Boots Soltan Self Tan Light

Advantages: nice, streak free tan
Disadvantages: the way Boots kept prompting you to buy their other products through the directions on the can

...Boots Soltan Self Tan Light Three months I won this in a packet of prizes. Last week, with the good weather (though I like the weather, I don't want skin care so instead of hours of sunbathing and burnt skin, I opted for faking it) I decided I wasn't going to be the palest person on the planet and got to work. I normally use the Piz Buin fake tan and I'm never used mousse before. There's no category for the light mousse so I hope you don't mind me put it in the Medium section. ++Variety, the price and availability ++ There are only two mousses. Soltan Self Tan No Streaks Mousse Light and Soltan Self Tan No Streaks Mousse Medium. Also there's sprays, wipes or lotion in the self-tan range of Boots. As it's a Boots brand, you can only get it at Boots. It's on special offer so at the moment it's £4.65 instead being £6...

Review of Boots Soltan Medium Self-tanning Mouse

I want a golden tan

Advantages: not orange
Disadvantages: can be streaky

...The British weather can never be relied upon to give you a golden suntan and sitting out in the sun for long periods is bad for your skin anyway. So last year I purchased a tantowel. They come in small silver sachets with tantowel written on the front. You can buy them individually or in boxes of ten. I didn’t know if these were any good so I brought one sachet which was on special offer in boots for just 99p. Each sachet contains one tantowel which is a towelette concentrated with self tan, the packet describes it as ‘formulated to give you a quick and even application with no streaking odour, or discolouration.’ It can be applied to the face or body and should give you a natural looking glow within 3 hours. It has been developed for both men and women of all skin-types after Australian born Lori Braun's, dream...

Amazing Fake Tan

Advantages: Natural Deep Colour
Disadvantages: Price

...After using tonnes of high-street fake tans I was very apprehensive about trying Fake Bake but decided to give it a go. The first time I purchased Fake Bake was from www.lookfantastic.co.uk and was in a set which included Fake Bake original lotion, body scrub and body oil and I was left with not much change from £50.00!! I thought it must be something special at that sort of price. I followed the instructions that came with it and started off by using the body polish all-over in the shower. The Body Polish is great it smells great too, it doesn't take long to apply and makes your skin feel and smell gorgeous. I then followed this busy using Fake Bake Body Oil, which as smells great. The oil is sprayed on whilst the skin is still wet and rubbed in gently. I then towel tried my skin and prepared myself for the fake tan. I used...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Get even, get an airbrush tan

Advantages: Looks like you've been on holiday
Disadvantages: You have to stand half naked!

...If your the type of woman who wants bronze golden skin without the damaging effects of the sun but also can not be bothered with applying fake tan then an air brush tan is going to be just right for you. There are many tanning shops popping up in high streets and shopping centres. Many of the sun bed centres and nail boutiques also now offer this as another beauty service. They apply the tan by a special spraying machine which is a long tube with a nozzle on the end. The spray is used as it makes the application easier and there are no noticeable marks or streaks. Most places you don't have to book but if it's on a busy high street you may prefer to book yourself in and get an appointment. I phoned in advanced and was told on the phone to shave, exfoliate and moisturise my skin the day before my appointment and on the day not...

Review of Boots Airbrush Tan

Natural Looking Tan - Finally!

Advantages: Looks great, easy to use, even colour.
Disadvantages: Can be a little messy

...--------------- | Back Story | --------------- As someone who never tans - just burns (due to my fair skin, I have used a lot of various fake tans over the years (having resorted to the highest SPF factor I can find). I was browsing the internet one day and came across a site for Fake Bake, it sounded worth a try so I went to my trusty hair and beauty site (http://www.salonlines.co.uk) and they had it as always at a great price and next day delivery. (Please see my previous posts on Salonlines - They have every hair and beauty product you ever want at cheaper prices! - I love that website). ------------------------------ | So What is Fake Bake? | ------------------------------ Very simply put Fake Bake is a range of sunless tanning products. These products are recommended by dermatologists. The Secret is a combination...

Most natural tan!

Advantages: Natural tan, long lasting, easy to apply
Disadvantages: smells

...£35.00-£40.00 and the 120ml bottle is £20.00. They sell st tropez in boots, fenwicks, debenhams, superdrug and most upmarket department stores. I also swim regularly which can fade st tropez when swimming and using st tropez it normally lasts me 4 days and can make the tan patchier than normal....

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Fake Bake - The best fake tan out there!

Advantages: AMAZING COLOUR! No smell, Easy to apply, Long lasting
Disadvantages: Can be a little costly

...Well what can I say, I am one of those girls who hates being pale! Call me what you like tanorexic, tan tastic whatever, all i know is i like a tan even in december! I have tried and tested so many products from Xen Tan all the way to Johnsons holiday skin. Until one day I was told by a friend to try Fake Bake and that they have read that all the celebritys have used it. So I thought, why not? I ordered a bottle off Ebay (Only about £15 inc p&p) in a few days it came and I couldnt wait to try it! Its a brown bottle with gold writing on it. It says to exfoliate and to top it up every week. How to apply Fake Bake properly: First EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE! If you don't do this you are just putting tan onto dead skin cells which means it is prone to come off alot quicker and not be even. ALWAYS exfoliate before you shave...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

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!

...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 Passion Fruit exfoliator which smells absolutely luscious. I have eczema and the Fake Bake even gets rid of rashes! It contains 100 % Natural ingredients, so it is a treat for your skin and washes off sheets no problem. If I was to compare Fake Bake to St. Tropez, I prefer this to St. Tropez No Contest!! St. Tropez is far to chemically for me and if you have asthma or ezcema than I 'd say to you buy Fake Bake Please! Chemicals in products such as St. Tropez aggitate Asthma!!!...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Chocolate tanning sauce

Advantages: I love the smell! Non streaky/non orange if applied correctly.
Disadvantages: Don't over-rub or it will remove the tan

...Although I got on fantastically well with the Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse from St Tropez I'm always up for trying new products and it appeared to me that more people use the normal 'lotion' as opposed to the mousse. Is it better? Let's see. ST TROPEZ TINTED SELF-TANNING LOTION The bottle for this lotion is quite different to the mousse. This lotion is presented in a smart, thick white plastic bottle with a black pump action nozzle. It proclaims itself as being 'Step 3' (and we all know what that means!) St Tropez like to make out that only their Step 1 and Step 2 could POSSIBLY precede Step 3 but I disagree - Step 1 is essentially just an exfoliator and Step 2 is a moisturiser. I would imagine that anyone willing to fork out money on a fake tan probably owns AT LEAST one exfoliator and moisturiser already...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Tan-Fastic

Advantages: Works well, Smells ok
Disadvantages: Packaging looks cheap, takes a while to dry

...confess they worked brilliantly, but the damage sunbeds do is well documented and in the end being a Dale Winton mini-me has to be preferable to having horrible dried up leathery skin or worse. I've read a lot about how the new generation of fake tanning products are much easier to use and provide far more impressive results, so against my better judgement, I decided to have another go at faking it... The first problem is the range of products now available. Row upon row of creams, lotions and sprays adorn the shelves in Boots. I didn't want to spend too much because I was sure I would be using it once then resigning it to the bathroom shelf in disgrace, so I ruled out the more expensive 'celebrity endorsed' brands like St Tropez straight away. But that still left a massive array of products ranging from Boots own brand products to...
