Don't you just wish that gradual tanning lotions came with a colour guide? Normal fake tan comes in both varieties so why can't gradual tan have a hint of bronzer, suitable for daytime wear, but lets you know exactly where you have applied it?
As you may have already guessed from reading my blog, I am a fake tan fan. No surprise there. Yet when I'm faced with time constraints, or simply don't want to go all out with the tan I do love some gradual tan. There's nothing better than applying it in the morning, and by the time your home from work you've developed a subtle glow.
My go to gradual tan has been, for some time now, the Dove Summer Glow. In recent months I had read a few reviews on Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronzer and being a tanning addict I knew I had to try it.
If you love the smell of Palmers Cocoa Butter products then your guaranteed to love this. It smells amazing, better than the Dove Summer Glow. I always find the Dove lotion to have a pleasant smell but the Palmers lotions smelt like all their other products, it's an uplifting scent that reminds me of holidays.
I used the Palmers Cocoa Butter in the same manner that I use the Dove gradual tan but the results that night were quite disappointing. I was very streaky, but the colour was a lovely golden hue. Undeterred by this result I tried again, once the previous application was off. The results again, very streaky, I am quite disappointed by this. I then put the Dove Summer Glow to the test, applying it in the same manner, to find an even golden coverage that night, keeping the Dove lotion in top spot for my go to gradual tanning lotion.
What's your favourite brand of gradual tan? How do you apply it to make sure you don't have streaks? Leave comments below, I'd love to know.
