Don’t Replace your Favourite Face Cream for that Tanned Glow!
There is no need to purchase separate tanning face creams – just add a few drops of the Notox Face Tanning Drops to your current moisturiser for a customised glow that suits you!
Why Notox Face Tanning Drops?
As part of the Skinny Tan Social Squad, I was gifted the Notox Face Tanning Drops. These drops are an excellent way of building up a beautiful, natural, tanned glow without having to swap out your favourite moisturiser which was a real bonus for me as I have been very specific in choosing my moisturiser. The other great thing about the Notox drops is that you can control how subtle or deep you want your glow to be just by altering the number of drops you add into your moisturiser.
According to the Skinny Tan website, the recommendation is “4 drops for a subtle glow, 8 drops for a medium tan or 12 for a deeper result”.
What are the key benefits of these drops?
Looking at the Notox Face Tanning Drops product page on skinnytan.com, some of the key benefits of the Notox Face Tanning Drops include:
- Develops over 6-8 hours
- Customisable glow
- Aloe vera to soothe and hydrate skin
- Guarana extract to invigorate and revitalise
- Vegan collagen to help regain skins firmness and tone
- Non-pore blocking formula
- Transfer proof and long-lasting.
How did I use the Notox Face Tanning Drops?
I used the Notox Face Tanning Drops with my Jan Marini Transformation Face Cream, mixing in about 3 or 4 drops using the drop applicator. I then just massage it into my face and neck like any normal moisturiser. I did this as part of my usual morning and night-time skincare routine.
Skinny Tan do offer a ‘Miracle Brush’ to help you apply the products to your face, if you didn’t want to use your fingers, but I prefer to use my fingers – just made sure my hands were thoroughly washed afterwards (and before, of course)!
Final verdict of the Notox Face Tanning Drops?
I thought the Notox Face Tanning Drops were brilliant and gave me a lovely tanned glow. It was also great to have something that I could just add to my current skincare routine without having to replace anything!
The drop applicator made it easy to add the required number of drops to my face cream. The Notox drops and my Jan Marini face cream mixed together very well.
I used this for a few days continuously, as part of my morning and night-time skincare regime, and didn’t have any bad reaction to the Notox product. Nor did I come out in spots, so clearly it is a “non-pore blocking formula, as it doesn’t usually take much for my skin to have a break-out!
My 70-odd year old Mother also gave the Notox Face Tanning Drops a try, and the results for her were fabulous! She looked glowing and healthy, which also made her feel great! Again, there were no bad reaction and she absolutely loves the Notox Face Tanning Drops.
Creating the Ideal Canvas for the Perfect Tan
Removing an old tan whilst exfoliating the skin, making it feel softer and smoother, ready for a tan refresh!
Why did I buy a self-tan eraser?
REMOVE OLD TAN • EXFOLIATE • TAN-PREP
As the Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner is such an amazing self-tan product, you will need something to remove it when you’re ready to refresh your tan. Otherwise, your old tan will fade and go patchy!
This is where something like the Skinny Tan Miracle Tan Eraser comes in. It removes your old tan ready for a fresh, new coating of self-tan.
The Miracle Tan Eraser isn’t just about removing an old tan. It can also be used to just simply exfoliate the skin, getting rid of dead skin, making your skin feel softer and smoother.
What does the Skinny Tan Miracle Tan Eraser claim to do?
According to the Skinny Tan website, the Miracle Tan Eraser “gently and effectively removes old tan, corrects mistakes, and exfoliates the skin to create a soft, smooth finish – ready for fresh application“, within just 5 minutes. And because of its “unique combination of manual (natural gentle Pumice) and chemical exfoliation (Salicylic Acid) with added moisturising skin smoothing ingredients (Glycerin and Urea)“, it gets to work whilst also caring for your skin, leaving it feeling smoother and looking brighter.
So, what’s the word online about the Skinny Tan Eraser?
Looking at the Boots.com website, there are a few comments from people stating that the Miracle Tan Eraser didn’t completely remove their old tan, didn’t work on stubborn areas or that they had to really scrub elbows and feet!
But there are a lot of positive reviews, most of which make the same claims: easy to use; minimal effort; their skin felt soft and really smooth; great base for applying new tan; makes the new tan sit nicer on the skin; didn’t aggregate sensitive skin; no irritation; great exfoliator.
One reviewer suggested making sure that you use the Miracle Tan Eraser for the recommended time, if not more, so the tan is easily removed.
How did I use the Tan Eraser?
Using my hands, I applied the Skinny Tan Miracle Tan Eraser to dry skin and left it for approx. 5 minutes. I then dampened the skin in the shower, buffed it into a bit of a lather using the Skinny Tan Exfoliating Mitt and then rinsed off.
Did this self-tan product meet my expectations?
I thought the Skinny Tan Miracle Tan Eraser was a great way to remove an old tan or even just to exfoliate the skin ready for a new tan. It didn’t make my skin sore and worked brilliantly with the Skinny Tan exfoliating mitt to remove the old tan.
The only criticism I have is the waiting time, but then that’s just because I am such an impatient person! For some reason, I had the idea that I could apply the tan eraser and that the old tan would just melt away – not the case! I don’t actually think there is anything out there that actually does this anyway!
The Perfect Gradual Tan
The moisturising gradual tan cream without the usual tacky afterfeel, providing the perfect tan colour on first application!
Why did I decide to buy this gradual self-tanner?
TAN • MOISTURISE • NO RUB-OFF
My legs are lily white, so I’ve always loved the idea of a tan in a bottle but all the self tans I’ve tried have felt tacky after application, they’ve had an odd smell about them and they end up rubbing off on my clothes or bedding! So I just avoid them and instead, wear trousers or maxi dresses / skirts so I don’t show my legs.
What does the Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner claim to do?
Here’s a short extract from the Skinny Tan website about their gradual tan product:
“Our original colour-free lotion is the best gradual tan around (in our humble opinion) as unlike other gradual tanners, it’s formulated with 99% naturally derived ingredients and a subtle gradual tanning agent to build up an everyday natural bronze glow!“
So, what’s the word online about the Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner?
Looking on the Boots.com website, there are a few reviews and most are positive – with people claiming that the product: gave them a nice colour; was easy to apply; was streak free; didn’t have any nasty smells. Then there were a small number of negative reviews claiming that the product: did smell horrible; was streaky; was hard and time-consuming to spread into the skin and; wore off in patches!
What was my thoughts of the Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner?
LOVED IT! Loved that this is a cream base rather than lotion, as it was much easier to apply to the skin and also made my skin feel moisturised.
There was a smell of coconut which was very subtle upon application but none of the usual nasty self-tan smells. And, I loved the colour of the tan the next day (8 hours later) which lasted a few days without having to reapply.
I have noticed that the gradual tanner does fade / wear-off in patches after a few days, but this is without any re-application and to be honest, I expect most self tans do this!
Did the Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner meet my expectations?
No, because I was expecting the usual tanning lotion which, by the way, this is NOT a negative comment! So, to add to this, would I buy it again? 100% YES, and I have already recommended it to my friends, family and colleagues!
