Advantages: Doesn't smell like fake tan
Disadvantages: Price

Before going on my last holiday I took a look in the mirror and decided that my legs were looking far from fantastic and could do with a little help from one of the wonder products currently on the market. A few days later I received an e-mail from Boots.com which advertised No7 Pre-Holiday Firm Your Body Balm on a buy one get one free offer. How could I refuse???? ***Boots Say...*** Prepare to bare beautifully toned summer skin with this deliciously ...
...appearance of orange-peel skin, it firms, smoothes and nourishes, adding a hint of colour to get you ready for your holiday. with a unique antioxidant complex to care for your skin, boosting it's natural defences against the ageing effect of UV rays. Sounds good. Plus hypo-allegenic!! Needless to say I bought some on-line and it arrived a couple of days later. ***My experience*** The balm comes in an attractive beige/gold box/bottle and you can ... Read review

Advantages: Good way of getting in those problem places, ie backs of legs!
Disadvantages: Very oily product.

There seems to be alot of good reviews about this product but unfortunately I really did not like it that much. I felt that it was greasy for a long time after application and it rubbed off on absolutely anything you touched. Also, if you are applying this product dont forget to wash the soles of your feet as well as if you are standing on carpet or tiles and you move your feet, you will wake up in the morning with feet a little too brown for my ...
...be a health and safety warning on the bottle because watch out if you are standing on anysurface other than carpet because this product will make it very slippy!?!?!?! It is easy to spread but i dont like the way you cant really see a light hint of colour!!! :) ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none

wholst standing at the counter in next paying for a new skirt for the summer i spotted these little silver sachets on the counter, on further investigation i realised they were fake tan wipes so brought one to try, at £1.50 each they are not too badly priced. The towel itself is very similar to a baby wipe and to use all you do is wipe it over your skin, the colour doesnt start to appear for a few hours so it is a bit tricky when applying it to ...
...doing one part of your body like i did which was my legs you should be ok. The tan gradually appears over the next 10 hours to give a lovely golen tan that is not too dark and doesnt have any streaks and didnt smell too strongly either like most fake tans do. The only thing i had a problem with with these is as with all fake tans they dyed the knee and ancle areas a darker colour than the rest of my legs The tan from this wipe gradualy faded with ...

Advantages: EXCELLENT BRONZER, ALL-YEAR TAN, VERY REASONABLE PRICE, HARD TO BEAT THESE PRODUCTS
Disadvantages: NONE

...bronzer then look no more. Avon Arabian Glow pressed powder gives a glowing all-year tan. I have used this since I was 14 yrs old, I am now 29. I have tried all different bronzers, expensive, deisgner, the lot, and none of them come close to Arabian Glow. In 3 different shades your sure to find the perfect colour match. And at a fraction of the price of other bronzers this one can't be beaten. Buy the avon bronzing brush to use with it and when it ... Read review

Advantages: easy to apply, no streaks, no odour, natural looking tan.
Disadvantages: none

I have tried lots of self tanning products, only to end up with streaks, very dark knees and elbows, not to mention rather orange palms. I dont like using sunbeds as I dont really want a lovely golden glow but look 10 years older due to skin damage. My local beauty salon has just stared offering the brilliant "Xen Tanning" treatment, and I must say I was rather dubious at the claims they made - Very easy to apply, it dries straight away, so theres ...
