I dont know why but I can never resist buying loads of sun lotion. I've a shed load left upstairs from easter and now I've just taken delivery from boots of
3 cans of piz buin active spary,
2 bottles ambre solaire clear spray
and another extra 3 bottles of normal Piz buin

Just been to my local tesco and they are selling off the Piz buin 1 day long for £6 . sounded like a bargain so got 2 boxes . :que
PS just seen the superdrug offer of the 200ml tubes . Looks like I didnt get as much of a bargain as I thought . these are only 100ml .That will teach me :sulk

Im going to buy either Hawain tropic or amber solaire oil its a bargain in quality save..but I am gunna buy a higher factor cream or spray for the 1st few days, aswell as my nivea sun spray, I must say though I bought some of the beta carotone avon pre tan cream, and have been using it with my elemis along with a few sunbed sessions and Im already very brown,so I should hopefully be brown as a berry when Im in spain in 2 weeks..its 100 degrees there now.. :sun2

Avon Moisturising Lotion with Beta Carotene, can anyone tell me does this product stain your hands when you use, in other words is it colour intenisfer and stains your skin, or does it just enhance as it says on the bottle, I have just brought a bottle, and can't seem to find any english instruction on it.

Cheers Bobby

The label on the bottle should be peelable. The English instructions are inside the outside label - does that make sense :que

No it doesnt stain your hands, but be careful with light coloured clothes as it can stain certain fabrics. Ive never had any problem with staining, but I do know that a couple of members on HT had big problems with it.

I love it, and use it throughout the summer not just on my holidays and it does keep my skin "glowing".

Thanks for that, I have found the peel off label, but I still can't see the english instructions, even with my glasses on!!! :(

Will give it a go, I can reember ages ago now I used something simular to enhance your tan, and my hands went a terrible orange colour!!

Bobby Joy,
The instructions say-

Moisturises the skin during sun exposure and maximises tan. TO USE- Apply before/or after sun exposure. ADVICE- Over exposure to sun is a serious health threat. CAUTION- Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with water. Do not use if rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. May stain fabrics. Provides minimal protection from sunburn. Does not provide UVA protection.

Thanks a lot for that, that was really kind of you, cheers. I just wonder why the instructions were not on my bottle. I kept going back to have another look, but alas, maybe I can't read english :rofl

not on my bottle either.
Maybe the instructions aren't on all the batches :think

It took a while for me to find the English version on mine. I peeled off the label and there were more foreign instructions underneath on the actual bottle but the english was on the sticky part ( underside of the label).

:wave: Well I have always used Zhuzh tan intensifier ( with great results I may say) but thinking of trying Piz Buin tan intensifier,I have heard it is very good.Has anyone tried it. :que

Hi franny
I either use Piz Buin or Lancaster Tan Optimiser depending on which I can get the best deal on. I couldn't honestly say whether either make any difference as I've used nothing else for so long, but I'm happy with the results.

:thanks Thanks sun addict I will certainly have a look at the 2 of them now. ;) xx
