Johnsons holiday skin

[Urchin]

I bought some for the first time yesterday cos it was half price in tescos.

Who uses it? is it any good?
Do you have to put it on everyday?
How long before you see a difference?

I found it tanned me quite quickly and worked well in certain areas but it made my legs go streaky though - I did exfoliate and shave them so dont know why it happened.
It made my skin lovely though and smelt gorgeous.

Im using garnier one now instead.

coicidence.....i was just saying (to myself lol) that im gonna put some of it on this weekend! ive used it before, and cos im so white, it shows up really well!

i had to really exfoliate and scrub well though, cos one time i forgot and it went veeeeeeeerrrryyyy streaky on me legs! every1 laughed their heads off at me in the pub


OMG if you're gonna treat urself, try a spray tan or st tropez, ive had them done for special occassions like birthdays etc and you feel like a tanned goddess haha!! maybe treat ursel and get a massage while ur in the salon teehee x x x x

I've used it in the past and I did notice a difference. I didn't colour up like I would in the sun, but I did gain a definate glow

makes me go strippy but I'm as pale as the come...one shade off albino It was the product that made me accept myself fully and that I will never ever be tanned

I'm pale too and it looked too dark on me

Oh and I mucked it up

It's ok, but I prefer the Loreal Nutri Summer one. It goes on really nice and never streaks!

I've found that the best way to use the Johnsons one it to go get a St Tropez spray tan, and then start using the holiday skin the next day, it keeps your tan for agggggeeeesssssss!

Top tips for using it -

Wear disposable gloves and apply it all over in big long strokes. Then really rub it in. Once you've done your whole body go back to the first bit you did and smooth it all in again with big long round about strokes. Then, b4 you take the gloves off, add a bit extra to your bum, then take the gloves off and rub the backs of your hands and fingers over your bum. Means you don't get too much on your hands and scare the kids!

ditto. I looked like a satsuma but i too am milk white!

 

[Urchin]

so when does it show up? right away or after a few days of using it?

I'm using the Garnier Summer Body one just now and love it - no streaks and it builds up really well without making you orange - I too am very white skinned.

I think it depends on how dark your skin is naturally... I am quiet pale and if I put it on in the evening one day, when I get up the next I have a nice "glow" to me and then build it up gradually everyday.

I used last summer, took a few days/applications to start showing a glow and looked ok to start with, after the glow had started to appear though the colour went from glowing to more and more orange/funny looking with each application. I stopped using it with a bit in the bottle left, gave the 2nd one away (they were buy one get one free).

I know it sounds pretty obvious but make sure you are naked when applying it and that it dries completely before getting dressed. I ruined a couple of bras because it stained them!

 

[trixipaws]

its good, but if u dont use it for a few days u end up a bit patchy-frog! it works after 2-3 days

makes me go strippy but I'm as pale as the come...one shade off albino It was the product that made me accept myself fully and that I will never ever be tanned

same here lol it made me full on orange, or full on white on the bits that for whatever reason didn't take on the colour... so I was orange and white... lurvely look

but i know it works for most people really well x

 

[Urchin]

can you put a little bit on your face? or not?

 

[trixipaws]

dunno i spose so but i think there are special ones for ur face?

oh following what squig and shell said, i find i need to use it every other day, rather than every day, to look nice or else it does build up too much and look a bit orange! make sure ur exfoliated or else the dry bits soak up more than the other bits (or is it other way around? either way makes patchy!)

 

[leckershell]

can you put a little bit on your face? or not?

they do a special face one (in the middle), the actual tube inside the box looks like a foundation tube, sort of square with a square turning bit to open it. if you know what i mean.

usually next to where you would have found the body one...

i put some of the body one on my face and it went orange, but so did the rest of me so i'm probably not a good trial runner to take advice from i think the face one is milder, less tanning stuff in. or it could just be hype.

I used that last Sat night. I wasn't expecting much of a difference tbh when I put a layer on after my bath. I slapped on another layer when it was dry just incase it gave me a hint of a tan.....

well the next morning when I woke up my feet looked like someone had wiped a used teabag over them It worked faster than I thought it would!

 

[skimpy]

dont apply too much!!!

I found that when i did that (to get brown quicker ) it made my skin sweat, and the smell is not that pleasant when you do that
