Hi everyone and welcome to the first ever product blog for CH Chemists, where we will be giving you an honest opinion on new and exciting products hitting the cosmetics market.
Today we are talking about a tanning range which is new to CH Chemists. Vita Liberata fake tan was voted best organic tanning range in the 2011 Image Beauty Awards, and to be honest, we cannot argue much with that accolade. We will talk more specifically about the Extra Rich Silken Chocolate, which is a tinted, odourless gel for hard to tan skin (perfect for us pasty Irish). The consistency is similar to that of the Rimmel Sunshimmer lotion range. There is no odour and this tan is suitable for sensitive skin (as I can well testify to). Quite pigmented, it spreads evenly and adds a touch of colour immediately. We would recommend using a tanning mitt for application as the gel is so pigmented it is difficult to rinse off hands and there is nothing worse than the accumulation of tan in between fingers! The tan will darken over the next six hours – so applying it before bedtime is probably your best bet.
The colour that develops is a lovely golden brown that lasts for a few days. This tan is almost foolproof streakwise. The only disadvantage is if you like your tan that little bit deeper you may need to apply two coats. It is a bit expensive at €29.20 for 200ml, but for no smell, no streaks and no reaction to sensitive skin, it is worth it. As someone pointed out to me,”one bottle is cheaper than a full body spray tan” – sure how could you argue with that!!!
