“Not the best product on the market”

Written on: 02/11/2012 by Caro1

This went on well & smelled OK. But now I'm looking at the result, I wouldn't buy it again. It's certainly no better than any other fake tan product... and it IS more 'fake tan' than gradual tan. As with so many other fake tanners, the result is very YELLOW - I prefer a less yellow/brown tone, but finding a fake tan that isn't yellow-based is like finding a needle in a haystack. (the best one is Avon 'skin so soft' soft & glow but sadly this has been discontinued). However, if you get... (read more)

“Not bad if you're just looking for a very gentle glow”

Written on: 04/10/2012 by helensullivan (6 reviews written)

This product is ok if you understand that it is not going to bronze you. You're going to look like you've been out in the sun for a little while, but you aren't going to be a "footballers wife". Yeap you can double up and get it to go darker, but this means more money and more importantly - More time. If you want a good colour by the weekend you need to start thinking about it on Monday. If you have no illusions about what this'll do then you'll get on with this fine - but if you're like me... (read more)

“Horrible smell”

Written on: 19/09/2012

I'm not sure if it works as a gradual tanner, to be honest, because the acrid chemical pong had me give up on it after a couple of days. I guess most fake tanners are full of nasty chemicals - this one just doesn't manage to disguise it. (read more)

“good lotion”

Written on: 25/06/2012 by Bella-II (2 reviews written)

This is a good lotion but it has a very bad smell after application. The company should change its smell so that its consumer doesn't have to complain about it after using it.... (read more)

“GREAT!!!”

Written on: 15/04/2012

I am getting married in 6 weeks and have been uming and ahing over sunbeds / spray tan or fake tan..... I would usually use sunbeds a few weeks before but i dont fancy the idea of possibly peeling on my wedding day!! (I always peel) I cant really afford a fake tan and a trial of a fake tan (as i don't really trust them. Some look soooo orangey and how do you tell which ones will turn out ok). I decided to go for Johnsons holiday skin for trial purposes as i bought it a few years ago before... (read more)
