*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Its that time of year again where we are getting closer to the warmer weather and holidays in sunny climates are on the horizon and I will be getting my pale and pasty legs out again, which haven't seen the light of day since last summer.  I must admit I don't really tan very well anyway, so even if the sun's out I need a bit of help to get that sun-kissed glow.  Step in St Moriz Luxury Creme Whipped Mousse*.   Its easy to apply, with either an applicator mitt or glove and then just blend well in circular motions.  You can use this on your body and face. Make sure you bend your knees and elbows to avoid streaks.  Make sure its dry before dressing and then your tan will start to develop after 1 hour.  It will continue to develop for up to 8 hours so depending on your preference just wash off when you get the tan you are looking for.   It contains Vitamin E to lock in hydration and ...

   *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. Regular readers of my blog will know how much I enjoy using St. Moriz Tanning products, so I wanted to share some more products from this brand.  The St. Moriz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion* gives you a choice of how tanned you become.  If you leave this product on for 1 hour you will have a light sun-kissed glow, leave it on for 2 hours for a golden glow and 3 hours for a deeper bronzed tone.  I love this product because some days you just want a light tan for a fresh, healthy glow and other times you want to go all out with a deeper tanned look. Its so simple to use as you just wash away the guide colour once you have achieved the colour tone you are aiming for. Brilliant. The St. Moriz Spray Tan In A Can* in the shade medium is a 360 degree spray that makes it easy to reach all those awkward to reach areas of your body. It dries within minutes and the tan begins to develop after 1 hour and will cont...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have tried a few St. Moriz tanning products recently and I really like this reasonably priced brand that makes self tanning really easy. I have now tried the St. Moriz Miracle Tanning Serum* and its a product that I really enjoyed using.  First of all I have never used a tanning serum before, so I was interested to see how it worked. This serum contains collagen boosting, skin firming hyaluronic acid for extra hydration and a smooth feel. It helps to reduce the effects of aging and reduce skin imperfections and I am all about that right now. This serum gives an instant glow and then gradually builds into a lovely bronzed glow. This product was easy to use and produced a streak free tan and left my skin feeling nourished and hydrated. It is recommended that you exfoliate 24 hours before application and then use a small amount on a tanning mitt to blend into the skin.  You can use this on your face and body which i...

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I have reviewed St. Moriz self tanning products* a few months ago which you can read  here and it's definitely one of my favourite self tanning brands, so I was happy to try out a few more of their products. The St. Moriz Colour Correct Medium Tanning Mousse* is a self tanner with olive undertones which helps to neutralise any red tones in the skin. Its transfer resistant and the instant colour lasts all day and then washes off to reveal a natural, just back from your holidays, sunkissed tan, which leaves you glowing even on the most rainy, dull day here in the UK. It contains chamomile, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 ensuring that your skin feels hydrated after using this product. Its recommended that you exfoliate and shave 24 hours prior to using this product, then simply apply the mousse using the St. Moriz Velvet Tanning Mitt *, using a circular motion on your body and face, to blend the product into your skin....

I was pleased to receive St. Moriz Gradual Tan & Protect Cream * to try out.  Now as a person who doesn't tan well (even in this heatwave we are having in the UK and even when I have been on a 2 week holiday in Orlando), fake tan is a product that I need if I want to have any chance of a decent tan in the summer.  I must admit though that the last time I used fake tan it was by accident, as I pinched one of my sisters moisturisers to use on my elbows and a couple of days later she asked me why my elbows were so dirty and when I looked at them they looked like I had been rubbing them is mud.  Took me a while to work out I had used my sisters fake tan product on my dry as heck elbows, it was not a pretty sight.  Anyway enough about that lets get onto the interesting stuff. This product is easy to use for anyone that is lazy like me.    You exfoliate all over and moisture any dry areas, shake the tube and then apply a small amount all over your skin b...
