Well as Joliese is currently out of stock – I found this review of Idol Tan from someone with VERY pale skin - so I thought I would share it with you;  (Remember if your skin type is normal or olive it will be much faster than described below)

- “I was a little bit sceptical because I looked at their internet site and saw all these pictures of models and thought these girls often look so perfect? I don’t think they require a product like this. So, I decided to grab a tube mainly because now they provide a free of charge trial.  So I paid the normal shipping and handling (a few bucks) and then after two days I got the packet shipped right to my home.

So I took the tube and put on some of the lotion all over after ex-foliating.  That was all I had to do.  I didn’t see very much effect on my skin initially but one thing that is wonderful.  The cream doesn’t smell of chemicals – you may laugh at this but most of the other sunless tanning products I have tried prior to this had a bad smell and I didn’t want to use them simply because it was just too chemically oriented for me.  Idol tan smells very much like some nice citrus fruit and my boyfriend even asked me why I smell so fresh these days.  Ha ;-)

But darker skin?  Nope, couldn’t see any changes.  But ok, that was just the very first day so I didn’t expect this would function like a magic cream so onto to the next day.  Exact same procedure.  Cream on skin and finished.  On day two, I looked in the mirror and I found I could see a slight change in my color.  My skin definitely looked darker, not as dark as I wanted it to be but it was darker.  From this day on I truly believed in the Idol Tan lotion!

To make a long story short, following three more days.  I had the skin color I really wanted to have. It may sound strange to others but for me a dream come true, normal darkening tanners streak for me or they come off in 2 days.  For me (with a very pale skin) this Idol Tan was amazing.  The attractiveness of the tan increasing over a few days meant the darker colour was more natural, didn’t look fake and of course was completely streak free.

So now all I’m doing is applying it once weekly just after a shower.  Sometimes I exfoliate, but to be honest, I don’t always have to, and the great thing is – it lasts for a while (unlike the previous stainers I had been using)

If you have the same issue like me (pale skin) – I actually encourage you to get the free trial of Idol Tan. It worked for me so I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be great for you.  Of course if don’t get on with it you’ll be able to send it back and all you’ve just lost is the money for delivery.  I feel this is totally worth it should you consider what it could change in your life, self-confidence and of course it will make you look younger ;-)

I hope that give some insight into the product – let me know if you have any questions. You can get it here.

UPDATE 25-MAY – JOLIESE – Out Of Stock – Recommend Idol Tan as the best self tanner alternative.

This really is the best.  It seems that Joliese is becoming the most popular dark tanning lotion out there.  Its not only because its a salon product that celebrities seem to be using and endorsing (have you noticed how great their tans are now – but with beautiful skin), no I think its simply the quality of the product.   Its more expensive than your high street off the shelf bottle – but it does the following:

  1. Tans darker and lasts longer than other products.
  2. Is suitable for all skin types – pale, dark or olive.
  3. Its applied using spray – so its looks even all over your body. (Thin layers is the trick)
  4. Completely streak free!
  5. It feels smooth on your skin.

Treat yourself here - you deserve it!

Don’t forget  - quote “darker” when you order and you’ll get a big discount.

Firstly its not a tanner!  It’s a thinning anti cellulite cream.  Once absorbed it uses the heat of the sun to produce a thermogenic reaction which melts fat at the skin level.  Through the absorption it shrinks the cells so that lipids are released and carried away in the bloodstream.

Applying it

Rub it on all round areas where you could get cellulite, the backs of thighs and arms for example.  Although the name implies that you should lie in the sun to activate it – its not necessary and in fact natural body heat will do the job.

If you do want to sun bathe – then its important to note there is no sunscreen in it.  The best approach is to rub it and let absorb, and then apply sunscreen

How long?

Before you see results – with daily applications you should notice results in 4 weeks.
