...temperatures. Initially you might think Decleor tan accelerator is expensive but when you consider how much your holiday costs and how much time you waste avoiding the sun if you actually do burn then really it's not a lot of money to invest. If your not going abroad for your holidays by using a tan accelerator you can maximize the little bit sun we get in this country over our so called summer. ...

Review of Decleor Tan Accelerator

Golden Brown Texture Like Sun

Advantages: Helps skin to tan more quickly, Less likely to burn, Keeps skin soft
Disadvantages: May be quite pricey for some, Have to remember to apply every evening

...my secret holiday essential – Elemis Tan Accelerator. I first discovered Tan Accelerator’s a few years ago when watching QVC. I had never heard of them before but soon found out that these lotions/creams help increase the melanin underneath the skin and encourage it to rise to the surface. This then means that you do not need to sunbathe for as long to get a tan because they prepare your skin before you go away. I was intrigued so I purchased the ...
...afterwards. Elemis are a company launched in 1989, they make a large variety of skincare and toiletry items which combine natural active ingredients with cutting edge technology and are a favourite among beauty therapists, Spas and health clubs. Their products are designed to use the most natural products available whilst still providing fantastic benefits to the skin. They aim for each item to be of a high enough standard for therapists to use ...

Review of Elemis Tan Accelerator

Lovely, natural glow

Advantages: Easy to apply, smells nice, makes skin smooth
Disadvantages: Goes patchy very quickly unless maintained heavily, extremely expensive

I had the full body St Tropez tan that was done with the proper tan product, not this one, but I used this Everyday cream to top up the tan I had... I chose the light-medium version, as I didn't want to layer myself too dark. I'm not a dark person. This cream did keep my tan going for well over a week, but I did start noticing obvious patches that no matter how much of this I applied, nothing helped. So I was a bit disappointed. Plus the amount you ...
...a week if you're vigorously attempting to keep a good tan going, and it costs about £15 or so per tube. Not a routine I can regularly afford!! I'd probably recommend this most for someone with fair skin, who just wants a bit of a sunkissed look, and maybe for an occasion. I wouldn't recommend worrying about this 24-7, it did my head in! ...

Review of St. Tropez Everyday

Half Fake - Half Natural!

Advantages: Enhances/Increase Tan, Non Greasy, Pleasant Smelling!
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey!

...** The majority of Piz Buin suncare products come in either a deep brown (sun care products) or a deep blue bottle (after sun products), in this case it's a dark brown bottle with orange writing. It's thick plastic so you don't need to worry about it popping or anything in your case and the opening is a twist top (similar to some shampoos) so there's no risk of spillages either. The bottle is about 20cm in height and has a flat bottom so is ideal ...
...should be applied underneath the Piz Buin Spray. It can then be reapplied as many times as you wish during the day! ** The Science ** This product contains Melitane which is quoted on the Piz Buin website as being "an active ingredient" which is designed to "enhance a natural tan." This ingredient replaces Carotene which is what the majority of after sun creams contain, however this has been rejected by Piz Buin as it can develop a slight orange ...

Review of Piz Buin Body Cooling Spray

Hmmm...

Advantages: Nice shimmer, cheap
Disadvantages: Not much colour, doesn't feel very nice, came off after a while

...come out better as it is Rimmel which I feel is usually a very good brand. I didn't get much colour at all and it was hard to make it even. However the shimmer was nice. I put it on on a hot day and ithe colour slid right off. ...
