| Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturizer | £5.99 |
As a self proclaimed "avid fake tanner" you would think I'd enjoy a prolonged tanning sesh using a "proper" mouse or lotion but in actual fact, I loathe it! Keen to find something that would eliminate the lengthy tanning process I took myself off to boots and came across the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturizer.
I Apply the lotion after showering and exfoliating the same way I would with any other body lotion, but paying extra attention to areas where the "tan" can cling, like my knees and elbows. Once I have finished I wash my hands and using plastic gloves I apply a small amount to each hand, keeping my palms free of any product. I was rather skeptical at first as there is only one colour option, but even after one layer, my skin had more of a glow than usual. To develop a darker tone I find applying it every night for 2/3 nights results in a deep olive tan.
The lotion its self feels thick & luxurious but sinks into the skin quickly so there is no need to faff around waiting for it to dry. Along with cocoa butter, the lotion is packed with vitamin E so the skin is left feeling super soft and hydrated. The smell is also a bonus, although there is still a hint of the usual fake tan odour, the tell tale cocoa butter-chocolaty-scent makes it slightly more bearable. I haven't noticed the colour transfering on any of my clothes but my white bed sheets do have a slight orange tinge the morning after I apply it.
I can honestly say this body lotion is my new best friend and has quickly replaced all my other tanning products.
Catch up soon.
With love ... A x
