ggirl have you tried the Garnier Ambre Solaire dry tan mist that you spray on yourself?

It dries within minutes so you can spray yourself all over before bed and then have a shower the next morning. No problems with funny smells as it smells pleasant enough when you spray it on and you wash it off in the morning once it's developed which is generally when they start to smell iffy. Good colour and easy to apply evenly and no paper knickers!

amandoh -that stuff sounds good

nappyaddict · 18/06/2010 14:27

Don't go to a booth that will definitely make you orange. A beauty therapist will pick the right shade to suit you best. I tend to go for the 8 or 10%.

AlaskaNebraska · 18/06/2010 15:52

feet deffo orange

I've never heard of numbers!

I'm trying to choose between Tan and Dark Tan.

Does Dark tan last longer? I suspect not.

brimfull · 18/06/2010 16:46

look you can choose colour

AnnDaloozier · 18/06/2010 16:56

That is odd. I needed to put more moisturiser on my feet.

brimfull · 18/06/2010 16:58

do you think Gary Lineker has been over doing the booth?
do you look like Gary

AnnDaloozier · 18/06/2010 17:01

I don't knowcwhat he looks luke ATM

HighOverlordCybil · 18/06/2010 17:01

imagine a wotsit with jug ears

HighOverlordCybil · 18/06/2010 17:04

I like urban retreat self spray.Very natural. Bought 3 cans at £3 each in Boots sale. I dont think I would trust a salon spray tan (we all know my hair salon history...)

Bought fake st tropez and it is bloody brilliant colour and no streaks have had several sprays but it is hit and miss

AnnDaloozier · 18/06/2010 18:42

yes that is my home product of choice.
anyhoo
got into several convos about spray tans today.
i think that women over 30 would be more likely to go if other women over 30 did em!

noddyholder · 18/06/2010 18:44
