This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanningtreatment. I was amazed!
I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!!
After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you are left with a really good colour tan (definately not orangey either!). It also doesn't smell as bad as the others I've tried.
The only disadvantage is that it is quite expensive (I paid £25 for a bottle) but it lasts and lasts (especially if you use with moisturiser). Mine lasts about 6 months with an application every 2 weeks (if I can be bothered!).
Excellent buy if you aren't going on holiday. If you are off on holiday it gives you a glow to go with. Well worth it!
