MINETAN BODY.SKINSelf Tan Foam, Violet

I wanted a tan that doesn’t smell horrible - this tan certainly doesn’t have the usual fake tan smell so that’s 5* for me!I like that it works fast, but I found best results are to sleep with it on (or leave on throughout the day) and wash off in the morning. Any less then 3/4 hours and there’s not much colour pay off.I really like it, however struggling to work out how it’s purple based? When I wash it off the guide colour is more green/orange than purple.However, the colour left on skin is lovely, a nice tan colour not too orangey and not patchy at all if applied properly.Doesn’t last long on me, maybe 2-3 days but that’s typical with most fake tans I’ve tried. Doesn’t seem to go ‘tiger bready’ when coming off either, it seems to just disappear after a few days without being flakey.In conclusion I like it :)

I am normally the colour of a sheet of paper and other popular fake tans make me look a bit orange and fake. I was told by a friend about different base colours for tans and that red and blue bases suit pale skin. I chose this one as I couldn't find any solely red based tan in the UK but a red/blue mix seemed an acceptable compromise. Don't be put off by the product text which says this tan is super dark. I actually leave it on overnight and it looks absolutely brilliant - gives me a 'glow' without looking fake.

I Bought both the mink and violet option. The violet is my favourite. I have yellow undertones through my pale skin and fake tans tend to make me look more orange than tanned. The purple tones in this counteracts my yellow tones nicely. It apples really well with a tanning mitt and comes out of the bottle in a sort of dark aubergine colour. The fact that you can quickly rinse it off (without soap) after an hour means all that muddy looking surface colour you get from fake tans is removed, so you can go straight out and it will still continue to develop whilst not looking like you haven’t washed for weeks! It also helps reduce the fake tan smell, although this doesn’t seem to completely disappear until you wash with soap/shower gel. Definitely not the strongest or most unpleasant of smells though. All in all, excellent product, happy customer!

The violet negates orange tones very well. It provides a natural looking tan. The first couple of layers seem light but that`s great - you have control over the depth of the tan by repeating layers to get a darker tan if required. Don`t use soap when you first rinse the tan off. If you wash your skin gently and don`t rub or scrub the tan lasts about a week fading naturally. To keep the tan going just top up every few days. I am pleased with this buy and I`ve tried a lot of tanning products before this.

I looked at this when I was in USA, the price was $35 and the reviews were very good,I then checked Amazon and shocked they sold it and so cheap, it's very good stuff, it gives you a deep tan if you leave on a long time and more golden if you wash off after a couple of hours, it is a similar foam and colour to San tropez, it's a bargain for the price,give it a go.
