My skin is white, when I say white I mean milk bottle white, I can go out in the sun and try to get a tan but, I burn so am super red, then it turns white again. I just don’t tan. It is embarrassing when I am out and about in the summer and tend to cover my legs because they are so white you need sunglasses to even look at them they are so bright.
I was asked if I’d like to try Skinny Tan Wonder Serum and I jumped at the chance. Who wouldn’t right? Especially if you have skin like mine.
I received a bottle of Skinny Tan Wonder Serum 145ml, Skinny Tan Dual Sided Luxury Tanning Mitt and Skinny Tan Exfoliating Mitt.
Silky, skin-kind serum for an instant iridescent bronze. Develops to a lasting flawless tan.
Skinny Tan Wonder Serum combines the best self-tanning technology, with anti-aging, anti-oxidant and hydrating skincare ingredients all in one.
It has 96% natural ingredients, paraded and sulphate free, Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
I must admit I am sceptical with self-tanning as I have found many of them turn my an orange shade, which is fine is Oompa Loompa was in fashion. I decided to only do from knee to ankle with Wonder Serum to start with. Mainly because I can cover that area easily if it turned out terrible and still wear flip flops if I need to.
First I had to prepare my legs so I gave them a quick shave and thoroughly exfoliated them using the exfoliating mitt.
Once my legs were dry I placed the dual-sided luxury tanning mitt on my hand, squirted some of the Wonder Serum onto it and them applied it to my legs. It is so much easier to apply self-tan with a mitt!
I managed to cover the whole area without missing any and then moved onto my other leg.
Once happy that they were both completely covered I left them for a couple of minutes to dry and washed out the mitt ready for the next time.
The Wonder Serum looked very dark brown when put of the mitt, I was worried that it would be super dark after the 6-8 hours that it takes to fully develop. It does have a pleasant scent. No chemical smell or horrible smell at all.
After the full 8 hours were up I checked my legs, they definitely look tanned but not unnaturally tanned, more of a golden glow to them and they feel and look so silky. I am really impressed with the Wonder Serum, in fact, it is amazing and makes my skin look so nice. I will definitely be getting my legs out in the summer this year!
As I said I only tanned my lower legs, but obviously as it looks so nice I want to do more of my body. I will have to try to wash, exfoliate this one off first, once it has faded or gone I will apply it again. I am not sure how long it lasts as it only states it is long lasting on the bottle.
I would definitely recommend it.
Skinny Tan Wonder Serum is available to purchase from Skinny Tan’s website and exclusively at Boots.
