Now I'm not normally one to complain but here goes.
My Mum bought this self tan when out shopping and about a week before my holiday I decided to give it a go. The instructions were simple enough; Apply whilst in the shower, rinse off and pat dry with a towel. Now I should of definitely known that this was already a recipe for disaster but turns out I'm more naive than I first thought.
The problems began during application really. Before I went to bed I went for a shower and decided to try it out. I was very careful to try and get every single patch of skin but the tanner does not leave any colour so it is very tricky to ensure an even coverage. I did exactly what it said and rinsed it off and patted dry with a towel. Now the next morning I woke up and was really pleased to see that my arms were a really nice tan colour, not too dark or too light but just right for me. I was really happy. I did notice a little bit of patchiness around my elbows but nothing too noticeable so I was fine with it. I went about my morning and got my breakfast and all was great, until I got changed for the day. As I took my pyjama top off I could tell I was in trouble. I was so, so patchy! I literally looked like I had some sort of skin problem. All the tanner had gathered in any dips in my body so my collar bone, belly button and under my breasts were orange whilst the rest of my skin was patchy.
Now it was only at this point that I decided to read the reviews of this product (only because I wanted to see how long I would have to look like a bad Oompa Loompa for) and I found that I was not the only one. Apparently this is a really common problem with this tan and it was not just that I could not apply it correctly. I guess on the brightside, this tan lasts! It lasted for well over a week with continuous scrubbing.
I will never go for a tanning product like this again!
Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
