Hi, skintbuthappy81, just lightly run the mit over the back of your hands when finished doing everywhere else, keep fingers closed to avoid build up - hth.

Thanks for the prompt response Glowgirl. I am in a bit of a dilemma, I was thinking about getting the 10% solution (I am naturally very pale, but due to constantly wearing St Tropez have a slight tan, people think this is my natural colour so shhhhhhhh :rolleyes:) I do want to go darker, but naturally darker, will 10% be enough or shall I go for 12%?

Hi all,
glowgirl your daughter should use 6% they have it on celeb secrets...oh and olive oil can be used all the time!!:j

Hi all,

I tried taking some pics of my tan with my webcam but they didn't really show the colour right, came up really pale. Will try and borrow a proper camera to take some pictures.

Thanks for posting the link glowgirl, I am amazed at how everyone seems to be using no more then 12% - I think I would leave very dissapointed if I was given 12%!

Has anyone tried booster drops? Was thinking about giving them a try!

I'd like to try and make my tan last longer before I have to scrub it off and start again, anyone have any tips on preventing scalyness?

Morning all, dog got me up far too early so here I am at the crack of dawn talking about fake tan:rotfl:FelinePrincess - I have thought about the drops, as brought up by Gunna previously, I like the 16% and wouldn't want any darker but was wondering if you can add the drops to your normal moisturiser, this would appeal to me if we still had hardly any smell, I haven't researched it enough to know much about it yet, I would LOVE to see some pics, I'm not brave enough but would love to compare. skintbuthappy81 (what a great name) go for the 12%, on me it was like a much improved St Tropez, if you like your colour on the dark side I think this is a good place to start, its not overpowering but better than the rest I feel. ksa - I'll stick with oil, I really like it :Tand so far no damage to my colour, I agree with the 6% for my daughter, I don't wont to scare her:eek: lol

Lizard skin is in evidence this morning, yuck, like FelinePrincess said we would welcome any tips on this:)

Sorry I missed part of my post out lol! it was £80 on sunbeds I wasted. I am doing a complete cosmetic clearout before I buy anymore tanning products. I currently have 1/2 st tropez, 2/3 fake bake extreme, 1/2 xen tan dark, 2 x copy st tropez mouses, 2 x avon airbrush glow spray, 2 x hawianan (sp) tropics fake tan as well as several dove/avon etc tanning moisturisers! I challenge anyone to beat that! I am currently wearing a coat of copy st tropez mouse (as per last post) and a couple of coats of avon glow spray. I am whacking on my current products to use them up so I can justify buying celeb tan. How long would you say the 16% smalllest bottle would last, Id probs use it about 4 x per week would I have a good colour ? I seen a small spray bottle is superdrup for 99p and a mitt type thingy in a pound shop so il pick one up x

Booster drops can be added to you moisturiser...also i want to test them!!...erm if you oil morning and night scaliness should not appear...always exfoliate gently 3 days after you have applied tan and moisturise 1-2 times each day ....hope that helps!!

Hi all!

In the interests of research I have just ordered a bottle of booster drops and a bottle of the celeb secrets 16%. There was no price on the website for the booster drops so had to phone up to order, booster drops were £15.32. It turns out they also do a 1L bottle of 16% which costs about £49 (can't remember exactly) which might be useful for us tan addicts! I have just ordered the 120ml size to try first though.

Going to try using olive oil later, how long does it take to dry? Don't want my clothes getting all greasy!

Miss Nadine, you have loads of fake tan! You could try ebaying the full bottles? After reading this thread I couldn't wait to get started on siennasol so I have a full bottle of xen tan which I will never use so I'm going to put it on ebay. I have been pouring my sienna sol into a 100ml superdrug spray bottle, which lasts for about 6 tans I think, so I expect you would probably get about 7 from the 120ml bottle.
