Trying to find the darkest self tan

  • Hi Missk,

    I find on my first application the colour doesn't go darker then the colour guide, I'm not sure about once it's layered onto more fake tan. To be honest, I find the first layer barely makes a difference (but then I'm so white I'm almost see through) and it's the second and third layer that gives me colour.

    Hope it comes out ok!

    Well - colour guide washed off - and its a lovely colour - slight overkill on me feet but nothing a good scrub wont solve
    I also put a layer on my face - which i have to say - has gone on lovely!
    The colour itself look similar to that of a spray tan i used to have in a salo - cant remember name of it but the colour was chocolate.

    Got my celeb secrets today - leaking!

    But may try it later - bought a plant spray from Ikea! That will be ok to use?

    Thanks, I've got my inservice at school tomorrow so think I may jst do arms/maybe legs incase it goes a bit pete tong and I can cover up! But looking forward to trying it if it is as good as you all say!

    I usually do my face with fake tan, would you recommend using this on face? Or just what's left on the mitt?

    Well that's me done! Think I've messed it up around my armpits a little bit and the guide colour isn't particularly dark on me so we will see! May do another layer tomorrow if it works out ok.

    I tried the spray but it was just awful to be honest, so I just tipped the bottle over my mitt and that worked better, I just applied it in long strokes until I was 'painted'! lol a little goes such a long way it is unbelievable!

  • Hope your tan comes out ok hieveyone!

    I just ordered the 18% solution from la tanning, my £10 voucher never arrived - I had a feeling it wouldn't so just ordered it anyway, it actually came to £69 as the £60 wasn't including vat, which was a bit annoying.
