I love a little tan. I'm very pale, almost translucent and I burn, so for me it's better out a bottle! You just feel better with a sun-kissed glow - plus you can make believe you've been stretched out on a yacht just of the south off France. And a tan shouldn't just be reserved for summer, a golden glow gives you a little sunshine hit in the grey winter months.
This is where Norvell Tanning comes in.
Norvell have been at the forefront of tanning for 30 years and has become a name that you can really trust. Previously their products were only used in salons, but now you can get your hands on the perfect tanning formula. They've just released a Strictly Come Dancing range that was actually used on the show by the celebs and their dancing partners - and we all know how much they love a tan!
I tried out two of their products - the mousse and the airbrush spray.
NORVELL TANNING MOUSSE
I must admit I really enjoyed using the mousse. It's really lightweight and has a soft velvety feel that just glides on to your skin. To get you going Norvell recommend that you lightly exfoliate before you use the tan then pop it on with a mitt. At first I didn't feel like you could see the colour, which is a bit unnerving when you're used to seeing more of a deep brown colour straight away. But, as per the instructions, I left it to develop for 8 hours - so I really popped on my pyjamas and got some shut-eye.
When I got up in the morning I was really delighted with how the tan had developed. It was quite a nice just golden glow, that really didn't look to fake and just gave you that sun-kissed look that's so sought after. I think this could be because the blend of violet and brown tones used are said to neutralise any orange hue. The tan also deepens over the next day and overall I felt the colour lasted pretty well - it's the perfect Thursday night tan if you're after a glow at the weekend!
NORVELL PERFECT 10 AIRBRUSH SPRAY
A perfect 10 is what the judges would give this tan - get it! My dancing skills definitely wouldn't be getting a 10. But enough of that nonsense, lets get down to tanning business. This tan is complete with a "micro-spray that sashays over the skin" and it does spray on pretty easily and lightly like a magical golden mist. Make sure you exfoliate before you use it then as you apply keep moving it and spray in a sweeping motion, then similarly leave it to develop for 8 hours.
I have to confess that I was a little nervous about using the spray, as I'd only ever had a 'spray' tan professionally done and had never used one at home. But I was delighted with how easy it was and I ended up just smoothing it over with a mitt. Pretty much straight away it went into a deep tan, don't panic it is pretty dark at first! Again, I put it on at night then when I showered in the morning it did wash off a tad and then left a gorgeous golden tan. It's definitely going to be my go-to for if I'm getting dressed up for a wee night out!
Thanks so much to Norvell and Alex Silver PR for sending me out the mousse and spray to try - I loved them!
