I had to seek advice from an NHS doctor and pharmacist and had to take anti-histamines and hydrocortisone cream.

I am now having to use a strong steroid cream from my GP to sort it the extremely itchy, painful rash. Fast-absorbing with easy, uniform application, this hydrating Vegan* gradual self tan is like summer in a bottle! I found that while it did take the glare off my luminous white skin, it didn’t really make me look “tanned” and I’d have preferred something a little darker, which I didn’t have to apply so often. There’s no denying, Garnier Summer Body smells a helluva lot nicer than most fake tans, which tend to have that slight smell of feet about them. Suitable for dry skin, this moisturiser, enriched with Apricot Oil intensively hydrates all day long leaving your skin feeling soft and supple with a glowing even tan.I have had exactly the same problem - in over 30 years I have never suffered a reaction to a beauty product or hair dye etc. For ease, Harknett stresses its importance, “Tanning mitts enable you to have control over the displacement of the tan across your skin - without colouring the palms of your hands. At first I kept using it until the bottle was empty incase it was any other product doing the damage until I used it on its own and it was still happening.

When you’ve got pale skin, a gradual tan is a great way to work up the colour so you don’t wake up with a shock or orange hands. Prevents the damage of skin cell from UV rays and keep maintaining the moisture and texture of body very well. I didn’t make the connection until I used it again last night and the same thing happened only it has spread down my whole arm too. INGREDIENTS: AQUA / WATER, DIMETHICONE, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, GLYCERIN, STEARYL ALCOHOL, ALCOHOL DENAT. I have sensitive skin but thought this product would be suitable as it claims to be for sensitive skin but clearly not.While it has its good points (which we’ll talk about later), for me it was just too subtle, even on my lily-white skin.

It requires a carefully curated multi-step routine that begins in the shower with prep and a good body scrub, followed by head to toe moisturisation and ending with a blending brush to remove those tell-tale steaks.Directly before applying the tan, moisturise the areas of skin where tan can cling to, such as back of the heels, the feet, elbows and hands. I applied this a few days ago to my legs,arms and neck and I now have an itchy red rash around my neck that is lumpy and inside my arms and back of legs! I have had to sit at work in so much discomfort until l could rush home to take some anti allergy tablets and try and wash it all off. Apricot oil is at the heart and we have this ingredient to thanks for the highly moisturising formula.

It normally take a few applications to build up, so I usually start applying it everyday for 3days before the day I want it to look best for.

Follow your typical cleanse and exfoliator with a few drops of this natural tanning product from Beauty Pie and a sunny demeanor will follow. Developed for the sensitive face area, our formula with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E offers very high SPF protection to help prevent sun induced dark spots, while protecting skin from pollution induced oxidative stress. I remember the feeling now, all these years later: the smugness on my face on the school playground when my friends cooed at my tan. While it has the texture and thus the ease of application of a classic lotion, the bronze glow that it leaves you with begins to develop in just one hour.
