St. Moriz Fake Tan Mist

Today I want to talk about fake tan. Now that the warmer weather is very very slowly approaching, i've been mulling over using fake tan to help me along before the sun finally appears. I only recently purchased this (as you can tell), and it was the first time in my whole 20 years that I had ever fake tanned. It was on offer in asda for £3.. is that good? So in the end I thought 'what could possibly go wrong?'. In all fairness, nothing actually did go wrong! I realised almost immediately after purchasing it that I had picked up the mist, rather than the mousse, which almost instantly made me think it was going to go awful. I took to my phone straight after to start reading reviews about the mist, and saw people comparing the mousse and mist against each other- the results were always that the mousse was better, which was putting me off even more! I will be doing my own comparison when I get round to buying and using the mousse myself.

In the end I realised I just had to jump in to it, I couldn't prolong it any longer- and i'm glad I didn't. I had read about the mist being streaky or drying the skin, but I experienced neither since I moisturise after showering anyway. It actually looked extremely natural, since my other concern was that I have stupidly pale skin. I ended up spraying on to the mitt and then applying it to my skin, which gave me more control over the amount I used. I don't feel like any of it is wasted either, and the nozzle didn't clog at all for me. These were other problems people had found with the mist. The only downfall I saw to the mist is that it is instant, whereas the mousse takes 4-5 hours to build. It worked out well for me because I put it on and went out the same day. It also allowed me to see straight away the exact colour of the tan, rather than having a grueling wait for the result. However, because of it being instant, it also instantly disappeared in the shower, whereas (from seeing friends use it) the mousse appears to stay and slowly fade for around a week afterwards. So with the mousse, the can overall would last longer, and even though you have to wait, it would be more worth it.

Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take a picture of my skin before and after applying, though I will definitely be using it again, so photos will soon follow anyway.
