  • I dont know anything about this other than what I have read online, I think you just add it to your tan before applying, I added the links to my faves so here you go :

    http://www.dance.net/topic/6308153/1/Latin/DHA-tanning-enhancer.html&replies=6 << This one is just telling you a bit about it.

    http://www.dance.net/topic/6741898/1/Disco-Advice/anyone-know-about-home-made-tan-with-moistutriser.html&replies=17 << This one gives u two links where u can buy it from.


    Hope that helps

    Hi everyone, haven't been around this board for a while cos I've been busy setting up a new business its all going well so far but I'm not quite there yet so fingers crossed. I've had a look at the links for the powder it sounds good to me maybe more stable than the drops if you can add it to anything and very cheap:T well done miss_nadine_x I will probably try this when I'm bored of the 16% which might be sooner than later, you'll see why below.

    I've been living in tanning hell:eek::rotfl:I ran out of my 16% last tuesday and ordered from celeb secrets.....or so I thought.....by monday still no product so I called them to see what was going on, they said that my order had only just got through to them:confused:(but the money had been taken on tuesday)and they were sending it out that day, what could I do? I didn't even bother moaning cos if I started I don't think I would of stopped:( I look an absolute mess, I tried to top up with my daughters 6% but that didn't even touch the sides so part of me was darkish the rest just looked grubby I then tried to get it all off, which I hate being pale, and it came off kind of patchy so then I had to resort to whatever was lying around before I discovered celeb secrets which is just as well cos I was so annoyed with them I thought I'm going to find another product but having to use 'normal' stuff reminded me how much I like the celeb stuff, anyway I sprayed myself with Glam Bronze in dark which made me look vaguely healthy and not like I live in a cave and just got on with feeling rubbish.

    Just as I was typing the postman came and brought my tan:TI have just opened the envelope and inside the bottle says DHA + extra tanning booster drops, no percentage just that, smells and looks the same as usual but what is it? It also says customise your tanning solution to match all skin types, have they sent me the drops by accident?, see, I told you I was in tanning hell:rotfl:I guess I'll have to call them, can anyone shed any light, I might just slap it on anyway cos at the moment the bottle is darker than me:rotfl:someone help me pleeeeeeease:rotfl:

    Just phoned celeb secrets and had words with them, although the girl did apologise I got the impression they didn't sound to worried about the delay or the mix up, she assured me that the product I have is indeed 16% as the booster drops come in a glass bottle not plastic, apparently the woman who puts the labels on has been sending out products with the booster drops label and crossing the booster bit out, but not on mine:confused:I suggested she should also put on the label the % that the customer has ordered if they have run out of the appropriate labels she said she would pass that on, great, thats clears that up then:rolleyes:.

    I think I'm going to take my chances and put what I received on as if it were my normal 16% if I have to look at my paleness for one more minute I'm going to go insane:D

    Hi all!

    Sorry to hear about your fake tan nightmare glowgirl, hope it's sorted ok now! If you tan does turn out to be booster drops not 16% I think your best bet would be to mix it wit some water to dilute it as it seems to have pretty much same ingredients as 16% I'm guessing it's just a stronger version. When I did a patch test of booster drops mixed with water it turned out fine!

    Thinking about it, it doesn't really make sense to me the story the woman has given you about the labels. When my 16% came it was just a normal white label with 16% hand written on, so I don't see how they would really run out of them - you can get them in wh smiths! I hope it is the 16%, let us know how you get on with it!

    I'm not sure what to do now about ordering my next bottle of 16%, I have been using up the last of my siennasol 16% and adding booster drops to make it 20% and I think it is a bit better then celeb secrets. I probably only have enough left to last me to the end of the week so will need to order more 16% from somewhere and I will also need more booster drops at more point although I have enough for now. I think I might order my 16% from siennasol and just order booster drops from celeb secrets. Hope I don't have hassle with my order! Do you think they are getting fed up with people like us just ordering small amounts for themselves?!
