Life Is Better With A Lusso Tan

Happy Sunday Everyone!

This weekend is yet again another bank holiday weekend & are we happy about this? Hell yes! I know I am. I did do some overtime at work yesterday so I did lose my Saturday but being bank holiday it means I still get my equivalent of a weekend. So it's not really all that bad right?

I really want to go on holiday however due to health at the moment I cannot go on holiday abroad which sucks because I really just want to get on a plane & go to some lovely hot place, lay by the pool or on a beach, sipping cocktails & getting a tan. But I can't :( 

So instead I have to settle for tan in a bottle, but it is true what they say life is better with a tan. I always feel better when I have a tan rather than be pale. It just makes me feel better in myself. That may seem silly I am aware. But I can't be the only one that thinks that right?

I have always been one for trying out different tans. Some I have got on with & some I haven't. But over the last few days I have tried a brand called Lusso Tan which is a new brand & I believe are going to become really popular! What is even better is their products do not contain Parabens or Alcohol. Which is great because they do not dry your skin out which some of them can. 

To get the best out of any tan not just Lusso Tan you have to make sure you prep your skin before applying the tanning lotion to it. So the first product I used from Lusso Tan was the primer.
The primer comes in a spray bottle which makes it so easy to use & to apply to the skin. The mist cleanses the skin of impurities, rebalances your PH level & also hydrates & protects your skin. It leaves your skin feeling soft & dirt free ready for the next step to tan. 

To use the primer you just simply:

*Lightly spray the mist primer over your face & body & then gently 
pat any excess away with a towel or paper towel.

*Then apply the tanning lotion straight away after applying the primer.

I found the primer did not have any horrible smell to it & it dries pleasantly too. It doesn't leave your body feeling greasy or oily at all which I was surprised as some I have used the primer always leaves your skin feeling horrible.

After applying the primer I applied the Self Tan lotion for face & body for Lusso Tan. Which is in the shade Medium. I picked Medium because I am dark haired I like to look like I actually have a tan so a light colour doesn't really do anything for me but for more pale skinned people it is perfect. But I don't like the dark shades because I then feel like it is too overpowering for me. So for me it is Medium every time.

The most important thing to remember when applying any tan is to use a proper mitt or glove to apply it with other wise you will end up with orange hands & I cannot stand it when you see people walking 
round with the brightest orange hands going. So when applying my lotion I used the tanning mitt from Lusso tan. Which I have to say is so so soft! Other mitts I have used have just been made out of foam like material but this one is so much of a better quality & will not absorb through to your hands & turn them orange which is the most important thing.

The tanning lotion is formulated to help hydrate your skin & ensure it does not dry it out. It gives a gorgeous tan to your skin that will last up to 7days. I have found that it is a buildable tan which also comes in different shades so there is something for every skin tone! It is also tinted so you can see where you are applying it to help leave you with a streak free tan. Not only that but I have found it fast drying! It dries within like 60seconds so you can get dressed quickly after applying it.



To apply the self tan simply:

*Apply some tan to the Lusso tan mitt & apply it after you have primed your skin.

*Start at the ankle, sweep the lotion upwards in long & gentle strokes.

*Then turn the mitt back to front & apply to the back of your 
legs.

*Finish by gliding the last of the lotion on the mitt over your hands & feet.


*Leave the tan 4-8 hours before showering to let the tan develop.

After 

I applied it to my whole body so I could have an all over tan so I could see what colour the lotion really leaves you with. I have to say I was so pleased with the colour it left me with! It has definitely given me that sun-kissed look. Not only that it does not give that horrible biscuit like smell which some tanning lotions can give you & I hate that kind of scent to a product. 

Then for an extra holiday tan look they do a finishing touch shimmer. Which you can sweep along your cheekbones, collarbone, shoulders to give that extra sun-kissed glow! Or if you want you can mix it with a moisturiser to give an all over body shimmer. It is such a gorgeous shimmery colour!

So overall I am so happy with the quality of the tanning products from Lusso tan. They are such great quality & do not leave you with horrible smelling, dry, orange skin. It does leave you with that holiday tan look which is perfect for me seeing as I cannot get a 
real one abroad at the minute.
