Good luck trying to get hold of some!! Hope you can!

Otherwise we need to find someone on here who works for Tesco/Sainsburys/Boots who can nab a load from the stockroom

Thanks

Oh gdg I am so worried though as last time I used it it was so streaky around my feet!

BH - I've not done my legs or feet and I know they are quite hard to do without streaking aren't they? I've only done my arms, chest area and upper back/shoulders and I've been OK so far - no streaks. Def exfoliate your legs and round your ankles and then just put a bit on - it doesn't make you really dark overnight so you should be OK!

i dont exfoliate and its fine, just rub it in , dont put too much on your hands when doing the feet area and then get a damp cloth and gently wipe around the ankle and heels as this skin is drier than the rest of the foot and it (fake tan in general ) tends to go all dirty looking in this area (same at elbows ) as long as u throughly rub in it you should not get streaks , its sold as a lotion. good luck

Sold out everywhere around here! At least it gives me time to get my legs waxed I suppose.

Bought some on Saturday and I'm addicted! It's fantastic, I've always been too much of a wimp to use fake tan because of the riskof streaks etc. but I love this product. DH is planning on using some too because he reckons his legs will scare people if he wears shorts for running/cycling ATM.

I'm tempted too!

Off to Boots at lunchtime I think!

I usually swear by ecotan but will give this one a try!

How much does it cost??

Based on the messages on Friday I rushed off and bought some but on Saturday morning I looked like a tangoed zebra, it was dreadful! How do I get rid of the stripes, Monday now and they're as bad as ever! I did it straight after the shower but didn't exfoliate, maybe I should try that next time. No idea if mine is the light or dark version, it doesn't say but then I'm in Italy and everyone is olive skinned so I guess it must be the dark.

It's good but it may take a few days of putting it on to notice a difference. After 3-4 days my arms were noticeably browner than my legs (where I hadn't put it) and still are. It looks really natural as well - I'm really chuffed with it - it's miles better than the St Tropez I paid £30 for the other week!

Well I put some on last night and it looks really good today. Legs are a bit streaky but onceI keep going over them I am convincing myself the streaks will blend in. My arms, chest, back and face have a nice glow though. Very impressed!

I went everywhere today after seeing this thread and everywhere had sold out. Tried 2xboots, sainsburys, superdrug and tesco. Was very disappointed!

See I used to use Ambre Solaire after sun self tanning lotion which is very similar and just used to use it on nights out. This I think I will use everyday!

Me too BH - I've got 3 bottles now which I hope will last me the summer. It's nigh on impossible to get hold of any round here now.
