Advantages: skin feels soft and deepens colour if you already have a tan

Disadvantages: not so good if you dont have a tan already as can make skin look orange

I have recently just bought this product because I was on holiday and wanted an aftersun anyway but when i read that this one self tans as well I thought it would be a good idea to use, especially on the first few days when you are feeling a little pasty.
It costs around £10.00 which is rather a lot, but then you are getting 2 products in one and the name 'Clarins' is a name you can trust and know it will be kind to your skin.
On the first night of my holiday I applied the lotion after my shower and it went on realy smoothly and absorbed quite quickly into the skin, I made sure I wshed my ahnds afterwards as obviously the self tan will stain hands. It goes on like a normal lotion so isnt brown in colour. The smell was quite nice and the feel of it on my skin was nice and soft and made my skin really moisturises and it didnt dry from the sun. The next morning I looked browner and there were no streaks. I continued using it every couple of days after the shower and my skin was definately deepening in colour. I think it worked well because I already had atan from the sun so this product accentuated. I have been back from my holiday a couple of weeks, but tend to use this product once a week or so because when your real tan starts to fade this product can look slightly orange and falkes off as your skin peels (not an attractive look). But overall a good product if you are in the sun all day as it helps to soothe skin as an aftersun and deepens your colour to accentuate it in a safe way rather than lying and burning in the sun. Not a bad product but wouldnt really advise if you didnt have a tan already as it can look orangey.

Summary: overall a good product to take on holiday and it feels soft but can look orangey
