    I'll be happy to give this a go...my last experiments of self-tan (cream, wipes, spray) were quite catastrophic :rotfl:

    DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!

    Glowing like Kilroy-Silk/Judith Chamlers (delete as appropiate) is not a nice thing for yourself or others to look at even it is for free.

    I fake tan all thetime it is a mch safer option than getting skin cancer under the sun and if you buy a good tan then ther is no need to look likethe tango man. also with some you are able to mix with moisturiser to dilute for very pale skin

    Just called sk:n and found out the price for bikini, leg and underarm laser treatment in Manchester ( don't know if it's the same everywhere or not) but i thought some people may be interested to know.

    Bikini is £94 per treatment or £450 for a course of 6 which is about the recommended amount of treatments (6-8 they say).

    Underarm is £79 per treatment and £390 for a course of 6.

    Full Leg is £229 per treatment or £1050 (if i remember rightly) for a course of 6.

    Half leg (top or bottom) is £189 per treatment or £894 for a course of 6.


    Hair must be dark, skin should not be tanned and no sun/tanning for a week to 10 days after each treatment.

    Treatments occur every 6-8 weeks for bikini line so i'm assuming most places are about that often too.

    Also there are 3 new centres opening later in the year (October i think) and if you register your interest now, you can get 30% off treatments when they open (Cheltenham, Milton Keynes and Northampton) so although it won't be able to be used with the BOGOF, it's good for people who can get to those areas who can't have it done soon when they bogof offer is on.

    They also told me that the consultation is free but you need to pay £25 for the trial laser test on you, they didn't say anything about it being refundable though, so maybe Martin could confirm if this is the case or not?

    Hope this helps some people.
