Advantages: nice golden shimmer, no streaks
Disadvantages: not exactly what you'd call "long-lasting", takes some time to absorb

...then Loreal's Nutrisummer can help you get a little closer to that gorgeous tan you had... :-) Living in England doesn't really help with that all-year-round tan and since neither my Mum nor my Dad are Spanish I do need to worry about my complexion. I've tried a few things before - including Johnson & Johnson's "holiday skin" which ended up in a bin - but was never really happy with the result. When I visited a friend she told me about that ...

Advantages: Streak free, non-orange
Disadvantages: The smell

I started using L'Oreal Nutrisummer after seeing a magazine advert with Scarlet Johanssen in Cosmo. I'm an advertisers dream! Previous to that I had tried numerous fake tanners and body lotions with a hint of fake tan (Boots no 17, Piz Buin, St Tropez, Johnsons Holiday Skin), but none did the trick - leaving me either streaky or orange. In my opinion, Nutrisummer surpasses them all. After having a shower, I just apply as I would normal body lotion ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply, good offers for price
Disadvantages: Comes off after a long soak in bath

This year (2007) was actually the first time i used this produect.I've never yet used a self tanning lotion or anything similar before using this so i didn't quite know what to expect. I found it easy to apply, just squeeze the tube and out it comes. I placed various blobs over my skin on my legs and then rubbed it in, as you would do with foundation lets say. There wasn't a noticiable difference immediatley but after a few days my legs did look ... Read review

Advantages: smells gorge, isn't greasy, not streaky
Disadvantages: bit pricey and doesn't last too long

As a self-tan-aholic, i've tried out more products than most, and this one is in my favourites. I'm not normally a Loreal person, due to the fact i get allergies to most of it, but i thought i may as well give it a go. On analysing it i found out that: " smells gorgey " is not greasy and soaks in well " no streaks in sight BUT, it doesn't last too long without going a bit blotchy, it does appear quickly, day 1 is almost as dark as day 3 and ...

Advantages: Nice soft tan, smooth silky skin.
Disadvantages: Slightly tacky feeling left on skin if not rubbed in well.

Coal fires, propping legs up on the hearth - made me nice and toasty at the time, but i did not realise that it would make my legs the bane of my life forever after. Blotchy in the cold, dry skin, no tanning properties - all the things you can well do without later in life. So, the only thing to do is use false tanning products, on which by now it seems I am an expert as I will try anything once. Failure after dismal failure ensued until I tried Nutrisummer. ...

Advantages: streak free tan
Disadvantages: watch you dont get yellow nails

Decided i had to write about this product after seeing some recent photos of myself. I know summer is well and truly over but i still like to have a hint of tan (makes me look healthier, less like a ghost) well after seeing these photos i know i am definetly using the right product. Loreal Nutrisummer costs around £6.99 but can vary you can often buy it on offer for 200ml, you can get it in two different shades ine for fair skin and one for medium ... Read review

Advantages: smells lovely, strong natural colour
Disadvantages: different product for face

when i first saw this advertised, i thought it was too good to be true. My past experiences of fake tan included streaks, bright orange elbows and knees, a smudged hairline and horrible smells! Therefore, i was pleased to discover a moisturiser with a gradual tanning component. I purchased the nutrishimmer off the Boots online shop, with an offer of two bottles for the price of one, and opted for the 'fair skin' moisturiser. The product comes in ... Read review

Advantages: easy to apply and easily absorbed
Disadvantages: fades quickly and strong smell

I have never been a lover of self tanning products as I usually find them too orangey for my skin and am rubbish at applying them and finish up with streaky legs and yellow palms!! I liked the sound of this product as it sounded less intense than a tanning product and more of a moisturiser. I also liked the fact that it was on offer in Sainsburys and I only paid £3.99!! It has a lovely texture and is absorbed very quickly although it does smell a ... Read review
