spacedhopper Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I used the holiday skin by johnsons last year and was quite pleased, but the dove one is supposed to be better karen x i used that, just a moisturiser you understand, and it sent me orange, didnt realise it had tanning agents in it until my OH pointed it out.

Nice subtle colour,nice & moisturising,easy to use - my 13 year old daughter uses it too Its on a 3 for 2 in Boots now also. I had a BIG Boots buy this week,all their suncare is on 3 for 2 as well,so I did a bit of a stock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melcotton Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I bought the Dove one last week and it is great and the olay - I'm a real pale skin and the thought of wearing skirts in this nice weather without a bit of colour was a bit depressing...well thats my excuse anyway!!

ali-s Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Treated myself to the Johnsons Holiday Skin lotion today. After having a bath and defuzzing my legs I applied a dollop of the lotion. Flipping heck my leg was burning after a few seconds . I had to sit on the edge of the bath for 10 minutes with the shower set on cold to relieve the pain Now I have a lily white but beautifully smooth right leg and an itchy, burning, lily white left leg. Maybe I should have done a test patch first Not applied it straight after shaving How does the saying go....... Beauty is pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I've been using the Johnsons one for a couple of weeks - not sure that its had much effect though. Certainly a good moisturiser, but subtle in terms of colouring (or maybe I just forget how very white I was!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 i have bought myself some of the dove summer glow today, i have really really pale skin so even to appear slightly off white would be a novelty. i did a skin testing at the boots evaluation suite a few years ago and they told me and i quote "well, you have paler than the average pale person skin!"

kannie Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Actually my legs do look a bit brown now, in some lights. There's definately a difference but its quite subtle and its taken quite a few applications! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well I've used the dove one and applied it yesterday morning and last night after my shower (not too pleased it is made by unilever ) but used an organic self tan on my face as I don't want the chemicals to undo the good I've achieved with ren products! Anyway I have a lovely glow and I used normal to dark (no point in going in too tentatively) . I will use again today and then use every couple of days or so.

Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I played it safe too Paola,but then again I am pale & normal. I have just bought the darker one for when I have more of a tan,as its still on special offer I am using the lighter shade of the Olay one too,& it gives a really nice colour,but they all take a while to build up.
