A writer who had avoided fake tan for years after a green disaster in her teens decided to give it another try before a wedding in Portugal. She chose the Skin & Tan 1 Day Instant Tanner, which cost just £6.66 at Boots, and was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Instant Results Without Commitment
The product, described as an 'Instagram filter in a tube,' is a hydrating body bronzer that lasts all day and can be rinsed off. It doesn't transfer onto clothes and is smudge-proof once dry. The writer applied it with the Skin & Tan Body Buffing Wonder Brush, which made the process much easier and gave an airbrushed finish.
Application and Experience
When first squeezed out, the tan looks dark, but it blends into the skin tone to create a natural 'your skin but better' effect. The formula is smooth, doesn't smell bad, and the writer was impressed by the golden glow it provided. She noted that after a few days in Portugal, she had a slight natural tan, but the product enhanced it significantly.
People commented that she looked tanned, and she had to admit it was from a product. The only downside was that in 30-degree heat at the wedding ceremony, the tan ran a little and transferred onto her fiancé's white linen shirt. However, this was quickly forgotten once they had a sangria.
Conclusion
The writer plans to keep the product for special occasions, as it takes only 10 minutes to apply to arms and legs. She won't use it every day, but for special events, she considers it a game-changer.
