Tan Max Soothing Moisturiser

\r\n\r\n

\"This lightweight lotion is really soothing on overly sun kissed skin. I used it as a daily aftersun after sunbathing and noticed that it really hydrated my skin plus I didn\'t peel at all. Its biggest plus point is the fact it not only hydrated my skin but it also gave me a deeper tan without any marks, streaks or scary self tanning ingredients. It boosts the melanin production in your skin which in turn naturally enhances a tan. I loved it, well worth the price tag.\"

\"I would suggest this product for those that have got just a hint of a tan but want to enhance it immediately before summer\'s over. If like me you\'ve only managed to get a few rays over the last few weeks then use this daily moisturiser to enhance your colour and hydrate skin. It works really well and quickly, both hydrating dry skin all while giving you a deeper tan in days. Bliss!\"

Guerlain Terracotta Huile De Voyageur Nourishing Dry Oil Illuminating Tan Intensifier SPF 8

\"This product is divine. From the packaging to the fragrance to the end result, it does exactly what it says on the chic bottle. My skin is extremely dry and so I adore using body oils as I find them more hydrating than a cream so this illuminating oil hydrated my skin and left my tanned skin radiating health with a beautiful sheen. And because it contains an SPF it can be used before heading out and about for the day.\"

Sisley phyto-touche gel -- sun glow gel

Sisley,self tanning,Tan,self tan,fake tan,tanning sisley phyto touche gel sun glow gel

\"This matt bronzing gel is perfect for achieving that just-got-back-from-holiday glow, even if you haven\'t been away or your tan is starting to fade. I have combination skin so products like this can often make my skin greasy or look shiny but this gel gave a great matte finish and stayed put all day. The shade is also perfect for paler skin tones as it is easily blend able so you can achieve a subtle glow to full on bronzed babe for an evening look. Perfect pre-holiday to keep your skin looking healthy and tanned for that little bit longer.\"

Vani-T Bronzing Custard

\"I loved this subtle gradual tanning moisturiser as, unlike my usual brand, it had none of that fake tan odour instead smelling just like a tropical piña colada. The consistency of this cream was fairly thick and moisturising, great for dry, sensitive skin like mine but despite this it absorbed into my skin immediately leaving no residue so I could get dressed straight after applying it. After a couple of days of using this my natural tan was darker and there were no streaks making this product a great all-rounder post holiday.\"
