I've so fussy with fake tanners, as most of them smell awful and leave you super orange or patchy.
I've only used Fake Bake tanners for the last 2 years, as their colour is much more natural, never streaks or goes patchy, and smells pretty nice for a fake tanner too. They're so ridiculously easy to use as well, they're just very pricey.
I've never had a problem with spending money on a fake tanner, as if I'm going to use one, I want it to look as natural as possible, or it's a complete waste of money. The bottle of Fake Bake spritz also lasts for ages.
I'd tried out the Caribbean Tan gradual tanning spray a while back and been completely underwhelmed by it. I ended up chucking out the can halfway through, as it just didn't work for me, and I didn't want to pass it on to anyone else.
When I had a browse through the Caribbean Tan products one day at Dischem, I thought maybe I should give them a second chance, as they're a quarter of the price of my Fake Bake tanner. I figured that I'd try out the spritzer version this time, as I'd been so happy with the Fake Bake version.
The tanner comes with a mitt so you can smooth out any areas. It has instant colour to it, so you can see where you've applied it, and it smells fairly decent for a tanner. Once you've applied it, it'll develop for the next 8 hours, so you can't shower for 8 hours at least.
I chose the B (white/beige) and it was a perfect transition colour from winter to summer - not as deep as the Fake Bake tanner I've been using, but still really natural and not orange at all. I think I'll buy the darker one soon, so that I can go a bit deeper next time.
It also lasts on the skin really well, and just fades naturally, like a real tan would.
great product! it gives a nice color so you dont have to worry about being yellow and you dont have to apply much and its easy to do your self . the tin can last long if you use it properly and the tan if well looked after lasts a good week, just dont scrub too much in the bath and also make sure to scrub and clean nicely before applying it. moisturizing daily also helps prolong the tan and keep it even. great price for a easy DIY summer look .
My first self tanner was the tanning spritzer from Caribbean Tan Self, and what an awesome product! I am quite surprised at how easy this is to apply and I didn't find it messy at all! So my first experience with a self tanner was quite pleasant (I expected it to be very messy!)
I really absolutely loved this tanner! It was easy to apply and the product itself goes far. I ended up using only half a bottle for mt full tan and my tan came out great! My tan lasted me 8 days, which would probably have lasted longer if I used the Caribbean Tan care products, but overall I am very impressed with how long it lasted.
I am quite pale, yet this product is easy to use, affordable does not streak if you apply it correctly as well as does not have a yellow tinge. Overall a great self tanning product and definitely recommend.
I have never tried self-tan as I naturally tan easily but recently I was feeling a little left out when we were set to have a get together and all my freends had been spending time in the sun, when my tolerance for the sun as of late is close to zero! I decided to give this a try but was petrified I would look like one of those girls from Jersey Shore. I am so happy I tried this! I had no streaking and no orange (To my relief) I followed the instructions, and yes - exfoliated before. I had my mom help me to make sure it was evenly applied. The best part is, I could go tanning without looking so white - and gradually got my own tan.
Great product for instant colour to darken skin. Builds a stunning gradual bronze tan. Direct spray onto the skin with little mess. Using the mitt provided, you are able to control the intensity & coverage of your Caribbean Tan. Can last up to 2 weeks. Only problem i have with this product is it does not fade evenly. But easy to remove.
I love this product. I am extremely pale and I don't tan, I just get freckles. I love that the colour change is immediate. Firstly, I can 'tan and go' and secondly, I can make sure that I've applied it evenly. As with all self tan products you do need to make sure that you moisturise areas like knees and elbows beforehand. I do not go orange at all, the colour is lovely and bronze.
