Anyone used those moisturisers with a HINT of FAKE TAN?????

[drosophila]

You know the ones. Apparently you apply every day and you gradually build up a tan. There is a DOVE one and a L'Oreal one and probably others.

Are they any good?

Johnsons goes streaky on me BUT NOT ON ANYONE ELSE apparently

Have been using Johnsons' Holiday Skin - it is fantastic, but as always go lightly on knees & ankle bones!!!

probably reduced cos this years consensus seems to be taht the Dove one is best. I am using up my holiday skin but at that price may re-stock. Holiday skin is by johnsons drosphilia and i think it is good!

went streaky on me frayedknot

but everyone said I just didn't put it on right

I've given up trying to look tanned, now I'm trying to push the bright white candle look

Holiday skin is great ,but yes do use sparingly on the knee area,mine looked like i had never seen soap and water.

frayedknot and trinityrhino - did you both remember the 3 golden rules of fake tanning?

exfoliate
exfoliate
exfoliate

So are they much different to the normal fake tan. I use one on my legs and I always get stressed incase the streaks etc. I liked the idea of the gradual build up.
Vitomum who says the Dove one is the best?

well i have seen a few magazine reviews where dove came out top and there was a MN thread last week where that was the consensus - can there be a greater endorsement than that! and yes i think they are less scary to apply than the actual fake tans - although you probably have to do it at least 3 days on the trot to notice anything.

Yeeeessss...

It doesn;t go streaky on my rough bits cos I avoid those. It goes streaky on my nice smooth shins.

I think my skin is weird.

Lol at bright white candle!

Honestly thoguh everyone else I know has tried it, my mum, mates at work, loads of people on here, and say it's great!

anybody tried the face ones?

Yes, I'm using the nivea one. It's good, but I only use it every second day. If you have a spot, it tends to colour more there, and also round your neckline if you don't rub it in properly. But I am very fair.

I bought a Johnsons set that had a face one and a body one -I've found both of them fine (although I am careful with exfoliating and not using too much around knees and ankles).

I too have streaky streaks with Dove and last week I had one brown leg and one white one, what happened there? and yes I did put it on both legs!
