Advantages: Applies evenly and gives out a gradual sun kissed looking tan

Disadvantages: It has a funny smell when it has dried on to your skin and it washes off far too easily

I brought this Garnier summer body lotion a couple of months ago, it appealed to me as i have very pale skin and when we do actually have any sun i cant just sit out in it as it burns my skin so i wanted a sun kissed look amd this product says it builds up a natural looking tan and it has 12 hours moisturisation and i thought this looks good to me.

The bottle i brought was a 400ml and is long and slender and it comes in yellow and i purchased this from superdrug when it was on offer for under £5..bargain..on the back of the bottle it says how this product is different and how it works by saying it moisturises your skin and builds up a natural looking tan and it works with your natural skin tone to do this. The directions on how to use it, you need to apply product evenly all over skin and can be used everyday and to make sure you wash your hands after each application.

When it came to using this product i made sure i put a little moisturiser on dry bits of my skin beforehand like my elbows and knees. I used a very small amount for every bit of my body as i didnt want it to go wrong as you cant actually see where you have applied it when you are rubbing it in as the lotion comes out in a white colour and it doesnt tint the skin when applying. The smell when applying smells really fresh as i hate when you apply fake tan they always have a funny smell to them and then you start smelling after a while.

A couple of hours after applying i noticed a hint of colour coming to my skin and then a further 2 hours i noticed i was a little darker and it had given me a slight sunkissed look but i did want to be a little darker so i thought i will just apply the next day. The cream rubs in really easily and the skin absorbs it really well, a little later on after wearing clothes and doing everyday things i did notice a slight funny smell and i smelt my arm and it was coming from the tan, so later on i had a shower and you notice after the shower the tan doesnt really stay on so i did apply again the next morning and hours later again there was a funny smell which i cant describle, it did just smell like fake tan i suppose and it wasnt the nicest so i was abit disappointed with that so i am afraid to say i wont be using this product again in the future.

Summary: It is a good product if you can put up with the funny smell
