Best matte sunscreen

This is the best matte sunscreen I've ever tried. In fact, it is so matte for my combo skin that it tends to dehydrate it... I fix this by using a heave moisturizer before. It has quite strong floral perfume which I don't mind. I see no whitecast on me but I think darker skin tones could experience it. It spreads incredibly easily.

Nice product and lasts a long time

These tan drops provide a very natural tan. I usually mix 3-5 drops with day cream for an even result. You can also apply drops separately, but then it can be a little more difficult to get an even complexion. I think the effect will last for a few days, which is why I don't use them every day and the bottle lasts a super long time. In addition to the fact that the tan is beautiful, I also like how it feels on my skin. However, you have to wash your hands very carefully afterwards, otherwise they will be completely orange!

Hibernate naturally brown

Best way to use: mix several drops with a face lotion. Also available in spray form. Before use, it is best to exfoliate your skin thoroughly 1 day in advance. Afterwards, moisturize thoroughly, apply IOP and moisturize thoroughly again to allow the dry areas to work properly. Wait at least 6 hours for a result. Easy to divide by counting drop by drop. Good natural coverage. Smells great. Does not shed on clothes. Wash your hands afterwards.

Deep Tanning Oil by Garnier Ambre Solaire

Garnier Ambre Solaire guarantees the fight against cancer. This oil is nice to use and smells like coconut. It makes the skin shine and gives a nice softness. Use: apply an extra protection factor before sunbathing, apply a layer of this product on top after sunbathing (repeat these steps regularly). For those who easily get a tan (hubby only needs to walk in the sun for a few minutes and already looks like he has been in the tropics for several weeks). Gets a big 4/5 for the fine composition, price/quality and user-friendliness. #sunprotection2022

OK... that's just it

What is being written about it? Ambre Solaire UV Water transparent sun spray SPF 50 • Transparent, aqueous structure • Very high protection with SPF 50, UVB and UVA protection • Enriched with Aloe Vera • Does not stick • Water resistant • Light, refreshing and invisible like water What is my finding? Light structure that is absorbed very quickly into the skin. Love working with Aloe Vera, which protects me in a healthy way. Shake well before use, easy to apply thanks to the spray. I use it in conjunction with other products, which means that the use of this product does not reflect a specific function/characteristic. So I am not able to recommend this extra; rather I am like 'it will contribute to... ', which is not the reason for me to purchase or recommend again. #Garnier

The best SPF i've tried

I love using this SPF as a pre-makeup base—it’s lightweight, mattifying, and gives a nice blurring effect that smooths out my skin before foundation. What really sets it apart is how well it holds up during the day, even when I’m active or sweating. It doesn’t melt off or make my face look greasy, which is rare to find. It genuinely keeps my makeup in place and my skin feeling fresh. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

Natural tan glow

I like these drops as you mix them with your moisturiser and it's a very easy process. No streaks or weirdness, if I want a little glow I just pop 3-4 drops in my moisturiser at night then in morning I am more golden, I can then do this every night before bed, takes 2 mins with my nightcream to get up to desired tan.

Nice work 

great product forever. I was so surprised to see perfect bronzer. I had a beautiful party a week ago, and I wore a dress, but for a perfect look, I needed perfect legs because mine are quite light-colored. A few days before the party, I applied this bronzer on my legs and made a nice job of it, giving me a lovely golden glow very naturally, with no marks. It didn’t dry my skin, so it was perfect to the end

Under eyes 

Applying spf on your under eyes is the best anti wrinkle trick ever. It hydrates your under eyes and also ensures no sun damage to the sensitive parts of your face. Never forget the eyes!

Amazing natural tan

Let's talk about this self tan mist by @garnier. 😍 I first bought this when it was on offer on #amazon last year and thought why not give it a go. Well...... Oh my days, it is AMAZING. It dries quickly, results are fast and it lasts ages. Oh and it also smells gorgeous. With normal fake tan I end up smelling like beef and onion crisps once it's dried down. This doesn't, it smells fruity. Let me tell you the amount of compliments I receive when I have this on, asking where I have been with my tan. When I tell people that I haven't been anywhere and used this. I have managed to convert loads of people into using this. I have bought this loads of times since then and will continue to do so.

Natural 

This is really natural. Easy to apply and the result is amazing. Nice and glowing, dries well and isn’t drying on the skin. This wears off nice and evenly as well. This looks nice and sunkissed. This is my fave tan and I use it all the time. 10/10 for me

No breakouts! 

After trying many different options over the years - I have finally found a self tan for my face that does not make me break out. I’ve read reviews saying this tan clears acne - I don’t know if I would Go as far as to say it is an anti- acne product but as it does not cause me to break out further that is good enough for me. The colour is quite light which is good for my ghostly complexion but builds up after a few days. It’s easy to apply and thankfully no self Tan biscuit smell.

Best mitt I've used ever

I'm loving the Bondi sands Technocolor tanning mitt from Bondi sands,these have to be the best tanning mitts I have used in a long time ,I love that they are soft and blend my tan in Flawless.I love the packaging the mitt comes in I always keep it and it's great for going away overnight to pop my mitt in or even other wee niknaks .I love the colours on the mitt and how pretty it is ,I love that I can wash it and reuse it multiple times and I love that these are affordable and very worth the money .If your looking for a tanning mitt I'd recommend this one definitely from Bondi sands.

Self tanning spray

This lovely smelling, non sticky self tanning spray is ideal to use most of the time. Easy to use. Develops a really lovely non streaky tan on your face. Doesn't have that usual biscuity smell that most other self tanning products leave. Love St Tropez tanning products

Ultra dark - not so dark? 

I’ve applied this on numerous occasions, some as one coat and some as multiple but it just doesn’t seem to be really dark? The tan luxe foam is much darker. It does sink nicely into the skin and it good on dry patches but I feel could be darker? I would recommend for more natural looking tan

Fab for the price 

This is a really good priced tanner, it really does do a fab job, doesn’t streak and wears off well. It goes on clear and doesn’t have a fake tan scent to it. It lasts about 1 hr then I reapply. Because it’s clear you can apply in the morning and go about your day and wash off when your ready. This doesn’t dry the skin. It leaves it hydrated

Nivea Body Lotion Bronze Effect 

Nivea body bronzing balm provides incredible hydration. The effects after several uses are very natural, which is an ideal solution for someone who likes a natural tan. I am very pleased with the effect of the balm and I will definitely buy another package. I recommend🧡🤎
