SPF30 Nuxe Tanning Oil is just perfection
So my love of Nuxe products continues with Tanning Oil, it's super absorbant, does not leave a oily slick everywhere you sit and leaves your skin pleasantly fragranced and very soft. Although i've got mixed race skin I burn in just 10 minutes of sun in UK so I was optimistic at SPF30 if it was strong enough but both years I've used this on holiday abroad i've not had a single day of redness nor peeling and my tan lines have been apparent from day 2 of holiday. This year my eldest daughter by day 5 of our 10 day holiday had barely any tan using her alternative brand of sun protection that she was adamant that it was the best on the market blah blah blah - you know just how kids are they have to follow the latest trends, so I slathered her in my Nuxe (begrudgingly as it's mine and I'm so in love with it) and by day 7 she was sporting a golden tan with zero redness and has suffered no peeling. The proof is in the use - quality products work, skin protection is not a trend - we all go on a beach holiday for a tan and if we treat ourselves to a break in the sun we should be budgeting to treat ourselves to quality UV protection too. Hot tip if you are thinking of purchasing Nuxe Sun - look out for bundles on their website or other retailers as you can often get the sun oil with after sun cream for less when you buy the bundle. They also do a seasonal "sun" travel kit which contains enough products for a 5-7 day holiday.

smells gorgeous
This product is a summer staple for me, it smells really good, does help to tan (with prolonged and consistent use) and adds a little shimmer to skin as well as softness. I also use a strong suncream to protect from long exposure to sun, but this is great to keep in the bag and top up. 4 stars because you have to be careful, it does stain lighter coloured clothing a bit, and its tricky to wash out.

nice
i’ve been using this tan on my face for a while now i mix it in with my ordinary moisturiser and i gives a nice bronzed look, the only thing is i always forget to wash my hands after and it does stain and make my hands orange but other than that it’s perfect and my skin hasn’t broke out while using it.

Quick use
I am such a tanning virgin, I didn't know where to start, but I knew I couldn't keep looking like a ghost. I was intrigued by the thought of these drops and mixed them with my moisturiser. Although I didn't have any streaks, I don't think this one is dark enough for me. I'm pretty sure I used eight drops but this still wasn't a desired colour. Didn't really last well on my face either

Look at the tan/colour change???
I bought these drops from boots for around £12 I think? The first day I added directly to my face then realised I was doing it wrong, I use a few drops in the moisturiser so I have a nice glow incase I don’t want to use too much makeup BUT I didn’t think (when using the oil alone) and just wiped the excess from my fingers onto my thigh and look at the colour difference? (Especially the mark closer to my hand)! It takes about 6-8 hours to develop so this is what I woke up to 😂 It clearly does it’s job! It annoyingly looks like my thigh is dry and those two swipes are “moisturised” but it’s literally tan 😭

Bronzing oil from the gods!
Douvalls are a mother & daughter company who are the only uk company that use cold pressed Argan oil. I love the bronzing oil it's deeply hydrating and the oil gives you a glow the gods will be jealous of! These can be used before makeup or on there own. My skin looks amazing with this oil on, I put it all over when I use it, it looks so nice on my arms and legs as well as my face and neck and it's not greasy when it drys it stays on your skin!

Gorgeous colour
I tried this gradual tan body lotion, I was very excited as I’d seen good reviews on it. It was on offer and bought it! Firstly it’s very thin consistency, very light and thin. It smoothed over my arms and legs really nicely, I woke up with a gorgeous colour, it wasn’t orange, it wasn’t tacky like some usually feel, it was a gorgeous glowy colour. There were patches that weren’t quite even but overall I like it. It’s not my “go to” body tan but it’s nice.

Perfect Gradual Face Glow
I used the Notox Face Tanning Drops with my Jan Marini Transformation Face Cream, mixing in about 3 or 4 drops using the drop applicator. I then just massage it into my face and neck like any normal moisturiser. I did this as part of my usual morning and night-time skincare routine. I thought the Notox Face Tanning Drops were brilliant and gave me a lovely tanned glow. It was also great to have something that I could just add to my current skincare routine without having to replace anything!

Application
What’s the best way to apply? With a tanning mitt as not to stain nails or just fingers?

Both would work, but I find hands to work better, just be sure to use a face wipe or soap on them after, especially on fingertips
Perfect. Finish
This amazing product was sent from @vitaliberata & @thebeautybuddyapp in exchange for my honest reveiw. 💛💛 #thetanyourskinwants #awardwinningbeauty I am so in love with this product already and have been so excited for it to arrive. This is classed as tanning face blur and has a radiant feel and looks so highlighting on the skin. Contains ( SPF but won't protect against sunburn ) and my favourite Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Aloe & Shea butter for a glowing, perfect complexion. 💛💛 It has a great coverage but not quite as full as foundation but it has that sort of feel to it. I'm not surprised this range has won awards and claims to cover imperfections and leave skin looking sun kissed. 😍 I love the applicator wand and it has a thick spongey end that delivers just the right amount of product. As with most tinted tanning products it has the a similar sort of scent and my skin looks better wearing this alone than with foundation. 💛💛 Leaves a sheen highlighting affect but without the shinyness that some have and i will follow with more photo's of me wearing this as i really do love this and will enjoy using. 💛💛

Amazing
I'm in love with this! I've got super fair skin and it gives such a natural looking tan. Silky lotion that's so easy to apply and just fades off, no horrible patches. It's never gone streaky or patchy on me either, just amazing.

Gives a beautiful natural color
These are really rays of sunshine in a bottle. I mix the drops into my day cream and after a few hours I have a nice tinted color. If I want a stronger effect, I use the drops directly on my skin without mixing. Gives a super nice sunkissed color. And that without sun damage. Highly recommended!

Will use this product till I die
This BB cream has been my fav product for about 3 years now! I absolutely adoreee it! My skin looks so so good and glowy and it protects from the sun at THE SAME TIME. Obsessed honestly. * pic if me this summer after having just applied it

You'll smell like a snack
This smells incredibly and it's perfect to put on your body after waxing, or after moisturizing to lock in the moisture. I do not use it as an SPF because I find it way too low for me, but omg the scent is to die for!!

Perfect for ☀️ days
I would really recommend the sun perfect fluid to everyone. I myself recently discovered this product and became a fan of it. On vacation, I wore this every day instead of makeup because it is a beautifully tinted fluid that covers dark spots.

No. 1 geur spf crap!
Lancaster is the sunscreen brand. I usually use skin and face creams all the time. These have a freely present passion fruit scent, delicious by the way! But now I'm smoking this mist for the first time, I'm enjoying it. A mix between Chanel Gabrielle, Thierry Mugler Alien flora futura and Dior J'adore d'Eau (for the experts). The syringe is great, the bottle is great, the smell is great and it works. I'm a fan!

Nice tan
I now fully understand the hype about these tanning drops. You have to know how to deal with it. For me, it works best to mix it with my day cream. Even on my light skin, the color turns nice brown and not orange. The ready lasts for a few days and fades beautifully. Well, wash your hands after use, I found out haha.

Nice touch
These tooth drops are really great. I use this about once a week and have the idea that the touch is actually on display all week. The only disadvantage of this is that your hands also tan immediately, especially between your fingers, so wash your hands immediately if you use this.

Magic
I'm really pleasantly surprised. No sticking, no pumpkin effect (orange color) and not the typical self-tanning smell. Really subtle, healthy color. It's like you've really been in the sun. I took it for after the holidays to keep the tan for a bit and as I said it was really great. I wear it pure on my skin in the evening before going to bed.

Self tanner
Wow what a super self-tanner this is. It doesn't stain, you can see the brownness for a few days. You will not be orange-brown, but really natural brown. I have sensitive skin and often get irritated skin from self-tanners. This one doesn't bother me!
