Palmer’s Sunless Tanner & Instant Bronzer SPF 15

I used to derive a lot of joy from spending hours under the hot sun working on my tan. Now that I am older and smarter, I find that I can’t spend hours under the sun, it’s too cumbersome. But I dig a good tan so I cheat and turn to self-tanners to get me that fresh-from-Bali tan I so desire.

I bought a bunch of self-tanners recently (yes, I buy most of my products. If you think I get them all for free, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. When companies and PR firms send me products for review, it’s only 1 tube/bottle) and this one from Palmer’s was one of them. The SPF 15 factor was the main draw. It saves me the trouble of bothering with extra sunblock during the day.

This contains an instant bronzer so you do get a hint of instant color. It’s not a deep shade but you do get some color. Another plus is the moisturizing factor – this is from Palmer’s so naturally this contains cocoa butter and Vitamin E (which provides antioxidant protection so more points for this).

The color obtained is natural and very complimentary. I’ve had a few comments about my tan and they are all good. The wallet-friendly price tag makes this one I will keep buying.
