St Tropez Self Tan

Advantages: Great colour and very even colour
Disadvantages: Takes time and alot of effort

...opinion the best way to use it: ? Exfoliate really well, I use a body brush to really scrub myself ? Moisturise all dry areas, such as the knees, feet, elbows etc. I have found that putting a little moisturiser on my face made the tan look more natural. ? Put on rubber gloves ? Pump loads of the tanning lotion into your hands and apply it in circular motions, Now the trick to using this right is to not be afraid of it, I?ve found the harder you try to put it on evenly the worse it will look when you wash it off. It?s really intimidating because it?s a thick brown paste that makes you look like you have rolled in mud. ? I find it dries really quickly so start at you feet and work your way up. You should literally look brown and smeary. ? Once you have applied it everywhere just have a good look all over and make sure you haven?t missed...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Tan in a Flash

Advantages: Good even tan, (if applied evenly!).
Disadvantages: Cost

...Now, if you have read my some of my travel opinions you will be well aware that I like to travel. I am therefore always on the look out for a decent self-tan as I do not like to use sun beds. I recently saw on the net, an advert for Lancôme?s website so with the lure of a free sample or two I went to investigate. Surprise, surprise a free 5mls sample of Lancôme New Soleil Flash Bronzer Face Cream (golden) was being offered. I hate looking pale and pasty, so this sample was put to good use, as I have very pale skin. I just had to have one. Well the sample was free! I filled in the registration form and waited for the postman to arrive. Within a couple of days my free sample dropped on to the doormat and I hurried up to the bathroom to try it on my face. (Well as fast as I could on crutches). **How to Use** 1) The lotion is...

Review of Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel

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

Self-tanning sensation..

Advantages: realistic colour!!!
Disadvantages: definitely the price

...I am always a bit sceptical about self-tanning products. I have tried about three of them so far and always ended up with very uneven strange orangey or dark brown colour. On one occasion it was sooo bad that I couldn’t wear a skirt for a week because whatever I tried I just couldn’t wash it off!!! I have decided to give this product a chance after seeing it in every fashion magazine on the market. First of all I have to say it is expensive!! I paid £29.95 for my 240ml instant self-tanning mouse at Harrods. I think the actual sun tanning lotion is a bit cheaper. The main difference between the mousse and the lotion is the time it takes to dry and the colour of the product. The mousse is much easier to use! 1) It is very easy to apply!!! So the product gets top marks just for that. The mousse itself already has...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

St Topez Self Tan lotion

Advantages: Bottle last a long time
Disadvantages: Tan can wash off very easily

...When using this product you had to start in stages by doing a small section at a time. I found it was easier starting with the legs and spraying the product onto my leg then using an old sponge to spread it around as this product stains your hands terribly. It gave you a very good overall tan, although you needed to be sure you had covered all areas. I thought I had covered my feet an ankles well until the product had completely dried and I realised I had patches. I feel this is a good tanning product and the tan is very natural, however it washes off very easily and rubs of when near clothing. The bottle lasts a long time but dont quite feel it is worth the money as there is better products out there which are less hassle....

Natural Looking Tan - Finally!

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

...of a special blend of fruit-acids with a dihydroxy-complex that creates this natural tanning lotion. It is not tested on animals as it contains no harmful ingredients that would require extensive animal testing (Great!) . --------------- | Application | --------------- Before doing anything make sure that you are wearing gloves. These are provided, but your should be able to get suitable gloves from pretty much anywhere. You must also wash, exfoliate, and moisturise beforehand (Day before is best - moisturise really really well), like with all other self tanning products, if you want to achieve the best results. I tend to begin applying mine after a shower, again moisturising well. Once you are dry, begin applying the lotion, covering all areas (this is essential as it is hard to tell when is properly covered). On areas that you want...

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

Fake Bake - The best fake tan out there!

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

..., then do yours arms and then your neck and face. If you don't want to have a tanned face always mix in the tan with a facial moisturiser. When this is done take off the gloves and get an oval flat cotton pad and put the cream on that, then rub the pad over the top of your hands, so that you dont get orange hands!! The last thing to do is get another pad and then add some more cream to the inside of your elbows, as your were putting it on your face the tan acutally comes off the inner part of your elbows ( fake tans worst give away area!) When this is done just put a dressing gown on and relaw for around half an hour. The colour will be dark but dont worry it WILL wash off the next morning in the shower it is just the colour guide to show you where to put it! After the shower pat dry and TADAAA! An amazing brown colour has appeared...

St Tropez Self-Tan Mousse

Advantages: Easy to apply, even coverage, no streaks, won't make you go orange
Disadvantages: May make you smell a bit like a stale biscuit for a few days after application

...than £2 so save your pennies on all the advertised application products as the cheaper versions serve exactly the same purpose. Alternatively Boots do a self tan mitt for about £3.50 and St Tropez latex gloves 5 pairs for £2.50 so you can still get the same products if you don't have a hardware store near you. So now onto the tanning itself. Ensure you have plenty of time and that you're not in a hurry when applying your tan. If you're planning to wear it for an event or night out then it's worth doing you're tanning at least the evening before, if not longer where possible, for reasons I will explain a bit later. Ensure you shake the mousse bottle well before application. If you do it correctly then it should start off as a liquid then froth up until you can barely hear anything being shaken in the bottle. One or 2 pumps of the mousse...

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

The best self tan around? I beg to disagree!

Advantages: Easy to see where you're applying it, quick drying.
Disadvantages: Obvious FAKE tan, messy application, too expensive.

...I bought St Tropez Self Tan Lotion, after reading many reviews swearing that it was the best self tan product they had ever used. I was excited that finally, I might be able to have a natural, flawless tan instead of a patchy orange disappointment. St Tropez Self Tan Lotion turned out to produce the latter result. I shaved my legs the day before, exfoliated in the morning (especially my knees, wrists, hands, ankles, feet), moisturised about 3 hours before, and then applied the product using gloves and mixing with a small amount of moisturiser around my ankles, knees, feet, elbows, wrists, hands. It took a long time to apply, because even though I could see where I was putting it, the self tan didn't seem to want to stay on, I didn't even rub it in, but it started clumping together and then drying leaving some of that area white...
