Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream

Clarins have always had great self-tanners and this is no exception. It really is lovely to apply – the texture is beautiful, as with all Clarins products – and the smell is pleasant too. The colour guide is a light caramel colour; enough that you can see if you’ve missed any bits, but not so dark or scary that you couldn’t go out after applying it. The final colour result is just a little darker than a gradual tanner or “tanneriser”, but perhaps not as dark as a full strength tanner like St Tropez or Fake Bake. For this reason you can also use it on the face (which I did and it came out great). I had good intentions of passing this on to Celeste to try after I’d used it once, but I liked it so much I kept it (sorry C!). I’d highly recommend this for tanning newbies, as it’s pretty much impossible to stuff it up and you can always apply another coat if you want to build up the colour.

i would have never thought of Clarins as a fake tan brand. This product is not out there enough! It is fantastic. Great natural colour, which is so light on the skin and easy to apply.

It's official! I love love love this stufff!!!! My favorite fake tan ever. No joke. Application is a dream, it comes with a handy scoop and it smooths on to the skin like a half cream half gel. It's nice and hydrating and makes myskin soft. This morning I woke up a beautiful natural chocolate brown colour- no orange here! Also, for just about the first time ever I didn't wake up streaky! Miracle! I will continue to buy this over and over again :D

Love this. For pale skinned girls though go lightly - the colour is quite strong though a natural tan colour and it does streak if not applied carefully. That said it is easy to apply and the tan lasts a long time - you just have to make sure your rub it in properly.

I use this on my face every day, which maintains a nice light colour, and moisturises me beautifully also. I marked expensive"on the cons, as it is in the pricier bracket of tanners, but if you think of it as a facial moisturiser, then the value becomes pretty good. It also goes on well as a body tanner, but I did find it tended to go a little streaky as it wore off over time. (This is what happens with most self - tanners and my legs however, so maybe it is just me !) Love the smell, love the feel, and my skin looks good also so have to say I love the moisture it gives. I didn't like the jar packaging at first as I was used to a tube with other products, but I have adapted to it now (I have been using the product for 2 years) and don't have any problem with it. I expect, however, that if I dropped the jar when it was open there might be a few tears :-)

If you're looking for a natural-looking tan that fades evenly, then this is it!

It's like a moisturiser to apply - rich and creamy - and dries with a lovely even tan. I'd recommend applying this the day before an event, to allow the colour to fully develop. I'd say you get a good 5 days of tan per application, which is pretty impressive. It's around a medium shade once developed. I've told a few people about this product, and received great feedback from all of them :-)
