Was I dreaming?

Hey all
Was watching TV the other day and saw an advert for a moisturising lotion that had self-tanner kinda built in? Basically it had a tint and over a few days as you moisturised after showers etc, the colour built up. Trouble is, my mum was talking to me at the same time and I didn't catch who it was by.....
......and there's also the fact that I went out looking for it the other day and couldn't find anything like it, so I'm beginning to think I made it up! (If I did, THE COPYRIGHT'S MINE!!)
Did I invent it? Can I make MILLIONS?! Or am I just gonna be soft and brown soon?

it only works to help you keep your tan after you have a bit of one, if you put it on you when your totally white you just go a strange orangy yellow colour
The Boots stuff is different. The Johnsons stuff is only just in the shop and is on buy one get one free in Boots at the mo I think.
They're £4.99, buy one get one free.
I'm not usually a big fan of fake tan, as I never seem to be able to apply it on right without it streaking but I just got bored of being really pale. And using this has been brilliant, it's just giving me a nice light tan to help me stop looking like casper. Doesn't look orange. Actually very natural looking. I love it.
As the girl said above, so long as you exfoliate well every time you get showered, then apply your holiday tan on, it work surprising quickly, and you just top up when you feel your losing your colour or want to go a little darker.
Thumbs up from me :thumb:
Anyway...can you use this holiday skin stuff on your face? Im always worried about have a tanned body but a pale face when using fake tan! hehe
i think you can. I have been anyway
I use fake tan on my body cos i'm deathly pale but i've never dared to do my face in case it looks awful and i can't get it off. This sounds like the perfect solution. I've used it once on my face with a slight colour change but i guess you need to use to a few times for it to come through properly
wouldn't it work if you just mixed fake tan with moisturiser?
i tried a couple of times but it just went horribly wrong.
use.
love.
is that the black bar? I got a box set thing for my birthday, and its got this black exfoliating bar in, and its so good. Apart from leaving the shower all black!
im a ball of paste that doent tan easily, so i got funny stuff and shoved it all over, but did fuck all, so put some more on when i got home and then realised that parts of me were tanned (like my feet and areas of my arms) but the rest of me was still paste, even though i spent ages rubbing it in easily and expholiated first, so i guess parts of skin just colour easily. AND also cus i spent ages rubbing it in, the majorty of it went into the palm of my hands and even though i spent ages trying to wash it off, in certain lights and compared to the rest of my face they look BRIGHT orange, and i've scrubbed and even tryed bleaching them and THEY WONT GO NORMAL COLOURED. Once more my feet are tanned, which in some light looks bright orange, but the majoirty of my legs and thighs are still WHITEEEEEEEEE (but again orange in some light) and theres little difference in the rest of my body.
HOW DO I GET IT OFF MY HANDS? they ment to be pale. And how are you suposed to apply without it making hands orange. IT SHOULD COME WITH GLOVES. Kick Jonsons. They just selling you what you want.. u should jsut go to a tanning place and lie on boring bed... or just become a goth and endorse the paste. HELP ME

i know st. tropez do a version of them but you should be able to pick up some cheaper ones in Boots.
No that one is called 'You Snap the Whip' and it is all blackcurranty and delicious, and leaves your skin so smooth... It does make a little bit of a mess though!
And Zella, those gloves from the Body Shop do a great job of exfoliating, and they are so easy to use.
I have found that too
I have seen it in Sainsbury's...
