Do any of you lovely ladies find yourself applying multiple layers of
fake tan to achieve that desired deep golden glow? Layer after layer and it us
still unpredictable whether or not you will have that dark tan you want? Not
just is it time consuming , it is also a waste of your fake tan. Well fear not
as I have found our solution.
I have been on the search for a fake tan which only requires one
application leaving my skin with an even, dark and deep colour. This is
something which I find other tans lack as I find myself applying layers of tan
over a number of days and still it is not guaranteed I will get the colour I
want. I have tried some amazing tans which I love but they are just not dark
enough. I have a very pale complexion and this is the reason it takes so much
tan to cancel the cool tones of my skin. In no way am I saying that there is a
problem with pale skin because there is certainly not. This is just a personal
preference.
If any of you have read my post on My
Top 5 Fake Tans then you will know that Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan is one
of my favourites. It always gives amazing results and is so affordable unlike a
lot of other fake tans. My only problem was the dark colour that it claims to
develop over 3 hours was just not dark enough. For some, it may be too dark or
just right but I had to apply multiple layers to get a noticeable darker
colour. So you can imagine how delighted I was when Marissa Carter (Creator of
Cocoa Brown) launched the new Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan in DARK along with
numerous other new tanning products.
This is a
mousse formula which I like to apply with a tanning mitt after exfoliating and
moisturizing the skin the night before. Cocoa Brown tan goes on so well as the
mousse turns more liquidy when applied to the skin. In comparison to the
original formula this is a lot darker and you are instantly left with a glow. I
like this as it allows you to see any patches or spots you may have missed.
This tan dries a lot faster than others that I have dried which is great
allowing you to get dressed a short while after the tan application. It is
recommended to shower after 1 hour for a dark bronze colour (which may be the
equivalent to 3 hours of the original formula) , 2 hours for a chocolate colour
or the next shade up or 3 hours for an intense deep tan. After only one
application I left it for the 3 hours. It is not a necessity to shower after
unless you are within the 1 or 2 hour time frame. This tan stopped developing
after the 3 hours and I was delighted with the outcome. I am so happy I have
found this and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a darker
tan without applying multiple layers. This saves time and your fake tan. I
picked up a bottle in Penneys last week for €6.90 but can also be found in
pharmacies nationwide. (R.R.P. €7.99)
Thanks for
