Review: Lovely moisturiser smells nice needs 2 to 3 layers - Love this gradual tanner. It builds up to a lovely colour. After 2 to 3 layers, I am fair skinned and got the medium to dark colour which works well because I can see a visible tan with just one use although is still quite light but it is very moisturising smells lovely. Just be careful too really rubbing well in circular motions to avoid streaks. Review: BUY BUY BUY!! Best gradual tan moisturiser I have ever brought! - Okay I rate this 100000% better than Bondi Sands tanning oil. I brought both, but this one is absolutely streak free, hasn't stained my knees or hands, brushes over the tops of my feet very nicely.. I didn't think it worked at first or wasn't dark enough for me but, boom, 24 hours and it is a beautiful colour and blends in nicely, as I had shorts on at the time and just wanted to try it out!! Recommend 100% if you haven't already gathered!! Oh and the smell........ I could smell the fake tanny smell at 24 hours, was a lovely smell when applied, but partner doesn't say he can smell it!! ## Features - SUN-KISSED GLOW: Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturising Lotion helps build a radiant, sun-kissed looking glow all year round - 24HR HYDRATION: Suitable for face and body, this moisturiser intensively hydrates all day long leaving your skin feeling soft and supple with a gradual glowing tan - FAST-ABSORBING: Summer Body is formulated to be fast-absorbing with easy, uniform application for an even natural looking tan - DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED: Garnier gradual tan moisturiser is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin - Contents: 1x Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep, For A Radiant Sun Kissed Glow, Suitable For Face & Body, 24 Hour Hydration & A Natural Even Tan, Fast Absorption, Vegan Formula, 400ml ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003MPKA78 | | Benefits | Gradual build-up of a natural-looking bronze glow, providing 24-hour moisturisation and sun-kissed appearance | | Best Sellers Rank | 60 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 3 in Body Lotions | | Brand | Garnier | | Brand Name | Garnier | | Country Of Origin | Poland | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 12,110 Reviews | | Full Cure Time | 8 Hours | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03600540584434 | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Weight | 400 Grams | | Item form | Lotion | | Manufacturer | L'Oréal | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Garnier, London, W6 8AZ. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3600541025752 | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Vegan | | Material Type Free | Oil Free | | Model Number | 3600540584434 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product benefits | Gradual build-up of a natural-looking bronze glow, providing 24-hour moisturisation and sun-kissed appearance Product benefits Gradual build-up of a natural-looking bronze glow, providing 24-hour moisturisation and sun-kissed appearance See more | | Scent Name | Apricot | | Size | 400 ml (Pack of 1) | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | Dry, Sensitive | | Skin tone | All | | Skin type | Dry, Sensitive | | Unit Count | 400.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Garnier - **Item form:** Lotion - **Material Type Free:** Oil Free - **Skin type:** Dry, Sensitive ## Images ![Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep, Face and Body, 400ml | For A Radiant Sun Kissed Glow, 24 Hour Hydration, Natural Even Tan, Fast Absorption, Vegan Formula - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lwipkx9gL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the tan buildable?** A: Yes, this formula contains a hint of tanning active to gradually build a natural-looking bronzed glow in harmony with your skin tone.

Thankfully I’m on the mend now, but my skin clearly didn’t get the memo — especially my legs. I’m in the gym most days, usually in shorts, and between the lack of sun and the dry, dull skin, I decided it was time to do something about it. At first, I was just looking for a simple moisturiser to revive the skin on my legs, but then I stumbled across the “Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser.” The reviews were solid, the price was under £6, and I thought, why not? A bit of colour wouldn’t hurt. It arrived the next day with Prime — always a bonus — but when I opened the bottle, I was hit with a scent that stopped me in my tracks. Wow. I can’t sugarcoat it — the smell was pungent. To me, it’s not pleasant at all, and it seemed to cling to my hands even after washing. I even tried to return it, only to discover it’s one of those non-returnable products. Not one to give up easily, I decided to improvise. I grabbed a pair of disposable latex gloves (the kind I normally use when prepping food), jumped in the shower, and after drying off, applied a thin line of the moisturiser down each leg. I took my time working it in, making sure it was evenly spread and absorbed properly — the texture is rich but not overly greasy, and after a few minutes, it left a slightly tacky finish. The next morning, I was honestly shocked — in a good way. My legs were smooth, the dry skin had completely disappeared, and the colour... well, it looked like I’d just come back from a two-week beach holiday. Not orange, not streaky — just a healthy, natural glow. Even better, the results lasted. I didn’t reapply for over a week, and the colour only began to fade around day eight. The moisturising effect lasted even longer — my legs still felt hydrated and looked far healthier than before. So, while I’m still not a fan of the strong smell, I can’t deny the impressive performance of this product. It does exactly what it promises — hydrates dry skin and builds a beautiful, gradual tan without fuss. If you can get past the scent (or use gloves like I did), this is genuinely a fantastic moisturiser with the added bonus of a natural-looking tan. Highly recommended — it’s a lot of sunshine in a bottle for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Summer Body by Garnier Moisturising Lotion Deep 400ml - Sacheu Lip Liner Stay-N Peel Off Lip Stain — Long Lasting Matte Lip Tattoo Transfer Proof Lipstain Infused with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E for All Skin Types — Vegan & Cruelty-Free, p-INKED --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48818029-garnier-summer-body-gradual-tan-moisturiser-deep-face-and-body](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48818029-garnier-summer-body-gradual-tan-moisturiser-deep-face-and-body) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
