johnsons products for years, I have sensitive skin so their gentle products are usually a must have. In additon to this I'm a tan lover (it makes a girl feel better about herself) and I already own and love the holiday skin body lotion so I din't exactly need my arm twisting to purchase this, more along the lines of as soon as it came out I purchased it. The bottle is 50ml and is bright yellow, it has a screw on top and is more ...
...opposed to the one in the picture. Now onto the experience. I personally think the smell is awful I've heard other people say it's not that bad but anything smelling that much of chemicals just doesn't fit right with me. I applied it before I slept and was filled with naive hope that I would soon have such golden glowing skin that I would never need any sort of facial cosmetic again, how wrong was I. It soaks in so quickly I had to use quite a ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

I tried this first in spring 2006 along with the corresponding body lotion. (There is another review on that in the appropriate section.) Unlike the body lotion, it doesn't come in two colour intensities. Instead there is one for dry/normal skin, another one for normal/combination skin. It is available in 25ml tubes that are sold in cardboard boxes. The packaging is in the same pale yellow as the body lotions.The recommended price is £5.99, but ...
...Though the amount is small, it last quite long. You don't need to use a lot at a time. I expected the result might be rather less intense than I would like because it isn't available for darker skin. So I would either visit the sun bed or use regular concentrated tanning gel on my face, and use this on the days in between. Even so, I found the results disappointing, which is a strange discrepancy as the body lotion is very good. I tried the type ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

First of all i am a big fan of fake tan and do use it regular to keep me looking.............healthy. In the past ive used St Tropez but thought id try something different and cheaper. I started using the body lotion first which i find is great and there are always offers on it as well. Goes on great and you only have to use it every other day for a natural look. I purchased the face one from my supermarket and it cost £5.99. At first i thought ...
...a long way. I use it every 3 days i do find thats enough for me and it does moisturise well too. I used the normal/combination skin type one and i find the colour fine on me, i am quite freckly with dark hair and it looks a natural colour not too yellow. You do get the smell like fake tan after a while from it but dont all of them? ive never found a tan yet thats any good and smells of roses! the smell does dissapear anyway so its all good. The ...

Up pops the woman on the tv blah blah your skin never looks as good as it is on holiday first off erm pardon?? cheeky moose my skin looks lovely at home ! So after the insult, off we go, moisturize and tan your face at the same time. All well and good but erm what about your neck, shoulders, and other bits? Its wacko jacko in reverse!!!!! HELP! Anyway, my mate buys me a bottle ' thought you would like it ' ( reminder not to get a xmas present, ...
...is my lovely reply :P So, when in Rome and all that, every night for about 2 weeks I put it on. It took this long for anyone to remark on the change in colour, unfortunately it was only this long until a lad now devoid of his voicebox ( i wish) asked why my face was a totally different colour to the rest of me. Trying to sound posh, I said I had been skiing and had everything else covered up, however once the snorts of laughter ( someone must have ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

I like this product! As someone who has VERY fair skin, I need something natural that blends well to your skin tone. This moisturiser does that. Yes, it is subtle, but it works. I noticed a difference. A major plus for me is usually with self-tan products they clog up your pores and this leads to spots. I tend to use self-tan every day as my skin is so pale. This moisturiser has not caused me to have any spots and I can even use in the morning & at night without the risk of spots. I have not noticed any bad smell from the product. ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

...the wonderful silkiness of the johnson's moisturiser leaving you feeling fresh and smelling really nice,unlike some tanners ,leaves some awfull stenches,but not with johnsons,in fact ive been asked what purfume i got on when i havent got any on. This tanner only gradualy builds a tan,it comes in two tones, light / fair and med / dark . Ive started using the darker one now even thou i am fair skinned because you can apply it 3 times a day but it ...
...allows it. So i noticed with the light / fair one,i could only slap it on twice and after that its a waste. So if you want a slighly darker tan then use the darker one but only apply it once. Hint: make sure to exfoliate before using johnsons even if it is only light as it will still streak. Wash your hands after use. Because of the moisturiser, i noticed that i stuck to my bedsheets too lol. Do not do your face in this tanner as it will streak ...

Review of Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser

Previously I had looked at buying the facial moisturiser but at the time i thought it was a bit expensive. Recently i saw it for sale in our local Wilkinson store for 99p for 50ml. I have skin that just never tans on my face so i thought i'd give it a try. Downside is the smell it smells just a little chemical like. It feels good when it goes on and for the first time my husband thinks i have started using face make-up, where as in fact i have stopped ...
...and am happy with the results. I bought the wrong one at first (for combination skin) i found this needed extra moisturiser on top of it. I am now using the normal to dry skin version and although the smell is the same the results are much better. I have just been back to the store to stock up on a few more tubes while they are still available.A tube lasts me about 4 weeks and I just use it once every morning and for me it works really well.. ...

Johnson's has let me down - big time!! The only thing that is good about this product is that it's cheap. Overall i cannot stand it. It makes my skin really greasy and doesn't build up a tan on me at all. ...
