Top Low Cost Self-Tan's
Self-Tanning Lotions Reviewed
My daughter Jennifer uses self-tanning lotions at least once every month, because she needs to have the tanned look when she enters a dance competition, through trial and error we have finally found one that works well, does not streak and does not leave her with an orange glow, finding a natural looking tan at a reasonable price has been a long process but we have finally found the one that works best for her.
Before I list the top five that we have found I must stress that different self-tanning lotions work differently with different skin tones. Jennifer is very fair skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes and is prone to sunburn rather than getting a tan.
Avon self tan mouse
Self tanning can be a tricky process, and it can be difficult to put it on evenly without streaks or blotching, maybe you should enlist the help of a friend or family member for those hard to reach areas of your body and to ensure that you have an even coating.
5) Garnier Ambre Solaire Gloss Bronzer £5.99
Although this was a very convincing tan it left a lot of blotches all over, the color would have been perfect had it been even, the price was good but this one stays on the shelf.
Verdict 5/10
4) L'Oreal Self-Tan Spray £8.00
This was quite good with very little streaking, but needed two coats to look like a convincing tan.
The tan was a little orange but apart from that it did a good job and Jennifer felt confident enough to dance wearing it.
Verdict 7/10
3) Fake Bake self tanning lotion £25.99
Great natural looking tan, and no blotches or streaks, the only drawback
is the cost, there are others out there that do as good a job but are
easier on the pocket.
Verdict 8/10 the cost loses this 1 a point
2) Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan Make Up £5.00
Great natural looking tan, no streaking, no blotching, and easy on the pocket, the only drawback though was that it needed two applications before the look was achieved.
Verdict 8/10 beats fake bake only because of the cost.
1) Avon Bronze Self Tanning Mouse £4.50
Very good tan , even, natural and most importantly very cheap , Avon self tanning mouse is easy to apply and one coat is enough, Jennifer looks like she has been laying on a sunny beach for a week when she is wearing it.
Verdict 9/10

Self Tanning
Self Tans are also good for moisturising your skin and they give protection from the sun, of course they are much safer to use than a sunbed which has the extra risk of skin cancer.
Everyone has their own favorite products but it does pay to shop around you may just find that their is a cheaper version of your favorite lotion at a fraction of the price.
