I don't have to tell anyone twice that it is coming into summer. Everyone can feel it, the weather is becoming awesome (although it rained all day in bris today, yuck!), and the tans are coming out. Especially in Brisvegas, where we never really have a winter, the tan is out and about in full force. Hurrah!
I am currently therefore obsessed with being tan, but not from the baking in the sun (I currently have stitches in the back of my hand from a mole being cut out). This of course means that there are awesome beauty products for me to play with, so that doesn't worry me one bit. I am however very fussy when it comes to products (as i am sure that you will come to see with later posts). Products cannot be too greasy and sit like a film on my skin if they have to be there for longer than say, ten/fifteen minutes. After trying many different fake tans over the years, I have come up with a few that i adore.
Firstly, the wonderful Le Tan Fast Tan Instant Foaming Mousse. I have been using this product for about a year, and adore it to pieces. It goes on coloured, so that you can see where you have applied it, which makes application so easy. It also dries very quickly, so you don't have to hang out nude in your bathroom for half an hour, sweating away. Also, it goes on smelling all caramelly/coconutty, and doesn't have a very strong smell for the days afterwards, like some fake tanners are apt to do. I am in love.
Secondly, the Garnier No-Streaks Bronzing Spray. Now, this product is not a complete love fest like the Le Tan Mousse - i like it, but i don't love it. I like it because it sprays from any angle, which means that its really easy to spray the hard spots on your back, and it doens't go orange, it is a nice brown colour. What I don't love - it smells. Garnier have tried very hard to cover up the smell with a fragrance, but the fake tan smell is definately there in full force. Also, if you aren't careful with the spray you can end up with Oompa Loomper feet. The spray is very heavy, and falls down onto your feet more than anywhere else on your body. When applying this product as a full body spray, make sure that you put a layer of moisturizer on your feet (like you do to your knees and elbows to prevent the product grabbing as much). I had an unfortunate day where I sprayed myself with this the night before and then went to the beach the next day with bright orange feet. Not a good look! Therefore, what I tend to do with my applications of fake tan is to apply my Le Tan Mousse, and then use the spray to reach the hard to get places on my back. Winner!
Next, the Le Tan Original Tanning Cream. This product is rather new to me, I bought it last week after reading some good reviews, and I have to say that I am really enjoying it (I should become an ambassador for Le Tan). It smells delightful, and it again very easy to apply. Despite it being a cream, the product is very light weight, and only takes about 5 minutes to dry. Its awesome!
Finally comes Sportsgirl's Body Bronze. This is not a real fake tan, it doesn't contain DHA, but it gives your body a beautiful wash off bronze. Plus, it smells amazing! Definately a product for those who don't like fake tan, or who haven't had the chance to tan. Just make sure that you apply it half an hour before dressing, or maybe don't wear a white dress, because it can rub off on your clothes.
