My Favourite Tanning Products

Happy weekend everyone! 

Time is flying and I can't believe it's Friday again! 

I am a lover of fake-tan and since its rumoured that the Winter may actually end, I'm finally back into regular tanning. Today, I thought I'd share my favourite products that I've discovered in my ten years of tanning!

These range from, in my opinion, quite expensive to really cheap. 

I love every one of these products! 

1. Creightons 'Fake Don't Bake' ..99p Home Bargains 

(Not available online but for an extra pound you can find it here.)

You haven't misread that price. It really is only 99p. Now, give me a chance to explain. Like me, you probably looked at the name/price and thought it's a cheap, poor quality copy. I can't even remember how I ended up buying this but I'm going to guess that the price made me think, 'why not?'. 

This body cream smells gorgeous - it reminds me of tan accelerator that they sell in sun bed shops. It's a medium tan that looks natural on my olive skin. 

I apply this before bed and by the time I've showered in the morning, the smell from the tan disappears. The best thing about this is how long it lasts - it stays perfect for about 5-7 days and fades naturally without looking patchy.

2. Garnier Summer Body Lotion £5.10 at Boots

If I'm not lucky enough to be sporting a real tan, I replace my normal body moisturiser with Summer Body Lotion. It's so moisturising and smells like apricots! It applies smoothly, dries within a few minutes and doesn't streak.

I apply with bare hands and wash them quickly afterwards. Summer body gives me a nice, light natural tan. I love that you don't need a break in between tanning, you can continue to apply it every day without it becoming uneven. This just replaces my moisturiser so there's no extra effort! 

3. Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Dry Face Mist

£8.49 at Boots

My skin is quite sensitive and I've had horrible breakouts before where I've applied tan to my face. This spray is made for the face and is really good on my sensitive skin. I use this after my night cream and spray it lightly over my face and neck. It gives a lovely colour under my make-up and matches my face with the rest of my body. If I'm using fake tan on my body, I will use this every few days as naturally, fake tan fades faster on the face!

4. Darker than Dark self-tanning Bronzing lotion 

£17.95 at Laurens Way

 This tan applies differently to the rest. It has a colour guide so goes on really dark which is really helps you know what areas you've covered. The smell reminds me of a chocolate orange, but its probably just orange scented and the colour made me think 'chocolate' ! When you wash it off in the morning, you have a lovely dark (but not orange) tan. I used this on my face aswell (risky, i know) but it turned out lovely! 

I'd love to know what tanning products, if any, that you all use so please leave a comment :) ! xxx
