anyone tried Johnsons holiday skin body lotion?

[pleaserewind]

looked quite good on the tele, apparently it has a bit of self tan in it too.
everywhere seems to have sold out tho

[Sonnet]

desperatly trying to get hold of this stuff!!! - any tips?

[sweetmonkey]

i live in bromley and managed to get some put aside at the locksbottom sainsburys, still BOGOF,
the bromley store had sold out last night and i phoned boots but no offers on

[Sonnet]

Have tried two big boots, one large Tesco and all have gaps on the shelf!
Only got a small Sainsburys near me....

[sweetmonkey]

cant believe how popular it is. hope it is as good as everyone has made out. what area are you in?

[Sonnet]

I am in Northamptonshire, but can travel to Milton Keynes - might have to make a special trip!!
Could kick myself as I nearly bought some in March when I first saw it!!

[Gobbledigook]

It's great - my upper half is really tanned. Haven't put any on my legs as they are always covered.

I've not had any streaking either. I put it on when I get out of the shower so my skin is still fairly moist (even though towel tried) and I think that helps. I wash my hands straight afterwards so no orange palms.

[Sonnet]

Don't rub it in..... I am white and pasty and likely to stay that way!!

[fairydust]

i can't find it in any of the shops near me

[sweetmonkey]

but do you use it on yr face?

[abacus]

and where can you get it???? I tried all the Boots I know of,same with Superdrug/Sainsburys, phoned Asda who said yes we have some, went and they'd sold out, resorted to ebay and paid twice as much! It's a bit like when Delia went on about liquid glycerin in a Xmas special - you couldn't find it for love nor money

[crunchie]

Sweetmonkey, yes I would use it on my face. I haven't becasue I have a clarins one I was given. BUT I would if I needed to.

I have had to stop using though for the past weke as I am having a spray tan done tomorrow or sat in time for my holiday, so I wanted to start from an all over white body

[sweetmonkey]

ah thanks crunchie.just didnt wanna end up looking like an oompa loompa

[serenity]

I've used it on my face, and it's nice. The only thing was that I got really spotty - I'm not sure if it was connected or not (my face can be quite sensitive) but I liked it enough that I'll probably give it another try.

[sweetmonkey]

so you didnt get any streaking? just paranoid that i'll use it and then it will go wrong and i wont be able to leave the house.LOL
did you use the light or medium one?

[serenity]

I used the dark one, I didn't use a lot and I moisturised over the top of it just to make sure it was really even. I just didn't want there to be a noticeable difference between my neck/chest and my face iyswim.

[LIZS]

dh couldn't get it in Jersey yesterday, apparently there is a waiting list !!

[sweetmonkey]

yeah thats what i dont want, he he.

[Sonnet]

Boots completly out of stock....

[sweetmonkey]

even the website?

[champs]

Sonnet, fairydust, and abacus I have a light one for 1/2 price if you want it (i got it bogof as there was only one dark one left and wouldn't feel right asking for £4.99)
also local tesco and boots have it so if you would like I can get some for you and send it.

Enid, just wondering how you are getting on with the No7 firm your body balm, i hav e just been to boots to get try and get the johnsons one but the lady said that they don't bother stocking it because of the no7 one, so i ended up buying the No7 balm still bogof.

[pleaserewind]

puppy, does the no 7 one have self tan in it ?

[Enid]

have been using the boots one for 2 weeks but no real change, just a very very slight glow

[Puppy]

Thanks enid.
pleaserewind on the box it says proven to reduce the appearance of orange-peel skin, it firms, smoothes and nourishes, adding a hint of colour to get you ready for your holiday.

I bought some of this after seeing this thread. Am just back from hols so do have bit of tan anyway but I think it's good stuff. It did streak on my legs though - any idea why?
