Nivea Body Lotion Bronze Effect
Nivea body bronzing balm provides incredible hydration. The effects after several uses are very natural, which is an ideal solution for someone who likes a natural tan. I am very pleased with the effect of the balm and I will definitely buy another package. I recommend🧡🤎

Protected to the beach!
Nivea has amazing products, like this sunscreen. I always use spf 30 for my light skin and I never got burned with this sunscreen of Nivea. Just as long as you apply it frequently, especially after a swim, you’ll see that your skin stays hydrated and soft. The bronzer inside gives you a nice tan that stays for months.

Best Self Tanner Glow
Gives the perfect glow and wears off in a natural/gradual way. It doesn’t smell typical self tanner and does not stain on clothes. It can stain on sheet if you sleep with it, so would recommend using a towel underneath to be on the safe side:) I use the self tan both winter and summer, and it matches my skin tone and gives me the perfect glow ✨

Yes, but...
It works well. The only thing is the smell is pretty intense. Nonetheless, is easy to use, easy to apply, quick and good results. Recommendation: Apply in the evening and shower next morning. Otherwise the smell becomes to strong to keep it all day long!

Bondi sands self tanner review
I buy self tanners every year, since I am extremely pale and this one has to be one of the best. The smell is better than other tanners, but you can still distinguish the specific self tanner smell. It works best with the foam glove since it helps you apply the product evenly. Sometimes I do get a bit of yellowish color on my ankles and elbows but its not that noticable. Overall, my go-to self tanner but still trying to find a 5-star worth tanner.

Tan luxe drops
The most what I like on this product is smell, which is nice, gentle and fruity. I've put few drops on my face before sleeping and I woke up dark orange brown. You can see on the picture the colour I got after applying one drop.. It was a bit shocking, too dark and not egzactly the colour I wanted. I wouldn't recommend it and I am not gonna buy it again. Absurdity in this product is that it lasts the longest of all self tanners I' ve tried ...8 days now and I still can't take it off fully.

Subtle tan for pale skin
I always wear spf so my face & neck don't tan with the rest of my body. I was nervous to try a fake tan in case it turned orange or streaky but this product gives the most subtle tanned glow. I apply it once every few days and it builds beautifully without transferring or wearing off patchy. Definitely a new summer staple!

Overrated self tanner
First of all, the price of this self tanner is in my opinion to high (36€). Considering the average results it gives, I would rate him with a 3/5. Smell isn't so bed at the beginning but as soon as you reach 3rd hour or leave it longer, it has that well known self tenner smell. Not so unbearable because once you had your shower it's gonne. The colour of the mousse is nice olive but it has nothing to do with a tan you gonna get. At least in my experience (my Naturale tan is very light) I got medium dark, orange/brown colour. Application is one of the things which I liked, it goes easily and smoothly and more, less you can see which part you applied. Results from the beginning are only there 2 days , cause allready on the 3rd day it starts to washes off and disappears not so evenly I would say. So on 4th day I had to scrubb and take 3 showers and pillings to remove all lefted stains. Honestly, next time I'll choose a different brand.

Glowy skin!
My favourite day to day base. I use it everyday for a natural, glowy skin. As its a bronzing gel its not going to transfer so its mask proof but it evens the skin tone while giving a really beautiful glow. Personally i think it works best with cream/liquid bronzers and blush and it makes it blend really well together. If you have a bit of redness or roseaca it probably wont work for you as it is very warm toned so might make it look redder. Worth every penny!

Morphe- Faux Show self tan
I’ve been using this once every 2 weeks and it’s given my face SUCH a natural glow. It smells amazing and you can see a difference after a few hours. I mix 2-3 drops with my face lotion at night and I have had no bad reaction to it even with my sensitive skin.

One of the best self-tanners.
I am extremely critical about self-tanners. Many people don't do anything to me or stink. This one is great! Received a few days ago (was finally back in stock, was so curious about this) I immediately tried a layer in the evening. That was a little too cautious because I didn't see much. I did 2 coats the next day, that was last night. At work today, people asked me if I just came back from vacation. Such a nice smooth color, love it! It doesn't stink, it doesn't give off, no stripes, not orange. Can't say anything about the shelf life yet but was so enthusiastic that I wanted to write my review in advance. Recommended. It's just a shame that it's quite expensive for a small amount.

And what do you think about the shelf life of the selftan now? 😊
I won't get it again.
The product gives an orange tone and stains very quickly, it is harder to apply because there is no pigment in it, so you can stain faster, I would recommend the self-tanner from bondi sands, which has a nice cool tone and is easy to apply.

SELFTAN SOFIA MAE
best self tan I've ever used! Get compliments on the fact that it looks like I've been on vacation. And not orange either. Would definitely recommend it and is also easy to use, but you should let it soak in properly for a good result.

Good spreadable product
Personally, I really liked this product. The sunscreen feels very light and spreads well on the skin without leaving a greasy layer. Plus, it absorbs quickly, which is ideal if you're in a hurry or don't want to wait long before you can get dressed. I also noticed that it kept my skin well hydrated throughout the day without causing irritation, even on sensitive areas of my skin. The scent is subtle and fresh, which I really liked. In addition, it offers excellent sun protection, even during extended periods outdoors. All in all, this is a sunscreen that not only performs well, but is also pleasant to use. Definitely recommended!

Handy, but also a lot of waste
To quickly keep up with your sun protection, it is a nice product. What I didn't realize beforehand, however, is that part of the product does not end up on your skin, but evaporates. In addition, I wanted to use it on my face, but that's not allowed. Presumably due to harmful substances. That's why I stick to a standard sunscreen and a separate cream for my face.

favourite
I noticed how quickly this product absorbs into the skin. The product is quite thin, making it easy to spread. Once applied, the skin smells really good. In addition, I noticed that it is not greasy at all! I would personally really use and buy this product repeatedly.

Vacation favorite
I tested this sunscreen on my last vacation in Greece. Nice packaging. Product spreads well. You don't need a lot of product. I'm a big fan of 2in1 products, so I really love the fact that I protect my skin and get a nice tan! Doesn't feel sticky. Still in good shape after swimming:)

Super easy to spread
I brought this sunscreen to Thailand for a 3-week sun vacation together with the Australian gold bronze sunscreen. The difference between the two is that nivea smells a lot more like sunscreen, which I really love and it spreads more easily. I didn't necessarily notice the difference in bronze. The sunscreen leaves no white haze and spreads easily. Highly recommended! And not burned! 🤣

Perfect SPF
I myself am a very big fan of the nivea creams and spf anyway. So I absolutely love this spf with bronzing!! It spreads very easily and makes your skin soft, hydrated and shiny! I would definitely recommend it for a vacation or in the summer. In the picture, one half is with (right) and the other without the cream (left)

Nivea sun protect and bronze spf
The Nivea sun protect & bronze is a nice light sun spray that you hardly need to apply. I think it's an easy way to protect myself from the sun. The product is easy to apply and because it is a spray, it spreads easily over the body. The ray of sunshine also has a lovely scent. I would recommend buying this product.
