Tanning Review: He-Shi Tanning Gel

Hello Beauties!

My tanning addiction has grown, and although I love the sunbed - sometimes I just want to get that little bit darker without the thought of having to stand in a really hot sunbed.

He-Shi is a premium self-tanning company that has won numerous amounts of rewards for their amazing quality tanning products. These products (which can be used on both men and women) can be used in professional tanning salons or at home - which again highlights the high standards of the brand!

I was very lucky enough to receive the He-Shi Face + Body Tanning Gel and desperately wanted to try it as soon as I got it! The tanning kit even came with a tanning mitt! which was extremely helpful.

The Kit

The Tanning Gel

The gel is in a lovely brown tube, which is the same with all the other products and fits in well with the colour we want to go (well, sunkissed!). The tanning comes with instructions so you know exactly what to do and they are very simple - so if you're a beginner, you'll know exactly what to do. 

What was also helpful is the fact that the gel is tinted, so you will know exactly where you have applied and where you need to add more. The tan is very fast acting! although you do have to give it 6-8 hours before you have contact with water to get the full effects. Now, the picture below is the after photo of the He-Shi tanning gel. What do you think?

After using the gel

I am actually in love with the stuff! The product is long lasting, and I keep getting compliments on how tanned I look - which is a big surprise as I usually get called a milk bottle.

Do you love to tan or are you more of a pale gal?

I'll turn orange soon ...

Hello my Lovelies!

I'm not sure whether this is going to be more of a review or a personal experiece ...

A bit of both I think!

Anyway, if you follow my blog (which I hope you do!) you will know that I had a slight addiction to fake tanning - but I didn't like the fact that I am absolutely useless at appying the stuff and not making it streaky (It feels like I have the mssing gene :( ) So I have reverted to a new way of tanning which I know not all of you will agree with. Sunbeds.

YES! I know that they are bad for you! I only go on for a few minutes and that is it!

Me and my beautiful friend Steph decided we wanted abit more colour to our skin. After all, the British weather is never promising and a little glow couldn't hurt anyone, could it?

We decided to use the tanning salon Kwik Tan situated on Clumber Street in Nottingham. To me, It seems like a pay-as-you-go tanning salon, in which you are given a card that you can top up when you want to be a tanned diva. When you join there, you are given 6 free minutes and £20 worth of vouchers - including a 60 minutes of tanning for £10, free 6 minutes when you recommend a friend and 25% off a bottle of tanning lotion.

Now, with it being my first time - I was quite nervous, but the receptionist was kind and showed me and Steph everything we needed to know.

I can happily say that I have been back since then and developed a lovely tan!

Which, for me, is a miracle!

If you don't want to go on the sunbed, then that is entirely your choice; I just decided I wanted some colour and I will only be doing it once a week (if that).
