Johnsons Holiday Skin....

.... is a body lotion - can I use it on my face?
Will all my skin drop off? Will I go orange? Will I end up looking like a side of streaky bacon?
Or is it ok?

I tried this last year after seeing everyone raving about it on MN. Loved the effect but couldn't stand the smell...has anyone else found this or is it just me ((( paranoid emoticon )))!!

I use the face one on my pasty skin and it def gives me a glow - look very grey without it. My friend (and my dh) I found out the other day use the Johnsons Holiday Skin body lotion on their faces and neither of them are orange. They say it has the same effect as the face one tan wise but the consistency is slighty more greasy.

Still waiting for a reaction, streaky or otherwise!!!

I found a couple of marks after the first use, but rubbed it in more the second time and it's been fine since. I have a nice glow now, as opposed to death warmed up. Need to wash hands really well after as well. I used tinted max factor moisteriser for my face, wouldn't risk johnsons.

The effect is just like the stuff I used last year, sun protection with taning ingredients. Went really brown with that.

I applied mine last night after exfoliation etc - what a streaky mess, just glad I did it now and not in the height of summer! Complete waste of money - glad I only paid £2.39 for it!
