“Horrible smell”

★★☆☆☆

written by 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.

“I put it on after a bath, all over my body and waited...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 09/05/2011

I put it on after a bath, all over my body and waited for about an hour before putting clothes back on, as I know it can go streaky, it didn't feel very absorbed but I thought an hour was long enough. The next morning I woke up with streaky arms and legs, so I used it that night after a bath, but waited 2 hours and used a hair dryer, it still didn't feel fully absorbed, but I still turned out blotchy in the morning, I wouldn't recommend this product.

“This new fragrance is disgusting. after using it all...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 06/06/2010

This new fragrance is disgusting. after using it all over my body in preperation for a wedding on the weekend to look a little tanned, my partner said i smelt stagnent & he could not bare to be near me (nice)!! I will never ever use it again, i have just threw two full bottles in the bin. I scrubbed my body for 15 mins and after 3 showers the smell is still lingering. I would rather stay lily white. thanks Johnson's.

“Bought this today as a February pick me up. Even...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 17/02/2010

Bought this today as a February pick me up. Even though I'd never bought it before I trusted the Johnson & Johnson brand. Came home tonight for lovely soaky bath and slapped this on afterwards, put pj's on and settled in front of TV. Have had to go shower and change again before bed. It smells revolting, and seems to get worse after application, as though the product has gone off. I will be taking it back to Superdrug tomorrow and requesting a refund. I have no idea whether it works as a tanner as I have no desire to reapply. I wish I'd read the other reviews her before I'd bought it.

“Have used Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion before but...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 03/09/2009

Have used Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion before but this particular one has a very strong smell I would say of 'cooking fat'? Not very nice at all and this would put me off buying more. I wonder if anyone else has found this recently because having used the product for many months, it is the first time I have found it to have such an awful smell!

“Gave a really nice colour to my arms but found it to...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 29/04/2009

Gave a really nice colour to my arms but found it to be very patchy on my legs which now means part of my leg is orange and the rest still white, a friend of mine also used it on her feet which are now bright orange. The smell of the product is awful but does gradually wear off. I probably won't use Johnsons Holiday Skin body lotion again through the summer in case my legs go orange again.

“The smell of this stuff is enough to put me off...”

★★☆☆☆

written by MeganPE on 01/08/2008

The smell of this stuff is enough to put me off altogether. It also leaves terrible streaks and collects to areas like knees etc. I'm aways careful to exfoliate and moisturise everyday, so its not like I'm not doing it properly. Yuck!

★★☆☆☆

written by on 24/05/2008

I found this to be fantastic for my arms and tummy but did not really work on my legs as it goes all streaky. the colour looked fantastic although I had to wait a while for it to dry to prevent it from going on my clothes and bed linen.

“Tried this product before, but made me itch then, so...”

★★★☆☆

written by lynn carol on 14/05/2008

Tried this product before, but made me itch then, so thought I would give it another go as its meant to be improved now. The lotion was nice and creamy with a not too bad smell. It took ages to dry and then I noticed that it had started to roll off of me in little bits when I touched it, don't know what that was all about, never had it before with any other products. Colour not too bad, but think I will stick with my Dove lotion for now.

I think it's just a little patchy and orange in places but maybe it's me applying it wrong, I am going to try and exfoliate then give it another go...

“Its good value for money, but I have been applying...”

★★☆☆☆

written by emiloo1983 on 22/04/2008

Its good value for money, but I have been applying this every other day now for a week, and to be honest its gone a bit streaky, I shower every day and take baths so this could be why, but it should be more durable really and not streaky, its good if your on a budget but I don't rate it very highly personally, its a shame because Johnsons is a fantastic brand.

★★★☆☆

written by on 19/12/2007

I used the medium to dark lotion and it worked good on my arms which were already a little bit brown but it turned my very white legs orange and left patches on in my ankles . I am currently trying the light skin lotion and it seems to be a lot better.....

“Good tanning product. Worked well on my sensitive skin...”

★★★☆☆

written by teressane on 03/03/2007

Good tanning product. Worked well on my sensitive skin because of the body lotion component. But has the same nasty smell and requires the same care as any normal self tanning product. The colour came out very nicely on me though so I am happy to put up with the extra caution and I do prefer this to normal self tanning products.

“Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion builds up a great...”

★★★☆☆

written by celestiteaura on 15/08/2006

Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion builds up a great tan gradually, according to the advert. Being terrified of the sheer idea of a "proper" fake tan, I went out and bought two bottles of the fair to medium type to add some colour to my pasty pins. The smell when it comes out of the bottle isn't too bad. A little goes a long way but it is very messy and disgustingly greasy. It also takes forever to dry, so be prepared to stand around feeling slimy and uncomfortable for at least twenty minutes. Also, as I mentioned above, you will start to "peel". It's not your skin, it's the product but it's gross and really annoying. If you leave the "peel" it will collect product around it and give you orange marks. On the upside though, the "gradual" colour change is pretty instant and it does give a lovely colour but subtle enough not to shock. To be honest, this is a product to be used with patience.

“Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion is an ok product if...”

★★★☆☆

written by jenny84 on 09/08/2006

Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion is an ok product if you have the time to wait for it to dry, don't mind if your clothes some times get stains from it and can wait until a day after you shave and good at rubbing in the cream for a while. Johnson's Holiday Skin Body Lotion does state that it is a light tan and that is what you get, a light natural looking tan which is always better as dark fake tans look fake and horrible, like when using a sun bed after a while everyone can tell its fake, but with Johnson's Holiday Skin Body Lotion, it's light and builds up and look natural!

Geting little dots all over your legs after shaving where the lotion got into the pores happened to me too! Though I have found a way to minimise this. When you get out of the bath or shower soak a flannel or sponge with freezing cold water then wipe your legs with it. This will close your pores and reduce the dotty effect on newly shaven legs.
