The Promise made by Avon
********************************
Avon advertises this as a moisturizer that, unlike self tan, gradually builds up natural looking colour while being a skin softening and nourishing body lotion with natural light reflecting pigments to illuminate the skin.
They also give a colour chart which shows some very impressing results as to which shade your skin might change within only 1,2 or 7 days of usage.
Now that the holiday season is on they also promise that the product will help you to keep that holiday feeling, which means, that it makes your tan last for longer.

To me it sounded fine, The only worry dates back to an event when I was a lot younger, for which I had decided to try and tan up my natural skin tone with some self tan. Well, you might guess, it left me truly tangoed - glowing like a orange. Ever since I've avoided self tanning products like the plague.
The Product
**************
Avon's Satin Glow Daily Body Moisturizer comes in a 250 ml tube and is available in two different shades, either for fair skin tones or for medium skin tones.

The product itself is much less runny than I expected from a body lotion and rather has the consistency of a light cream. It is clear white, which surprised me considering its a self tan cream. Satin Glow Daily Body Moisturizer has a smell that it very appealing
Very fresh, with maybe a hint of Citrus, not overpowering - so it won't clash with your perfume- and, most of all, not resembling this awkward aroma of self tan you usually get when using it.
All in all I would say that it is a very feminine, slightly elegant smell, not too sweet and to me it is one of the most pleasant ones I have found in an independent body lotion that doesn't belong to a favoured perfume in quite a while.
It lingers around for quite a while and I have found that if I apply it in the evening after taking shower, that it is still clearly detectable in the morning.

Applying product
*******************
This product seems to apply better after exfoliating your skin first,
Like any other body lotion you just apply it all over your body. It absorbs easily and doesn't feel greasy afterwards at all.
For the best results you are advised to use it daily and, like with every product that contains sun tan, you'll have to wash your hands after the application and should avoid getting it in your eyes. This product is not for the face there are other products for face.
My Verdict of this product.
***************************
I really like it as a moisturizing body lotion. Once you are tanned it really seems to live up to the expectations and the shimmering particles it contains really enhance the colour and do give you a glowing look. I will continue to use it, at least throughout the summer, as the tanning effect of the lotion has now become less important for me and I am quite impressed with its qualities as a body lotion - and I have become quite fond of the shimmer it produces.
So I only can recommend it to everyone who is looking for a body lotion with a little extra summery twist and a great smell, but for all those who really want something to build up some colour. The product is not available in shops , so you can order from an Avon Rep or you can do it online as well.

This product is definitely worth trying and at present is on offer Buy One Get One Free. Its £5.00 but you get 2 tube for that price. So it's a bargain. So get in touch with avon rep or go online.
