Ive tried many palmers products and I must say I love every single one of them, this one included ! if its from palmers then you know its something good
I cant get enough of the amazing smell that this tanning lotion has, it has a hint of coconut smell but also like a chocolate pudding smell, I love it!!
the gradual tanner starts to show on your skin from about the second and third day and it lasts over a week which is awesome! it also fades gradually unlike other self tanners that come off in patches which isn't too sexy lol
I will definitely keep using this and recommending it to any one looking for a perfect tan this summer
Smells like a tropical holiday and instantly puts me in a relaxed mood.thick and a little greasy with a self tanner built in that livens up brown skin easing away ashiness and dull dry skin.
A real winner
This gradual tanner definitely works faster than others I've tried, it smells better than the others too, and it doesn't look as orange either! If a gradual hint of colour is what you're looking for, you won't find better than this!

This moisturiser, like all the other Palmer's products smells amazing! Personally I don't notice the normal self-tan scent cause the yummy chocolate smell is very strong. While you are applying this it literally smells like you are smearing melted chocolate all over your body.
You apply this gradual tanner just like a normal body lotion. It's quite thick and takes a few minutes to absorb into your skin. For me this lotion is more like a self tanner and not a gradual tanner. After one application my skin already had a full tan. This meant my first application was streaky as I wasn't expecting that much colour. But my other applications were fine as I put a lot less on.
I did notice after showering the next day the tan got a bit patchy, so I felt like I had to use it every day to keep the glow. The colour isn't bad, on some areas it looks more natural then other areas. But like most gradual tanners this eventually looks orange after too many applications.
This is one of the more expensive gradual tanners, but if you like Palmer's products and you love the smell (like me) then this is a great option.

Not terrible, but still a little orangeish( maybe its my skintone?!) and the " self tan " pong isnt there at first but kicks in later and is very strong. Good for a special occasion where a tan is required, but not something for everyday use.
I loved that it didn't have that typical self -tan smell, but rather smells like vanilla cocoa butter! Your skin feels soft and looks magnificent, a perfect summer tan without the hassle of looking orange!
I followed my regime of exfoliating and prepping my skin before my first application - within 24 hours there was a noticeable change in the colour of my skin, after my second application I had a perfect tan! I thought it best not to apply on my third day as I already had a fantastic tan! I waited a few days and found that the colour did not fade quickly, in fact it lasted more than a week before I applied it again! This may be dependent on your skin type, I am quite fair and don't tan easily, so this would be perfect for anyone with a fair complexion!
This product gets a 10/10 on my 'Beauty on a Budget' list! Palmer's Natural Bronze Body Lotion is available at Dischem stores nationwide for R65.95 - another must have for your beauty bag!
