It's coming to the time of year now, where my gradual tanning lotion just doesn't cut it anymore. With the sun coming out and the summer months getting hotter I want to be able to wear shorts and skirts without looking like a pale zombie. Which is why I decided to take matters into my own hands and get a new fake tan! Baby B Browne tanning products have been something I have wanted to try for a while. The Irish brand is well known for their tanning products and so I thought it would be rude not to give them a try! I decided to go for the 250ml Self Tanning Lotion.
I was really impressed by the size of the bottle as it is a bit bigger than other brands I have seen in shops, and if tanning is something you do quite often, like me, then bigger bottles usually mean you get more for your money! Also, if you tan often you will know what I mean when I say you end up smell a bit like biscuits most of the time (not cool), but this tan smells like vanilla and is so refreshing against other tans I have used!
When I first put the tan onto the mitt I was a little apprehensive about the colour (it looks super dark) but actually, it goes on really nicely and actually made my skin look brown instead of orange, which is always a bonus! The only criticism I have is that I didn't get on with the mitt that came with the tan. Although it feels really lovely and soft, I just found it didn't rub the tan in as well as with a foam mitt, but that really is the only criticism I have because I really am so pleased with the product! Having been wearing it for a few days now, I can honestly say it has faded so evenly and hasn't gone streaky or patchy at all!
Here are my tanning tips to make sure my fake tan lasts as long as it has with Baby B Browne:
1. Hair removal should be done no less that 24 hours before tanning
2. Shower no less than half an hour before tanning
3. Tie your hair, especially with dyed or blonde hair. It is not cool to have brown stains.
4. EXFOLIATE- this is the most important one. I always make sure to exfoliate before I tan, and then daily in the shower on the elbows, knees, ankles and wrist areas. This will ensure your tan fades evenly. Seriously, no matter how good a fake tan you use, if you don't exfoliate you will look patchy.

Overall, I really can't recommend this product enough, and at just £14,95 you really can't go wrong! Let me know what you think!
