the new one as a lovely present.
Has anyone used it? It has rave reviews, you add it to your regular moisturiser

Damn you, I just ordered it and of course something else to get the 1000 points.
I should hide S+B
Although I shall soon be glowing fabulously.....

BadgersArse · 11/05/2015 15:38

or not. no difference at all on me

I've looked at this but think I'd be like you badger and not see much difference as I'm quite olive skinned.
I'm using the St Tropez Gradual stuff which I've stockpiled whilst it's been on offer in Tesco

noddyholder · 11/05/2015 16:39

If you are after more colour but still natural and good for skin James read Sleep mask might work for you

dailyfix · 11/05/2015 19:05

I've got sallow olivey skin & it definitely works for me.

Doobigetta · 11/05/2015 19:47

I've got both- I tried questioning the woman about the difference between the two and got nowhere. I've been using a drop a day of the face one. It took a few days to build up enough to be noticeable, but it's working really nicely now. Still trying to find the right balance with the body one, but I think 1 drop for each arm, 1 for the torso and 2 for each leg seems to show a colour after a couple of days. Generally I think it's great though. Face fake tans usually make me break out, and this doesn't, and the body one hasn't stained clothes or bedding.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 11/05/2015 22:51

The lady I spoke to today said the body one is a touch stronger. It was sold out at my local boots. I daren't get it because I know I'll talk myself into using about 20 drops on the first night Hmm

BadgersArse · 11/05/2015 23:07

Interesting.
I have £50 on Boots card burning a hole, and was tempted by this.
I'm very pale.

BadgersArse · 12/05/2015 07:17

maybe thats the thing

wonder if they take returns ? Grin

noddyholder · 12/05/2015 07:19

I think pale is it

Piratespoo · 12/05/2015 07:36

Do you add 3 drops to the pot Of cream you are using, or 3 drops each time to the little bit of cream you use each day? Doesn't take much to confuse me!

Lynne2015 · 12/05/2015 08:47

is there a cheaper alternative ?

Judydreamsofhorses · 12/05/2015 10:25

I've been using this since it came out last year (even through the winter) and really like it. I am fairly olive-y skinned, and it just stops me looking sallow. The bottle lasted me for a year, so although it is small, it does last a long, long time.

Lynne2015 · 12/05/2015 10:56

is there a cheaper alternative

BadgersArse · 12/05/2015 18:19

Right. Last night i decreased the amount of face cream too fgs. I can't imagine using it for body. Tonight in going 8

dailyfix · 12/05/2015 18:30

I don't understand it Badger, mine works in about 20 minutes. Do you put a blob of cream on your palm, add the drops then combine? How about trying night and day?

BadgersArse · 12/05/2015 18:32

Yup. Just that. I wake up thinking ooh and - nada

Kennington · 12/05/2015 18:37

The chemical in fake tan is DHA. Whether you get high end or cheap it is the same stuff just in a different carrier formulation. The clarins stuff sounds like a concentrated form. Does sound nice but worth thinking that the colour will be the same regardless of brand.

dailyfix · 12/05/2015 18:39

It is very gradual so fingers crossed you will wake up with a glowing radiance in the morning.
I suspect Clarins would probably give you a refund or at least another product.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/05/2015 18:41

I'm going to try some of this, if it's really gradual and pale that's the stuff for me!Grin

Clarins will take it back if you say it didn't work for you.

mrsdavidbowie · 12/05/2015 20:44

I nearly bought some in Boots today but the Clarins woman was truly awful. Had no idea what she was talking about.. So I went and bought This Works gradual tan.

YourBubzYourRulzHun · 12/05/2015 21:28

I've got the face and the body one in my shopping basket on escentual but haven't clicked buy yet! They are doing 20% off till Friday so the two items are £36 and free 2 day delivery. Tell me it's worth it! I am pretty pale so hoping it will make a difference for me. My legs are sooo white.

BadgersArse · 12/05/2015 22:27

I'm hopeful. Tomorrows the day
