Bought this today, used it in the shower an hour or so ago. Will I have any sort of tan by 8pm?

Probably not unfortunately as it takes a few days to start working; it is a gradual tanner. I was pretty unimpressed by it when I tried it a couple of years ago to be honest, but then I like self tan products to make a difference rather than just giving a bit of a glow. If you want an instant tan th St Tropez instant lotions are brilliant.

Nope sorry it's a (very) gradual tanner. I like it as it streak free. But my Scottish blue legs needed the deeper colour to shift their pallor.

I hated it and was glad when it ran out. 3 mins standing naked in a shower just waiting didn't really help.

Ambre solaire dry tan mist is my current favourite.

It's shite. St moritz is the best self tanner and so so cheap

Bondi Sands from Superdrug is brilliant. Put on - don't worry about the look as it dries. Leave on overnight or 5 hiurs and shower off. A beautiful tan with no smell. Love it!

Oh dear Confused. Wish I hadn't bought it now. And yes, the standing about for 3 minutes with no hot water to keep you warm was a bit shite. Not quite what I imagined "in shower" to mean. However, I can see a bit of colour coming on my heel...

A tan by 8pm? 8pm next Saturday perhaps Grin. As others have said, it is a subtle colour change.

Moisturise your feet first. Mine were dayglo orange for weeks. First and last fake tan experience for me!
