This can be purchased at any large chemist in the UK its usually Boots or Superdrug prices seem to vary from £4.99 to £3.50 as I saw it on special offer a little while back.
I use fake tan reluctantly I hate the smell I hate the mess and the hoping I have scrubbed it off my hands so that the next day im not going to end up with Satsuma hands. I hate waiting for it to dry etc etc etc... I could go on and on.
So not being a fan of the Casper look I use this as now over half my family have had bits of skin removed because of various skin cancer problems so Im not a sun worshipper any longer.
As I am pale I thought I would use it 2 days before I had a special occasion coming up.
The bottle says use once a day or when needed I don't see how putting it on anymore than that would be advisable seems pointless. It boasts of containing vitamin E and that its a good moisturizer.
I had a shower put a little bit of baby lotion on waited ten mins then applied the cream its almost got a chocolate type smell and is a nice texture the colour is basically the colour that the bottle is. It rubbed in it pretty well and dried ok (still felt like I couldn't get ready till after half an hour as didn't feel dry enough).
I went to bed got up and noticed the smell was a bit awful gone was the nice chocolate smell and hello was a typical fake tan smell. My arms were ok they had a bit of colour but my elbows and a round my wrists were a bit stained I had to tidy this up with a wipe. My legs were a mess the streaks were awful Im not sure what went wrong but they weren't a pretty sight, the following night I used this on my arms again giving my legs a miss this time. The following morning a nice enough golden tan but again just to many streaks. I used this for a few weeks then went back to my avon one as much better minus the streaks.
This Gradual tanner has rave reviews and maybe I am doing something wrong Im 41 pale with not to dry or greasy skin so don't know where this has gone wrong.
You get a decent size bottle and a little goes a long way, In all I was a bit disappointed that it didn't work for me as I really wanted to like this as I like palmers products.
If you want just a natural golden tan if your pale then use it maybe 3 days before you want to look your best and the colour will just fade within 5 days.
