Been using Johnsons, and after about two days, got this unbelievable ithcy skin, like really almost under the skin itchy. Yet only on arms and legs, not chest or shoulders.

THEN realsied I had this last yr, when using same product.

hence dim.

I get this on my legs. But found a cure this year, good old E45. Before i use tanner - I put a very thin layer of E45 on the itchy bits and rubbed it well in. Then I applied St Tropez everyday and so far so good.

the itchiness wasn't good.

Hope that helps

Wow, I was thinking of starting this thread too - thanks Pirate! Never had it before but started this year with Johnson's. Changed to Piz Buin (which I used to use several years ago) but same thing happened. Will def try E45.

I have the same problem - over the years I have tried every self-tanner on the market and all made me itch. My best friend jokes that she never bothers to buy the stuff because I give her so much that I can't use. Will try this tip though - I've had skin cancer so don't want to go in the sun but hate having white legs.

Didn't happen last year with Lancome but frighted to buy some this year in case it does!!
