Advantages: Lovely glow, various shades and matte/shimmer options
Disadvantages: Very fast drying time can leave uneven patches & rain can cause streaks
Perfect for nights out, keeping that holiday glow or simply when you want a little colour!
On first application you may be shocked by how dark this looks on your skin - but don't be fooled! After gently rubbing it in the shade is reduced significantly. With three shades to choose from (fair, medium or dark) you can get the perfect colour you're looking for.
The tan itself is a gel/cream that blends easily and dries quickly. Be warned however -you must act fast to avoid an uneven colour! I have struggled a couple of times blending the tan in entirely and have had to use moisturiser to help lift the colour and even it out (not ideal for those in a rush)!
There is a matte version available which may be more suited to those wanting a complete tan effect. The shimmer is great for those wanting a subtle, sexy glow or for those wishing to top up their tan with a shimmery effect.
Personally, I found the shimmer to be too overwhelming for facial use, but found it to be perfect for legs making them look leaner, silkier and of course more tanned!
The product was very easy to wash off with simple soapy water or showergel. Be careful with rain (or any form of liquid) as it can easily cause streaks!
You will definitely need a tanning mitt or glove to apply this as when done without your hands become incredibly dark upon and water cannot remove all traces of it!
Summary: An affordable wash off tan available in many varieties perfect for a summery glow!
