General Comments

I've been wanting to tan my body without going to a salon for it, and I didn't want to come out looking like a walking and talking orange. I wanted a light brown natural sunkissed tan look to show off in a bikini this summer on the beaches.
I was searching Superdrug for some moisturiser, and I found myself looking at Garnier SummerBody Moisturising Lotion. It was on a special deal of 50% off, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I got home from the shops and tried it immediately. I was a bit concerned that I may come up in a rash as I have in the past, but I read on the bottle that it has extracts of Apricot in it, which I know is very good for your skin, and smells lush. Anyway, I rubbed on the lotion, so excited and happy, and then left it to dry in before putting my clothes back on.
A few hours later I saw absolutely no difference. I was angry and upset, so I thought nothing of it.
The next day I thought 'Right! I'm going to give it another go and see if I just did it wrong - if that's possible!' I read the bottle carefully again, and applied it rather quickly.
The next morning I woke up, and pulled up the trousers of my pajamas to see a beautiful brown finish to my legs, that looked so natural. I almost cried with happiness!
I got into my shorts that morning, and went for a walk around the village, and thought that people were looking at my new sexy coloured legs as I strut my stuff on the pavement!
When I got back I saw that the lotion had been applied terribly, with streaks down the sides of my legs, and a big gap from white to brown on the sides of my legs. I felt like a real idiot!
Now the lotion has washed out, and I have re-applied it, and I covered my whole body evenly, so now it is all over me, because I took my time to do it and I was very careful. I would recommend this product for people who know what they are doing, and are not just going to put it on in the spare of the moment.
