This smells nice and feels silky on the skin. It sinks in quickly and easily and doesn't have a sticky, tacky feeling for ages like some fake tans have, so I was able to dress reasonably quickly after applying it. It is a very light shade, and a few coats will be needed to build up to the shade I would like.

An easy to apply gradual tan. It has a nice scent to it and it soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave skin feeling sticky. I like how you can build up the perfect glow over several days. It can stain hands so wash immediately after use, especially between the fingers or they go a bit orange. Suitable for sensitive skin.

I am very impressed with this gradual tanning lotion. I found the lotion very easy to use and apply, as i am very pale skinned i choose the light to medium colour which gave my one leg a lovely natural tanned, sun kissed glow, the smell is amazing, think coconuts and the beach! You can choose how deep you would like the tan to be, if you are looking for a deeper darker tan use daily. I found the lotion absorbs quickly with no greasiness, it is lightweight, non sticky and does not develop orange coloured much to my relief. I will now be using this tanning lotion all over my body and pretend i have just come back from Hawaii (i wish), i will be adding this to my wish-list for sure.

I recently started using this Natural Summer Glow gradual tan lotion in the light to medium shade, and I’m really pleased with the results. It gives a subtle, buildable colour that doesn’t scream “fake tan” – more like you’ve just come back from a long weekend somewhere sunny (if only!). After a couple of uses, my skin looked warmer and healthier without any streaks or odd patches. The lotion itself goes on smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly, though I’d recommend giving it a few extra minutes before getting dressed—just to be safe. The scent is mild compared to some others I’ve tried, and thankfully it doesn’t have that strong biscuity smell that can hang around with some tanning products. One small downside is that if you miss a spot during application, it becomes noticeable after a day or two, so it’s worth taking your time with it. That said, it’s easy to top up or even things out. Overall, it’s a great option for anyone looking for a fuss-free, natural-looking tan without going full bronze goddess. Great for keeping that healthy glow ticking over between seasons!

This is an excellent product. I have to confess that I've never used tanning lotion before, but as someone who looks like he’s been stored in a freezer for the past few decades, I was really excited to try it out and I’m really impressed. So far I've only applied it the once and I’m exceptionally happy with the results which is why I’ve not felt the need for a second application yet. The once over has given me a really natural summer glow - healthier, bronzed but not tangoed which is exactly what I'm looking for. Overall, this tanning lotion is excellent value, I will definitely be using it again when I need to! Fantastic.

I like the Calypso range of sun creams so I was keen to try this gradual tan lotion. I’m pretty impressed! Not only does it give you a nice even glow, but it also helps to moisturise your skin. I think it gives a natural-looking tan/ glow and doesn’t look fake or go streaky like some fake tans do. Just take care to apply sparingly on knees, elbows and toes as it can go a bit darker in these areas. It’s always good to exfoliate before tanning, I find it best to exfoliate the day before. I apply the lotion at night before bed and then wash it off in the shower the next morning. You can apply it each night or every other night or even as a one-off, it just depends on the level of tan you desire. This is the light to medium tan lotion which is perfect for day-to-day use. I sometimes use a darker shade if I have a planned night out or event to go to. The big bonus with this lotion is that it smells pleasant and when I wear it overnight I don’t find I wake up smelling of fake tan like I do with some other brands.
