When Isle of Paradise asked if I'd like to try some of their tanning products, obviously I said yes!
They sent me the Self Tanning Mousse & the Self Tanning Drops - beforehand having asked what shade I'd like (light, medium or dark) I'm one for more of a natural look when it comes to tan, less is more and all that, so I chose the light shade.
The brand is founded by Jules Von Hep, what you need to know is he created Kate Moss’ gorgeous glow when she posed for St Tropez. Not sold yet?!
Jules' years of experience have taught him that everyone’s skin tone is different and there's not one tan to fit all. So the range he has created reflects this.
There’s a peach one for light tans that brightens dull skin and gives a subtle glow, green for a medium tan that counteracts red undertones for a golden finish and violet, which is the darkest tan and it brightens skin and give a rich bronzed goddess glow - think 2 weeks in the Maldives tan!
If that's not enough - it's vegan, cruelty free and organic!
The tanning drops can be mixed with any cream of your choice - body lotion, night cream, or your day cream, the more drops you add, the more intense the tan will be. I mixed 10 - 12 drops with my body cream at night, and here 's the good old before and after shot;
I love the natural, golden glow this gave my legs, it didn't look like fake tan at all and lasted a good few days before fading away without becoming patchy.
The drops retail for £19.99 and are available to purchase here They are also available at Boots & Beauty Bay.
Have you started fake tanning for Summer yet?
