Fake tanning on the cheap?

lucystardust

Now that the weather is warmer and the layers are coming off I've noticed how pale my legs and arms are!

I want to buy a gradual tanning product like Johnsons Holiday Skin etc. Do you have any recommendations? Or tips on any discounts that you've seen around?

Thanks!

The Johnsons Holiday Skin can often be found in shops like 'Home Bargains' and 'B&Ms' for a couple of pounds...I *think* I might have seen it in Poundland too. Usually the ones in the cheapy shops have a foreign language on but that shouldn't make any difference.

Personally I prefer the Dove version as it I find it soaks in the best on my skin but I don't see that in the bargain shops very often (or ever!)

Have tried both Holiday skin and the dove one. Both made me have an orangey glow and a couple of streaks.

If you have a Semi Chem near you, I would recommend the St. Moritz tanning mousse. Was terrified the first time I used it as didn't want to look orange or too dark. Seen the colour of it going on and I was :eek: So just used it on my legs and hoped for the best.
Quick bath in morning and my legs had a lovely glow, not orange, not too dark, would definitely recommend this for those just wanting a slight colour. Although don't use it as my daughter does, or you will end up looking a totally different colour, sparingly does nicely :rotfl:

Hi! I might be wrong, but I think they sell St Moritz in Home Bargains/Quality Save too, so might be worth a look because it's cheap as chips! :T

I found the Johnsons in Morrisons for £2.46 yesterday so will give that a go - smells like play doh though! I'll keep an eye out for St Moritz too, thanks for the suggestion.

I can't stand the smell of the Johnsons or Dove products, but I do like the Garnier one (called something like SummerBody?). It's about the same price as the other two, is on special offer at Boots at the mo, but only something like £2 off - like most of them it's often at half price in the tanning season!
