Tanning

I've used quite a few bottles of this product and it does a pretty good job. I like that it always gives me a natural looking tan. I am very fair so the only issue that I sometimes have with this is that if I try to layer it up to much it can start to look a bit streaky or slightly orange. I have other favourites that I use now but this is a great option and very affordable so I would use it if I needed to.

Golden Tan

I use this products every year just before summer and I find that after some use it makes blotches on my skin. Don't know whether it's just my skin or what, but it does tan up well.

Tips: Make sure you put it on evenly or else you will get streaks

Sublimely Bronze

Out of all the (many!) self tanners I have tried, L'Oreal's Sublime Bronze is one of my favourites. I have medium-fair skin that tans easily in summer but this is the way to holiday-tan skin minus the skin damage.

I like to apply this at night time after showering. I exfolliate, shave and moisturise my legs the night before as I find you get a more even tan on exfolliated skin but products with moisturiser interfere with this. This applies to the skin like a lotion, rubbing in easily.The slight tint in colour lets you see where it has been applied so you don't miss any spots.

The formula's very light but it does still take a little while to dry so avoid dressing afterwards. The colour itself deepens over time to a really natural bronzed colour without the orangey overtones. It does still have that fake tan smell about it but it isn't as strong as some self tanners.

This is a great value product if you're wanting that spray tan colour without visiting the salon and I would repurchase.

Tips: Apply at night before bed as the colour darkens over time and initially the fake tan smell is quite strong.

Kiss Kiss

This is a great product particularly in the gel form. It glides on and blends easily so no need for a mitt. It produces a natural golden colour which does not look fake or orange. This is one of my favourite fake tan products and on a price to quality ratio, one of the best.

Tips: Layer it up over several days to get the depth of colour you desire.

Love Love Love

The easiest self-tanning product i have ever used. Literally no streaks, dont need a mitt and doesnt have that yucky fake tan smell. I am a serial fake tanner and believe me I have been through every single tanning product and back again, and this is by far the best. I tried this as a one off at a Bucket Bargain sale a while back, and its the best thing I ever did. When the sun comes out and I realise I have white legs with only 2 minutes to go till I leave the house - I quickly apply one layer and off I go!

Tips: It provides a light-medium summer glow colour, so may need 2 coats for a deeper tan.

Natural Tan

This tanner gives gave me a nice natural tan, not orangey at all, but I didn't like the smell & the texture was sort of sticky. But overall, a natural colour. You can use all over & on your face, too. The vitamin E is a plus, too. The packaging is good, a see-through tube so you can see how much is left.

Tips: Takes a while to dry so don't sit on any white sofas straight away! Use gloves or a mitt for even coverage.

Self tanning

Was a good tan found it was best to do a while before going out as it takes awhile to dry, but it did leave me with a natural looking tan that I loved!

Did the job for the time.

I bought this to use for my sisters wedding. I am very pale naturally. This did give me a nice colour. I didn't look orange. It did take a while to dry and was a bit sticky.

Tips: Make sure you rub in really really well and use a mit, as I used my hands and even though I washed it still stained,even my nails.

Good, but not GREAT

This product comes in formulas for different skin tones which I think it good, it does do what it says it will, but results are all in the application.

It takes a little while to dry, the formula is very light though so it's easy to apply (albeit a little sticky) I find the tan is very natural - and I am so white I'm like the walking dead. It takes the edge off without making me a carrot. The packaging is good, I like to see how much of a product I have left.

The smell is pretty strong, and it's a good option, just maybe not the best option. I have to admit, this sits in my bathroom cupboard over taken by slightly better products!

Tips: Exfoliate before applying! Usually the day before as well. Apply in circles and rub it in really well so you don't get any streaks, and of course, wash your hands after you apply!
