Hi everyone
Tanning again. I'm a little obsessed with this one. I had patch tested a few people with this and they said to me that the colour was fab but it washed off really quickly. I was a little bemused because in theory it shouldn't have a lesser wear time because it's the same brand as the others I use so I thought what the heck I will give it a go myself.
Don't get me wrong I try every brand on myself before I try them on any clients as I personally feel I can't sell anything unless I can give an honest review of the product. I have tried the fresh indulgence at 9% and loved it as I am pale as milk therefor go 'orange' very easily, I've also tried the 8 % nouvatan and love that too. With that said I know the caribbean is a very true brown colour and I was very frightened as to how it would look but I need to try it for wear time, If it came to it I would have soaked in a bath of lemon for a week to fade it.
I got my husband behind the tanning gun, filled it up and off we went. First off the guide colour is excellent on this so great if you are just starting out as you can see where you are spraying, also good for the non spray tech in your life, the fresh indulgence or original doesn't have a very dark guide colour making it hard to see so I'd stay away from it until you are more experienced or get some and practice on family and friends until you get the hang of it. Anywho the smell of the tan itself is so fruity and fresh whilst it is being sprayed, this does turn into the biscuit smell when developed but that is the DHA, you can't escape it so lets just get over it.
In the morning the guide colour appeared no darker than when applied, to me anyway, it is a lovely true brown very natural tan looking, I rinsed as I would have anyother tan only using soap on my bits and underarms. It rinsed off well and quickly, I applied oil free moisuriser and off I went about my business. I showered everyday just as usual using the soft side of the sponge and my soap and glory shower gel. It was 5 days before I needed to do a light exfoliation to even things up then another 3 before real wear was showing. Altogether it was about 12 days several showers, long soaks in the bath and a few rounds of exfoliation before the tan had completely gone. Love Love Love it. 1 negative, wear around my bra line. This happens to me no matter what tan I've had, it really irritates me that where your bra moves about it rubs the tan away. Haven't discovered any top tips to stop this but rest assured I will write about them when I do.
I'm still not sure as to why this rubs away when patch tested but it wears just as well if not better than other tans I have tried. It must be the skin nourishing fruit oils. This company have a paraben free, organic DHA tan packed full of nourishing ingriedients that help prevent your skin from drying out, Thier customer service is beyond any I've encountered where nothing is too much trouble. The website is a breeze to navigate which is a must for me. I am very proud to stock them and as my business expands I will be stocking much more of thier retail products too. What else can I say. Well done Fresh Indulgence, you got me another booking in the diary just from wearing the tan, the lady thought I'd been away, I couldn't love the products any more.
Lots of love
Mrs G xx
