Trying to find the darkest self tan

avstar

Hi all

Just an update on my first attempt at home spray tanning:j

Got a mitt and a spray bottle from superdrug (v fancy spray bottle, quite large and is bright pink metal).

Couldn't wait to get started so missed out the exfoliation step....I know I know:o
Solution went on lovely - much easier to apply that the Fake Bake mousse, didn't realise my swanky spray bottle sprayed quite so wildly tho, dark spray all up my bathroom wall :eek: Luckily it's tiled and just wiped off. Will have to be more careful with the spray bottle.

Very nice deep tan (for me!) the next day - not sticky to sleep in like Fake Bake, altho patchy on my knees, feet and round armpits, think thats my fault rather than the product tho, should have exfoliated and barrier creamed them.
Yep very happy (even tho I bought the wrong product!) will try celeb secrets own next time.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Felineprincess, yes that is what it means, for now anyway, I am so annoyed with myself for ruining my colour that was looking great, I don't even have dry skin, so what really was the point, I am going to top up with one or two layers tonight to try to get things looking normal but I am low on product so will order some more tomorrow and I still have my daughters 6% if necessary, my daughter, is not happy at the moment with her colour she has much dryer skin than me and is very patchy in the usual places, she needs to moisturise more and keep up the exfoliating but it gets in the way of her hectic social life:rotfl:no one said fake tanning was easy:D

Avstar, congratulations I am really pleased you like the product:T

Hi all!

Avstar, I really like the sound of your spray bottle, mine is small and a bit rubbish! I'll have to go and see if they have the ones you have got at my local superdrug, was it with the travel bottles ect? Good to hear the tanning went well!

Glowgirl I understand how fed up you must feel, I get so fed up if my tan doesn't look good. I'm sure it will be back to normal in no time!

FP, the spray bottle was with all the hair brushes, bobbles type stuff.
It's prob about 500ml size, they had bright pink and also silver ones, metal body with a black spray handle. Think it was about £2.90. Looks nice with all my toiletries

hi all fake tan fans, i just wanted to say, that following much experimentation with many, many brand for many many years, Celebrity Secrets' staying power is unrivaled, in my opinion! I would say it smells, like they all do. So, for me, the perfect non-smelly fake tan remains elusive, but I'm impressed with Celebrity Secrets (16%) and thanks for all the great tips! I also got it all over the place with my spray bottle so have gone back to the high-risk strategy of pouring on to the mitt.

Thanks Avstar, will get one next time I'm in town!

Briggers, I spray mine onto my mit keeping the spray bit quote close to the mit so it can't go far! I always end up spilling some if I don't use the spray bottle!

Hi everyone! I ordered the siennasol extreme on sunday and just waiting for it to be delivered! I've been having a nosey about the interweb and looking on dance forums and seen people taking about dha powder, I seen a post that said it was £3 odd for a tub so maybe something so think about.
