Garnier Summerbody Moisturising Lotion





























Now the sun has decided to actually show its face for the odd day or so, I've decided that my pale body could do with a good coat of colour. I am trying to stay off the sunbeds at the minute, and I really really hate spray tans, so I decided to opt for a gradual tanning moisturiser yet again. I've literally tried them ALL these past few years and I can honestly say I haven't really found one that I've been 100% happy with.

For one, most of them smell disgusting and I can literally smell it on my skin ALL DAY! This leads me to believe that other people can obviously smell it too, which slightly worries me. As well as that I find that a lot of them leave awful streaks or orangey patches on your skin, which trust me is not attractive when you're trying to pull off a tan. Well, I think I may have found the ultimate gradual tanning moisturiser that fits all my needs... Garnier Summerbody!

The moisturiser itself is white and there is no actual colour to it, which with the others isn't the case. I really do think this is a key factor in it not streaking or patching on my legs. An absolutely massive plus is that the moisturiser actually smells really nice! There is a slight smell but to me its nothing that is overpowering or would worry me about other people smelling it. The Dove Summer Glow product, for example, has the most awful odour and this is primarily the one that I could constantly smell when I used it. I've used this Garnier moisturiser a few times now and up to yet I am so impressed. It is also an amazing moisturiser and even after using it once my skin felt so soft and in such good condition.

I am going to do a little trial over the next few weeks with this product and track the progress of my 'gradual tan.' I'll do a little update every week and experiment with how tanned I end up! Hopefully this will stop me using the sun beds as an aid to my base tan before I leave for my holiday in June. Fingers crossed!

Do you use gradual tanning moisturisers? Which brand is your favourite?

    1. Me too! Its the absolute perfect thing for when you want a little bit of colour but don't want to have a major tan. I still use it now I do have a tan just to keep the colour a little longer! Absolute favourite :))

    1. I'd say this one is definitely my favourite! I think I've just about tried them all and I find that I get really horrible orange streaks with the others, even when I rub it in properly.
