some of us have moved on and want to keep it that way..there are enough of us here to make this a great place to be...be like me and treat with humour..its the only way, the only way babe

So, you've chosen your moisturizer?
Hope you are ok quote:Originally posted by Moonbeams:
L'oreal Nutri Summer that's the one I'm using this year but I did use Johnsons Summer shimmer last year. I think the Johnsons one is a little better for a gradual tan where as the l'oreal comes up after 24 hours and does stain your hands.
actually the l'oreal one is good for the neck

Hi Pesky
I used St Tropez once and it streaked everywhere...I have dark skin anyway but like to have a bit of colour but not too obvious
quote:Originally posted by *Pesky-Pixie*:
Dove - Great, lots of ,moisturising and last a few days....but can be a bit dark if you are very pale.
Garnier - Nice smell (imo) not a thick as the Dove cream more a lotion...but does build up very gradually.
Johnsons - Thickish cream, nice gradual tan...can look orangey though on me.
Avon spray tan...my fav' of them all...light tan, good moisturiser, sprays upside down to do your back, lasts a reasonable amount of time...although more of a tan spray than a gradual build up.
Nivea...great for moisturising - not a strong enough colour for me....but would be great for beginners or for very pale skinned peeps.
Top tip....exfoliate well between each application (superdrug do some fab' mitts for this job)...to avoid orange knees etc and wash your hands in shower gel to avoid orange palms the day after!
Oh and I have used all the above on my face with no side effects or tangoed face repercussions!
Worst one I've ever used is Superdrug spray tan....way toooooo dark on the first application and streaks like no bodies business!
Tesco and Asda own brand tanning creams are fairly good too if you want an instant over night regular tan - they don't streak!
Good Luck...have fun and 'less' is better with this stuff!

I buy them when they are on 'special' Zaylee that way I get to try them and not waste me pennies if they are rubbish.
Sometimes there are small sample size bottles available for peeps to take on their hols....these are a really cheap way to test them out too.

I agree sample bottles are great for holls or even if you need to go into hospital and I am always on the look out for freebies etc and then stash them away for the holls.
Am I dense? What am I missing here?)

Not streaky, not 'tangoed' not OTTI think it might be a women having babies thing... I have a stash of mini bottles for my hospital bag (when im pregnant) and just as some women wouldn't leave the house without there makeup... fake tan I guess could fall into that catagory .... I think that is a good answer on 4 hours sleepquote:Originally posted by Dave - GaGa:quote:Originally posted by ZAYLEE:quote:Originally posted by *Pesky-Pixie*:

wait, wait, wait.... You really put on tanning creme before you go to the hospital? Why? To look deeply tanned for the nurse that is going to put a thermometer under your tongue or take your blood pressure?
I just don't get it.

Not sure fairy - haven't seen it advertised.
I only use Dove products as I have sensitive skin and my Consultant recommended Dove as it is free of chemical additives.
I'm completely happy with it and their selection of shower gels/creams is great.

Wow, they sell it in the US!

Well, *I* should have elaborated which one I was talking about.... I'm not as heavy on the quotes as you all are.
