Excellent Natural Self Tan That Lasts Up To 3-4 Days

Ella Bache Great Tan Without Sun 50ml comes in a blue and brown up-down (lid base) squeeze container with a click open swing lid.
Great Tan Without Sun is a moisture rich self tan cream.
It gives skin an instant bronze tint, that develops into a tan in 1-2 hours.
The cream does not contain sun protection.
It can be used on face and body and is enriched with cocoa butter, lanolin, vitamin E and green tea to hydrate and protect skin.
I have a routine I like to use when I am going to use self tan products.
The night before I am going to use tanning solution I, do hair removal, body scrub to cleanse and exfoliate skin and use body moisturiser to hydrate skin.
The next morning I apply more body cream to thick skin areas such as elbows, knees and ankles, it helps the tanning solution produce an even streak free tan.
The self tan cream is dark brown and thick.
I use a tanning mitt to apply the cream to skin, blending as I go.
The texture is rich, smooth and lightly moisturising.
The tanning solution odour is virtually non-existant, an acceptable level.
Skin is instantly transformed with a light coloured tint.
I am careful with the amount I apply to knees and ankles, these areas can over absorb tanning solution resulting in uneven tan coverage.
I allow to dry for at least 1/2 an hour before dressing.
The end result is a natural tan, the tint developing into a light tan over a couple of hours.
The tanning product is brilliant, I love using it, the effect, my fake tan is wonderful, natural and very nice.
It gradually fades, lasting 3 - 4 days.
Great Tan Without Sun is a definite confidence booster.

Made in Australia under licence.

Really good product

This tan is amazing!
Goes on easily (I used a mit)
has a lovely texture and scent
has an isntant colour so you can see where it is, that then washed off to reveal an amzing bronzed glow thats left behind.

THe only flaw I feel this product has is that if you use a lot it takes a ages to dry and hours to stop feeling oily

Best in Beauty 2012

Everybody who knows me, knows I am a fake tan junkie- Cant get enough, mainly because I am so pale. I have always been a fan of Ella Bache products, so when I found this new NO SCENT and the amazing east to use lotion tube, I had to have it. Mainly because my flat mate tells me 'that fake tan smell againnnnnnnn' and the bathroom always has fake tan reminses. Not with this- no smell and no mess.
This has to be the best self tanning product i have ever tried, the colour look natural and is nice and deep in colour. The product is a thick very dark brown which appears daunting at first but gives great colour once applied. Applies even and doesnt go patchy at all, which is a huge factor when looking for fake tan! It applies with a tint-so you can get even application by seeing where you have applied.
This product gives a nice deep carribean brown colour after one application and instead of buying the ella bache face tan i mix this one with a bit of moisturiser for my face.
If you moisturiser regularly and keep up scrubing regularly, it will fade nicely and can last up to a week! Everybody always asks me if I have been on holidays when I use this-So I am loving it so much!!!

I have found the best method of application is:
Latex or rubber gloves..
Barrier cream on toes, palms...
Mix with a little moisturiser when applying to feet or use great tan for face.
Rub in well...
Take off gloves and use backs of your hands to blend from wrist to fingertips using same method for feet.
Downsides: May be too dark for pale skins and fairly pricey..(that said I am quite white myself, and it works for me)
I can usually get 3-4 applications out of one tube which costs me $40 Australian but I suppose thats what you pay for 1 bottle...

Best in Beauty 2012 - the only one I will use!

I am not a fan of fake tan products having tried many over the years and finding that either the colour is wrong on my skin or it is difficult to apply or almost impossible to remove. When my Ella Bache consultant showed me this product and the beautiful colour it imparts I had to give it a go.

I bought this with the tanning mitt which I find useful to use when applying the fake tan on my legs. It is easy to use and I have not found it streaky or blotchy. I just like a soft glow and this product is a gem. I don't use this on my face as there is another product purely for the face.

The best bonus is that it doesn't have that awful fake tan smell that many brands have. Although it is a bit pricey, to me it is worth paying a little more as I don't get anxious applying it compared to other products on the market, as I know it will work beautifully.

♥ best in beauty '12

This is my HG tanning product!!!! It is super thick- seems to sink into my skin better than anything I have tried and lasts way longer than most fake tans, tending to fade off rather than wear/rub/flake off.

Great colour for my skin tone (medium tan) and I constantly get comments on how good my tan is only to have people look in disbelief when I tell them its a fakey! It is easy to apply and I never had problems with streaking or blotching.

The only downside is that it is a bit pricey- I can usually get 3-4 applications out of one tube which costs me $40 but I suppose thats what you pay for 1 spray tan...

Overall, this is the best fake tan I've used, and I've tried a lot of different brands! As a bit of a fake tan addict I can definitely say that this is the one I'd choose because of its great colour and easy application.

Gives a nice brown tan, coloured so it's easy to apply

Exfoliate well before use. I recommend purchasing Ella Bache's Great Tanblocker which helps with any mistakes!

Beautiful colour!

Great self tanner! Comes out a nice brown colour rather than orange & no streaks! Deff wear some gloves or Ella Bache tanning mitt ($15) as it starts to develop quickly! Comes out of tube in dark colour which makes it easier to see where im going! Also now has a low odour !

Numero uno!

Trialed this back in October, and it’s still my #1 sunless tanning lotion. I’m an older gal, and pasty white flesh is simply not on, even if it’s just feet and arms. On the other hand deep bronzed or orangey skin is just as unattractive, and streaks, well let’s not even go there. Ella Baché Great Tan Without Sun gives me a natural looking honey glow that is super flattering, and even with a couple of rushing-out-the-door applications, it still manages to come out even and realistic. Fades gradually without tell-tale patching and has virtually no odour (no idea how they manage that!). The cream itself is a scary dark brown, but once spread and massaged in, my skin has a subtle warmth even before the colour fully develops, so it’s easy to correct any overdoses in the usual trouble spots.

Wouldn’t waste my time or money with any other product – this is a sure bet Glosscars winner :-)
