Advantages: No orange streaks.

Disadvantages: It can sell out quickly.

The Johnson Holiday Body Lotion is the perfect gift to buy for someone for Christmas. It was recommended to me by my friend who had been using it already. It was by chance that she told me about it, after I had inquired why she was looking so tanned and thinking that she had been abroad. Of course, when she told me she had not been away anywhere and that she was using a body lotion made by Johnson and that it had a tanning ingredient in it, I was amazed. I knew instantly that I had to buy some for myself.

The very next day, I went out and bought the medium to dark skin bottle (there is a fair to normal skin one too), for £4.75 sterling, which I do not think is expensive. I started to use it immediately by rubbing it into my legs first. The next day I could not believe how brown I was from the first application. Now, I apply it every day or every other day (if you do not want to be too brown) and I have a tan already. Buy this for a friend, wife, girlfriend or your mother as a Christmas gift and they will be thrilled.

Also, I have heard that you can take it with you on holiday and still use it. It is even more amazing when your tan becomes more darker, especially if you tan lightly. I think this body lotion works even more brilliantly when you are sunbathing as well, so I would recommend anyone to take it away with them. Of course, you still have to use your usual sunscreen lotion. Johnson holiday lotion is just a normal cream that you use to soften the skin with and it is not a suncream protector. The Johnson holiday cream is only for use for softening the skin, but it is one with a self tanning ingredient included.

I have discovered that the best way to apply the body lotion is to rub it into your skin during the day and not straight after a shower or before you go to bed. This is because I have noticed it can look streaky and orange. Perhaps, have a shower or bath and then leave it for a few hours before applying it. I try to put it on in the morning, which is the best time for me and to be honest, it is more effective. I do not apply it every day, every other day is better. Sometimes, if you apply too much of the cream, it can stain your towels after having a shower. This is why I do not apply it every day. The longer it stays on the skin without washing yourself, then the longer it will give a more healthier looking tan and that way your towels are not ruined with stains. You can, also, apply this body lotion to your face, but I would recommend that you do not apply it every day, perhaps every other day or maybe every three days.

Of course, there are more creams like this around now, so there is plenty of different brand names out in the shops on offer. Some of the expensive brands are even better than Johnson cream, so perhaps anyone of them will make a good Christmas gift.

I bought the Johnson Holiday Lotion when I was in England, but now I have noticed that they are selling it in Cyprus. So, where ever you are in the world, I am sure that if you have a good look in your nearest shops you will find plenty of creams on sale.
