The hunt for the perfect body bronzer

I don't have any favourites

I'm not too keen on bronzers, yet this article is a great resource for those beauties out there who are. St Tropez has been around for a while.

Great article

I mostly like my pale skin, but I have tried the Dove Summer Glow products and I quite liked that I could go as dark or light as I wanted. If I was going to use a product regularly it would be them. So far as bronzers, I have a Napoleon Perdis one from the Brazil Bound range and I love the colour of that, it's almost like a cross between a blush and a bronzer, and you can use it as either.

St. Tropez tanners are THE best but I've found that SHE bronzer is a very convincing substitute. Similar colour, fragrance and consistency but a third of the price...

I like the Sally Hansen Airbrush legs for a quick bronze fix on my legs. Its quick easy and instant. Also for an all over instant solution I love Rimmel Sunshimmer Instant Tan.... xox

Body shop body bronzer in plum.

Jungle Bronze is definate Winner for me..a golden natural tan everytime.. No aerosol to! Yay it's a pump bottle : )

Ive tried Biotherm body tanning Gel. It was very good. It's really easy to use and the texture is beautiful. Doesnt leave a orange streak behind. But makesure like with all other body tanners, you exfoliate before applying to ensure you get a smooth finish. The smell of the tanner was very pleasant... unlike some others that has irritating smell lingering on your body for hours. I really suggest this to everyone. The only problem is that the colour needs some time to develop on your body, so you must think ahead before your big day/night out if you wanna have a beautiful tan look. But other than that I am very happy with this product and I would definately recommend this to everyone.

For a special occasion I can't go past St Tropez...it's so easy to apply and the colour is perfect. Sally Hansen Airbrush legs is also terrific for a one night bronzer.

I'm planning to hit the exfoliant hard this weekend and get some fake tan happening next week-I have an event on Thursday night and I'm pasty as all get out :(

OK after just checking out the Glo Bronzer I think I am a bit confused, I was thinking bronzer as in the bronzers like we put on our face (in my mind I had a BIG tub of loose bronze dust and a huge soft brush for application) but seeing the Glo it looks just the same as a tanning lotion, I am guessing the only difference is that it washes off???

I have honestly never used a body bronzer, however I am really impressed with my instant tanning lotion and gradual tanner, the thing that turns me off about a bronzer is the thought of it rubbing off while I am out, I am confident in knowing that my fake tan will stay put. My wonder product is none other than Xen Tan Instant Bronze and Transform, gorgeous colour, gorgeous scent (think chocolate, hehe)

Jemma Cosmetics use to have a brilliant set called Cookies and Cream. The cookies bottle was the dark bronzer and the cream bottle would give you a nice glow and if you put on too much cookies the cream would lighten it up. It smelt delicious and was my ultimate body bronzer. I havent found a new body bronzer unfortunately.

I love the dove summer glow too!!!

I don't like Bronzers..

I Love the Dove summer Glow and Sportgirls body bronzer ! VERY affordable and does the job! (:

I do love the daily moisturisers that contain a little tan that gradually gives you a sun kissed look. :)

St Tropez actually smells fine - they changed their formulation about a year ago so that it didn't have that fake tan smell anymore. It's one of my favourites, although I actually don't mind the Sportsgirl fake tan spray - it's a wash off bronzer with a nice smell and colour at a good price.

Ive tried many lotions and they all smell yucky!! which one have you girls used that smells the best?

I have tried the Dove gradual tanner and it is quite good, although it takes a few applications until you see a result.... I think Model Co do a good instant tanner.

I can't be bothered to apply body bronzer.. Might consider it for the formal though. Love the tip about applying down the front of the legs.. handy!

There are so many good ones these days! Trust me, in the eighties you daren't touch them unless you were crazy. Now though, most have a great colour to them. Some of my fave brands are Garnier (plus I love their sugar scrub that really smooths the skin), Dr. Lewinn's which has an SPF15 in it and a lovely colour and I also love POD because of the colour and less of a smell than most and also has the SPF15.

I am in the process of reading all your product reviews of bronzers as I haven't used bronzer on my body for years. I should start again because there have been big improvements such as no horrible smell and bronzers come in different textures. So I think I will start with Le Tan mousse first - many good reviews on that one. Like Morrigan, I use a face bronzer but that is about all.

I've just started getting back into the gradual tanner with Sunsense but I would love to try St Tropez!
