Skinny tan - is it really as good as all the hype suggests?

[GloveBug]

It keeps popping up on Facebook every time I log on. All the comments seem be positive and people are raving about it. Is it really that good? I have never self tanned before but seriously considering giving it a go

I would like to know too! Saw that super drug were doing a deal on it, but one get one half price I think.

I bought a couple of tubes in superdrug at the beginning of the holidays. I have very white, freckled skin on my legs that doesn't tan and use factor 50 to prevent sunburn. I'm outside a lot all year round so arms and face are more tanned.

I've been really pleased with it. Really natural colour for me and goes on well. I did notice in the mirror at the swimming pool today that I'd been a bit crap with applying on my thighs - would aim for more accuracy if I were the glamorous type. As it is, my shorts have covered the top of my legs or it's been wetsuit weather on the beach!

I've rarely ever self tanned before. Tried a spray tan ten years ago - looked the colour of sunny D for ages!

I tried it and I've tried a lot! I bought the cream and couldn't find my tanning mit, bottle said not to over -rub and I think applying it with my hands made this difficult! I ended up rubbing it off as I put it on and it was shit.

I think a tanning mit would give much better results, and also I would probably prefer the mousse. Good colour though, lasted well even after I'd taken the worst off and smelt like mild coconut. I didn't once get a whiff of biscuits.

Thanks all. It's the mousse I'm thinking of getting. I think it comes with a mitt. I'm planning to ask DH to apply to the harder to reach places to avoid any streaks
I'll check out the super drug offer blueberry

Sleeper is it the mousse or the 7 day tan that you're using?
