Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...another product I purchased was Piz Buin Self Tan Lotion in Mid colour. I though that after all my exfoliating and smoothing it would be nice to also have lovely golden brown legs - even if everywhere else was lily white! The shelves in Boots were cram packed with sun tan lotions of every description, some instant, like the one from Piz Buin I purchased, some just for sun protection. I had read somewhere that Victoria Beckham favoured Piz Buin and ...
...a go. After all, Victoria always sports a lovely tan, if a bit dark sometimes. I exfoliated my legs thoroughly so the lotion would have a good base. In fact I scrubbed them so hard they were red at the end - instant colour! Then I smoothed on the self tan lotion carefully, taking extra care on bumpy bits such as my knees, ankles and feet. The lotion is coloured so that you can see where you are applying it. It said on the box that it would take ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...to let me use her Piz Buin mid self tan lotion, which she had purchased a couple of weeks earlier but never got round to using. 'Yippee!', I thought, I would use it that very evening! The Product. This product is a lotion squeezed from a tube and of a sloppy consistency. The packaging of this product is basically beige, orange and bland. My first impressions were that for the price (£11.99), it looked cheap and rather tacky. Briefly the box states ...
...for 200ml, in comparison, the Piz Buin one costs £11.99 for 150ml. Quite a difference in price and performance! So if you are a fair skinned lady, here is my advice on Piz Buin mid self tan lotion: AVOID THIS PRODUCT, DO NOT TOUCH IT EVER!!! N.B. I note that backstreet woman had a similar experience with this product. If only I had read her review before I went ahead and used it!(I have only been a member of Ciao for a few days). I have also informed ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...scar and those that dont. Piz buin is one that only tans it slightly so they don't blend in as well as other ones (will be doing an op soon on one that I have found that does tan them so look out for it if you do have scars to hide). It is because of this that I have only given it a good rating. As some extra info it is now some 6 days since first application and it says it lasts for a min of 7 days, I thought this would be the standard 2-3 great ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

I bought the Piz Buin ''summer sensation'' MAX self tan from boots for roughly £7 (I bought two as it seemed rather well priced for good quality self-tan) This is the one that comes in the brown box (150ml of self tan). I purchased the MAX version as I am so pale I didn't want a modest change in skin colour, I wanted a glowing tan for going on holiday. This certianly did work!! Although I did get made fun of slightly by my siblings for being a bit ...
...It says in the instructions it should last about a week but in my experience I'd say it lasts for about 5 days, getting slightly lighter each day. It takes 2 hours to dry which can be rather anoying (can't wash hands while your drying as this would remove it and need to wash off palms of hands after applying which is tricky in order to keep the water from washing the tan off from ontop of hands). I have had streaky arms and hands on many occassion ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...good long lasting colour! This piz buin tanner is easily my second choice however. I cannot afford to always get spray tans and so this is perfect for just day to day use. Having tried fake tans before I already know to only put on a fairly minimal amount, and when rubbing in do so in circular patterns - that way you don't get streaks, however much people may say you so. I buy the MAX tanner - the one in the brown box - instead of normal one, and ...
...a special offer too in which case its good to buy a few more bottles. It does give a very slight instant colour as it says it will, yet I dont believe the 'develops in 30 minutes' comment as although a small colour comes through then, I generally find a couple of hours will result in the full intensity of a colour. As with all self tanners, you cannot put on too many layers without exfoliating and moisturising inbetween as otherwise you gt a scaley ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...white box with Piz Buin scrolled accross in orange ( A sign if ever I seen one!). When looked at this product does not jump out at you, the box and lettering used are very bland and boring which I suppose is an advantage as people would not look at it and automatically think wooow that looks pretty! Therefore, would most probably not be tempted to buy it. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THIS PRODUCT TAKES HOURS TO FULLY ABSORB ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

...advantage points so I bought Piz Buin, mid self tan lotion – about £10 or so I think. What a disappointment. It didn’t work, I was still almost white in the morning. This product claimed that it would give me a healthy glow, the cream itself is orangy so I believed it, and I would be able to see where I had put it (which is always useful). I did all the usual exfoliation and moisturisation etc and then I went for it (before I went to bed). First ...
...had only put it on one arm, what was I going to smell like when I had finished putting it all over me? It was quite a nice consistency and easily absorbed, but oh the smell! It’s basically quite a nice smell but far too overpowering – everyone would know I was wearing fake tan which kind of defeats the object. On the plus side the cream really did sink in very well so I didn’t need to worry about getting it on the bedclothes. I was expecting to ...

Review of Piz Buin Mid Self Tan Lotion

I decided to try this product for two reasons, 1: i could buy it for £5.49 at the local chemist, less than half of the usual £11.99 price tag so i thought i may as well grab a bargain!!!, and, 2: those adverts describing how very fast the tan dried in which after using plenty of products before hand realised what a bonus this cud be. at first my experiances with this tan were very good, i exfoliated well, moisturised beforehand and applied the lotion ...
...infact dry in minutes meaning i could jump into my jammies straight away and into bed, no worries. i woke up the next morning and jumped out of bed an looked excitedly at the result, a perfect even natural colour!!! however, as it said to obtain a darker colour apply everyday untill u get the desired effect and then once a week thereafter. so i did. that is when i found the downsides to this tan, once i had built up to the desired colour and ...
