St Tropez Tanning Essentials Body Moisturiser

I am quite a girlie girl when it comes down to beauty products. I love to treat my body with fine products instead of with chocolate and takeaways like some. INstead my way to indulge myself is to feel as though I'm pampering myself so I'm always on the look out for beauty products which make my skin feel good afterwards.

I bought this because it stood out on the shelf and seemed to call my name... or perhaps I just read virtually ...
...one! It sounded as though it was different to other moisturisers as it also gives a slight tan at the same time so I thought I'd give it a go.

After I'd managed to get the babies to bed and tidied up the debris they always manage to create I took myself off for a soak in the bath and then afterwards applied this to my skin.

I bought this because it stood out on the shelf and seemed to call my name... or perhaps I just read virtually every bottle on the shelf in Boots before selecting this one! It sounded as though it was different to other moisturisers as it also gives a slight tan at the same time so I thought I'd give it a go.

After I'd managed to get the babies to bed and tidied up the debris they always manage to create I took myself off for a soak in the bath and then afterwards applied this to my skin.

It was easy to apply, it absorbed quite quickly actually and it didn't feel greasy or oily and my hands weren't left caked in random goo. The lid twisted off which was easy to do even with wet hands but I did wash my hands before putting it back on so as not to make it have that sticky effect next time. I did also scrub my hands well afterwards- I couldn't see any cream on them but didn't want to run the risk of a fake tan appearing on my hands leaving white marks between teh fingers and making me look odd!

Afterwards my skin felt so soft and smooth it was really good. Definitely better than a moisturiser I was using before. The next day it still felt smooth and hydrated just like a moisturiser should do.

The colour of my skin only changed every so slightly. I didn't wake up with a sudden tan, if anything it just made my skin look like it was glowing. I used it that evening too and then the next day the tan did look slightly darker but only by a little.

I really like this and I use it every other day so as not to have a fake looking tan suddenly appear! It keeps my skin feeling really moisturised and it definitely is one which I am going to keep buying especially throughout the winter as it will help to fend off that terribly pale complexion that comes with the winter months!

If you're lookng for a product which is essentially a tanning one then don't buy this one, this seems to have it's main purpose to moisturise and tan as a second.
I bought mine from Boots where you can get advantage card point on it too x
