Tanatomicals Natural Look Tanning Cream

Available at Superdrug for £6.99

Who doesn't love a nice tan approaching the summer months? I for one, get my legs out at the first sniff of sunshine, so a good tanning product is a must in my beauty routine. I have a little stash of various tanning products which I tend to use for different occasions. There's the instant tan for spontaneous nights out or good weather, the super dark mousse for big nights and then there's the gradual tanners, perfect for maintaining a summer glow. This product is somewhere in between the gradual tanner and the 'develops-overnight'. It's not quite as dark as the usual overnight tans, but neither is it as subtle as the gradual tan.

The product itself is a fairly thick cream that applies very easily over the body, just be sure to rub it in thoroughly and prep dry areas beforehand. There is no guide colour so just make sure the product is applied carefully. Surprisingly, especially for a cheaper tan, the smell is absolutely beautiful. There is none of the usual 'biscuit' smell with this, just a summery pina colada scent that makes using this a joy. Several hours later you may catch a faint whiff of the dreaded biscuit smell, but it is really very faint. Give it overnight to develop and you will be left with a lovely golden glow. Personally, I like to reapply in the morning for a deeper colour (mainly on my legs) but this is only really necessary if you like a darker colour.

I have never experienced any streaking or unevenness with this, but I do spend a good amount of time rubbing this into the skin. This is my favourite tanning product at the moment, as it leaves the skin looking as if (as the packaging refers to) I've spent a fortnight in Ibiza.
