I have long time been a fan of the Caribbean tan range and have used it religiously over the years.

It is by far the only off the shelf product I have managed to use that is

easy to apply
affordable
gives amazing results

This will forever be my number one brand of choice when it comes to self tan

I've so fussy with fake tanners, as most of them smell awful and leave you super orange or patchy.

I've only used Fake Bake tanners for the last 2 years, as their colour is much more natural, never streaks or goes patchy, and smells pretty nice for a fake tanner too. They're so ridiculously easy to use as well, they're just very pricey.

I've never had a problem with spending money on a fake tanner, as if I'm going to use one, I want it to look as natural as possible, or it's a complete waste of money. The bottle of Fake Bake spritz also lasts for ages.

I'd tried out the Caribbean Tan gradual tanning spray a while back and been completely underwhelmed by it. I ended up chucking out the can halfway through, as it just didn't work for me, and I didn't want to pass it on to anyone else.

When I had a browse through the Caribbean Tan products one day at Dischem, I thought maybe I should give them a second chance, as they're a quarter of the price of my Fake Bake tanner. I figured that I'd try out the spritzer version this time, as I'd been so happy with the Fake Bake version.

The tanner comes with a mitt so you can smooth out any areas. It has instant colour to it, so you can see where you've applied it, and it smells fairly decent for a tanner. Once you've applied it, it'll develop for the next 8 hours, so you can't shower for 8 hours at least.

I chose the B (white/beige) and it was a perfect transition colour from winter to summer - not as deep as the Fake Bake tanner I've been using, but still really natural and not orange at all. I think I'll buy the darker one soon, so that I can go a bit deeper next time.

It also lasts on the skin really well, and just fades naturally, like a real tan would.

A fantastic budget buy!

My first self tanner was the tanning spritzer from Caribbean Tan Self, and what an awesome product! I am quite surprised at how easy this is to apply and I didn't find it messy at all! So my first experience with a self tanner was quite pleasant (I expected it to be very messy!)

I really absolutely loved this tanner! It was easy to apply and the product itself goes far. I ended up using only half a bottle for mt full tan and my tan came out great! My tan lasted me 8 days, which would probably have lasted longer if I used the Caribbean Tan care products, but overall I am very impressed with how long it lasted.

I love this product. I am extremely pale and I don't tan, I just get freckles. I love that the colour change is immediate. Firstly, I can 'tan and go' and secondly, I can make sure that I've applied it evenly. As with all self tan products you do need to make sure that you moisturise areas like knees and elbows beforehand. I do not go orange at all, the colour is lovely and bronze.
