Well hello.
I thought I might take the
time to review a product for you. As the title suggest it is for the Palmers
'Natural Bronze' gradual tanner. I've actually been using this for a good six
months now, on and off and feel it is a good time to review it, being that it's
'summer' and everything. I should start out by saying that I do not 'tan'
naturally, I burn (even when wearing factor 50), go horrendously red, my skin
peels off and then I'm back being pale again. I'll be honest tanning isn't
really high on my beauty priority list it tends to be a laborious task that
quite frankly I haven't got the patience for. All the exfoliating, moisturizing
applying etc. etc. just seems like too much effort. It always seems to go
patchy, and there are places that really... You just can't reach. Maybe it's me;
maybe I'm doing it all wrong.
Anyway! Back to the review right, what I'm
getting at here is that I'm lazy; I can't be bothered to go through all that
rigormall. I first spotted this product in December; I think it was on offer in
boots at half price, which made it about £2.66! I was feeling drained and run
down, and needing a pick me up during the long hard winter months. Ok it wasn't
that bad, but I thought I would give it a go, maybe it would bring me hope that
summer would come. Eventually. I also remember being distinctly addicted to
TOWIE at the time; this could have influenced my desire to look a little
'healthier'.
Not holding out much hope I
gave it a try one night, it was really easy to apply, you literally just treat
it like a moisturizer. I was impressed by how quickly it absorbed, and although
there is biscuit scent that is often associated with fake tan, I was happy.
Mixed with the cocoa butter you actually end up smelling like cake, as my
boyfriend commented on night. I like the smell, I think it's quite nice but
others may not be a fan.
I woke up the next day to
not only discover that its claims of being a 'gradual' Tanner are slightly
understated but that it also provided a really even looking natural tan. After
only one use, I was impressed. The color built up really nicely over the next
week or so and I ended up with quite a significant change in skin color.
Considering that it is a moisturizer, the tanning ingredients pack a punch. I
also found that because it was a moisturizer the areas that usually look patchy
(elbows etc.) didn't.
I really love this product,
it's so easy to build a natural looking tan in only a few applications, and my
skin feels so soft after using it. There's so little effort involved in this
that it makes my tanning routine super easy.
Well, I hope this has been
informative.
Happy tanning?
Thank you for
reading.
