Elemis Total Glow Self Tanning Cream

We all know that sun bathing is bad for you. You can open a magazine this time of year without reading about the sun's damaging effects or the story of someone's battle with skin cancer. The problem is that a tan looks so healthy. You feel better with golden skin than pasty white, not to mention looking slimmer. Let's face it, although Nicole Kidman and Winona Ryder are very beautiful with their pale, ethereal skin, most of us want to go on holiday and come back with the tanned, toned skin of Pamela Anderson or Salma Hayek. Nobody wants to go abroad and come back looking the same as when they went do they? So lot's of the big beauty ...  Read the complete review

By far the best self tanning product I have used so far. As I have very fair skin which is prone to burning and hard to tan and a high concentration of moles, I prefer to use self tan than sitting in the sun all day or using the curse of the devil, namely sunbeds. I used this a few days before going away on holidays and found it extremely easy to apply and took only a few hours for the colour to develop fully. The resulting colour was not the usual vivid orange of many inferior brands, but gave a gorgeous and natural looking 'glow' rather than a block colour. Of course, if you find the colour too subtle you can build up layers of colour. I would recommend ...  Read the complete review

Why go to the expense of using a cream when you can tan in the garden for free? Well the main danger is skin cancer the next is wrinkles and although we may think we will never get the former once over 25 we all worry about the latter. I have a skin that does tan fairly easily but I don't want my skin to look like a piece of distressed leather by the time I am 40. I do not use Elemis fake tan exclusively but it is one of my favourites to use on the face and neck. This is because it doesn't streak and gives a nice natural colour. I would say this product gives you a medium effect in one coat and if you want a deeper Carribean tan you ...  Read the complete review

It works well, not streaky, not orange but you do have a very sticky feeling for over an hour after applying. It felt very uncomfortable, but I am happy with the overall result. Make sure you exfoliate and loads of moisturiser before you apply, and only wipe over your ankles,knees and elbows once as you are finishing each limb. If you do that with any self tan, it helps stop orange knees and ankles being the embarrassment of a lifetime! The tan is very natural, and I will probably do it again later in the week to give a deeper effect. If they could lose that sticky feeling lasting for that long, it would almost have been perfect. Nice fragrance too. ...  Read the complete review

Elemis Total Glow Self tanning cream is brilliant. I have been using this product for about a month and have never had my usual pale-ish to medium skin tone since, i am now a gorgeous shade of brown which looks very natural. It lasts a few days and goes on easily and as it is clear it won't stain your sheets(if your like me and hate waiting around for your colour to develop so you sleep on it), and it comes in a stylish gold tube. The rules are the same as with any self tan apply to the body using long strokes and to the face and neck using the fingertips and apply sparingly to knees, elbows and knuckles. I now only would conside using this fake tan as it ...  Read the complete review
