I have tried some tanning moisturisers, I have tried a tanning mousse so next up was a Self- Tan Gel...
This is from Boots Soltan Range - Beautiful Bronze which promises to give a natural even colour, tinted colour for instantly luminous skin, dries instantly and fades evenly.
I had planned to apply this in a leisurely manner but things don't always go to plan. I exfoliated first using Skin Wisdom Day Spa Wash n Scrub and then applied a bit of moisturiser in those places where tan can stick...
Just as I was about to apply the gel my son yells from the bathroom he wants to get out so I had to apply the fake tan in a hurried manner!
This is where it impressed me..as it is a gel it is not messy to apply, it is tinted so you can see exactly where you have applied it. It rubs in well, smells a bit like vanilla and leaves a slight shimmer to the skin. It felt like it had dried quite quickly but I would be cautious and not wear anything that you wouldn't want to get stained.
You can see the tiny gold flecks of shimmer in this photo
Friday evening I left the house with the tan working its magic and next morning I woke with the shimmer gone and in its place a really beautiful golden glow! For me, this would be the equivalent of one week sitting in the sun in Ibiza.
I am so pleased with the results, I used to think that I didn't have time for fake tans but this proved that it literally takes just a couple of minutes.
Beautiful Bronze Self Tan Gel costs £6.99 for 150mls but is currently on offer priced £4.66!
