Have have 2 tubes but have been too scared to try incase i have to go to work an orange streaky mess! The hands logistics is confusing me. Thought i might try just doing my legs only before doing my whole body - might give it a go tonight if feeling brave.

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 13:28

oh its not strongly coloured at all. On the Judith Chalmers Scaleâ„¢ its just like a day in the garden.

How do you do your back?

To the brave tester- any streaks??

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 13:32

I just used my arms

its not so strong that youd notice the odd bit you missed.
And tbh not many folk are examining my back on a day to day basis. Shoulders maybe in high summer...

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 13:33

preens pathetically

Sounds promising.

Think I might have to get some next time I'm in town.

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 13:36

Ring first - none in our store - all looked blank, reflecting Boots TIPTOP staff training. Hmm

Maybe once is enough Friend is orange after a few goes what about hands

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 13:46

you wash your hands while waiting for it to take.
I then smeared tops of hands on each forearm so they aren't white

Thanks Badgers.. I've ordered ( suckered into 3-for-2 Blush) will be in Tues..

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 24/05/2015 14:13

tried mine today and have convinced myself I have a subtle glow, my arms are certainly browner but I did spend most of yesterday in a pub garden in the sun so may just be that. look forward to trying again

Can you really get dried & dressed straight after your shower, without it staining everything?

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 15:08

i did

OP posts:
ggirl · 24/05/2015 16:18

got mine at boots today , spent ages in store trying to hunt it down the bumped into huge display of it right in front of bloody door. No offer on it though.
Do i need to bother exfoliating like buggery before i use?

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 24/05/2015 16:27

yup it really is just wash and go, no staining. I use scrubby gloves when I shower so just washed with shower gel and gloves as normal, rinsed well and did the tan stuff after. Unless you have really dry bits then doubt it will be an issue, i think its quite moisturising stuff anyway. its very subtle the first application so will take a few days to develop a true colour. so so easy though, and gives me an opportunity to put a conditioner on my hair for long enough to work too Smile

ggirl · 24/05/2015 16:44

thanks , will go in sans sandpapered

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 16:46

no - i hate all that pre tan prep. Am a slattern

OP posts:
QforCucumber · 24/05/2015 16:51

I think it's spot on - slight glow on day one, will add more tomorrow.
No streaks at all - I am an avid tanner and this is sooo quick and easy. Pat dry dont rub after shower, I moisturised as normal after too. No smell which is the clincher for me.
