Advantages: Effective, easy to use and affordable

Disadvantages: Not in the current brochure

I used this product regularly last summer and was moderately pleased with the results. The product is designed to build up a gradual tan, while moisturising the skin, over a period of time. Ideally you should aim to use this on a daily basis for a few weeks prior to wanting your tan to be on display. So if you are intending on going on holiday, it is best to start using this every before you leave. That way you have a light tan built up before you hit the beach.

The price of this product varies, though it is usually only a few pounds for a standard sized product. This is also available in little 30ml travel sizes which I think are a sweet idea. It is not available in this current brochure but it will be available again shortly.

Using this product is easy and I find that this sinks into my skin within a few minutes of application. I find that it works well as a moisturiser and leaves my skin feeling soft all day, especially my legs. I think it is important that it does take a minute or two to be absorbed, as this means that I have time to rinse my hands after application before they get too tanned!

I would not say that the tanning effects of this product are anything to write home about, but I certainly think they are noticeable with continued use. There are big advantages to this over using a solid fake tan product though. Firstly, you have pretty much no chance of winding up covered in streaks or patches. Secondly, you are unlikely to wind up looking as though you have been 'tangoed'.

I think is a great way to kick start the summer. I am wary of skin cancer and never sunbathe, so this is an ideal way for me to get a light tan to my pale skin. I especially like using this before I go on holiday to a hot country so I do not stand out like a snowman!
