Self Tanning > Eco Self Tanning

Worth a shot!

Advantages: Effective
Disadvantages: Can be tricky to use

Over the years I have tried a fair few fake tans, being extremely fair skinned and never tanning just burning I need some help to get that Bronzed look. One of the products I have tried is Ecotan. This can take a little while to get the hang of but once you do it is amazing and one of the better self tanning products I have tried. It doesn't mark clothes and dries in minutes, a great bonus - as I feel like a right numpty stood in my underwear not ...
...I got my ecotan from http://www.salonlines.co.uk/self-tanning-lotions/e co-tan/ for £17.95 for 2 500ml bottles of the Ecotan classic tan spray. (They are £11.95 for a single bottle). When I compared this to other sites the price was very competitive and reasonable. As with all fake tans the best way to apply is after a shower, having exfoliated and moisturised. my routine when putting on the fake tan is shower and exfoliate, towel dry and moisturise. ...

Review of Eco Self Tan

Great System But Very Bad Solution!

Advantages: Works excellently with a good solution.
Disadvantages: Messy and comes with a bad solution

...the tanning solution. What was BabyLiss thinking? Given how brilliantly the system works or worked (before my last one conked out.) You would really think they would include "quality" tanning solution with their "quality" tanning system. Why produce such a great product and then fail on what I would think to be the easiest part to get right? Well the result of their bad choice in tanning solution was that I went a rather unflattering shade of orange. ...
...that this is for a natural, streak free tan. Natural...yeah right! The solution provided "in my opinion" is definitely not one to use. The only thing it is good for is the bin! Actually even that is debatable because I do not think the poor bin would deserve to have something so awful threw into it. And, to think when buying it I was thinking how great it was that you get four bottles of the stuff. Another problem is that they tell you their solution ...

Review of BaByliss 8350U Tanning System

What is all the hype about?

Advantages: the smell isnt as bad as some tanning products, smells quiet clean.
Disadvantages: personally didnt like the consistency, didnt gain the effects i would have liked too.

...looking ones. And i'll give st. tropez the benefit of the boubt, Once developed it is quiet a good colour. The problems i had with st. tropez were as follows: - the consistency, i would reccomend mixing 1-2 blobs of the tanning lotion with a good moisturiser/ st. tropez step 2 moisturing lotion as it is really thick and stodgy. - Its quiet hard to apply because if you rub just one time too many it starts to roll off the skin in bits =/ but i couldnt ...
...smell of fake tan goes st. tropez isnt that bad atall, i've definatly smelt worse from other tans. Considering how many budget fake tans there are out on the market today which do as good a job as st. tropez, its still quiet highly priced for the effect given, I'm thinking about giving their tanning mouse a try as i think this might be easier than the lotion to apply? So, overall i think this fake tanning product is a little overated and i think ...

Fake Bake still Original & the Best Fake Tan Ever Made

Advantages: a treat for your skin, Fake Bake is a treat for your skin. Imagine applying liquid chocolate and
Disadvantages: Fake Bake vs. St. Tropez - Fake Bake is the W I N N E R ! No Contest!

...long as you apply the Fake Bake on CLEAN, DRY and EXFOLIATED skin. You SHOULD NOT APPLY MOISTURISER BEFOREHAND AS THE FAKE BAKE DOES THAT FOR YOU! As long as you do all of the above, then Fake Bake is perfect and can be used by everyone from beginners, to the Salon Professionals. Imagine applying liquid chocolate and that gives you the idea about the substance of Fake Bake. Rich, and liquid y in consistency, the 170ml bottle betrays the eye with ...
...weekly applications. You apply the fake bake and the product gives an instant dark, exotic look and you are supposed to shower after sleeping in the Fake Bike to wash off the "excess" colour, but I am fairly pale normally so I leave the Fake Bake on for 2 days, then build up colour and have a beautiful Golden Tan, which lasts for weeks as long as I remember to moisturise regularly. Every single thing about Fake Bake I love - including the accompanying ...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Golden Girl!

Advantages: colour,price,lack of strong smell
Disadvantages: not available in shops

...product has been compared to st tropez tanning mousse in colour and quality,but this is 10% of the price of st tropez,so, why would anyone not want st moriz tanning mousse? ---- availability ---- I heard about this product from beauty blogs and youtube,and as i researched it further i could not find one bad review of it.Many people call it a 'miracle product' and i would have to agree.However, i could not find this in any beauty shops in my town ...
...common downsides is the scent.While st moriz is not without the biscuit smell found amongst tanners,it is not overpowering and after having applied it to my legs i could not detect the smell,i only smelt it while i was applying it. ---- ease of application ---- The main point to be aware of with this tanner is that it dries incredibly fast,so it is best to apply it using a tanning mitt,or an old sock over your hand.When you first pump it onto your ...
