So i have got my mousse and im applying it sort of evenly trying not to create any streaks and i sleep in it overnight and wash it all off but within a couple of days its kind of gone.

What am i doing wrong?, i thought it was supposted to last 2 weeks?, am i not putting enough on?, im not cakeing myself in it, do i need to make sure i have loads on?
 
try the cream version its much longer lasting and more effective than the mousse, either that or try the spray tan version.

My other half used st tropez and thinks the mousse kind isnt really up to mucyh
 
Barbie suggested the mousse as its easier to apply, maybe im just not putting enough on, im scared im going to end up with loads of streaks :lol:
 
I actually prefer the mousse :?

How long do you keep it on before you first have a shower Mambo??

It won't last up to 2 weeks but you should get a week out of it, I tend to apply mine every wkend and it lasts for a week.

Are you naturally fair or dark skinned?? If you're fair skinned it's probably not going to take as well as someone who is darker skinned.

Just slap it all on that's what I do :lol:

Also how long are you moisturising before applying?? If you moisturise too soon before appying it it absorbs quite a bit of the tan so it could be that.
 
Im fair skinned so maybe thats why :? and im leaving it on overnight for at least 9 hours.

I'll have another go friday. It did work on my face, although on the saturday i was a little paranoid that i looked orange :? :lol:
 
i use the cream and i have no problem, use their exfoliater too and i would get a great tan for about 10 days. i do apply a very thick layer tho never get streaks

Right - slap it all on then 8O :lol:

I think i allowed 25 mins before i attempted it. I got Joey to do my back and then he gave up in a hissy because i told him he was doing it all wrong and left me to it :lol: :lol:
 
I use it all the time and have for years. I just slap it on at night before I go to bed, Its meant to look messy. The next day you should wash it off and hopefully it should be fine. It normally lasts up to 3 days on me. After that it starts to fade
 
You need to exfoliate before you apply it, plus I only used to moisturise my knees, elbows hands and feet. The mousse is the easiest to apply and I always used to put on 2 layers and quite thickly altho it doesnt last as long as the cream or spray. Buff your body after youve applied it aswell with a body buffer type thingy! You'll have less streaks that way! I used to leave mine on for as long as possible (at least 12 hours :) )

I dont bother with it anymore, I use those daily moisturisers with a hint of tan in :D (plus I go on the sunbed occasionally :roll: )

Just thinking about it now, i did only do my elbows, knees, ankles and hands.

I used the dove hint of tan stuff after i came back from hols 2 weeks ago and i used it everyday and then i came out of the shower one day and wiped my arms and it all came away all patchy and blotchy 8O :lol:

I gave up on the sunbeds, i used to be a nice golden glow but i have decided its too damaging to my health.
 
I tend to have a bath at night, put some on then put some on in the morning and wash it off in the night then repeat the next day. I'm embracing my pale side at the moment though as cannot be bothered to put it on!!
