Here's a selection of recent features in the UK media about Famous Dave's self tanning products - The very best in fake tanning!
Fake Tanners on Trial: "Best for instant colour with minimal mess."
"This tanning mousse is really easy to apply and goes on dark brown so you can see exactly where you are putting it. When I had a shower the next day I was left with a nice natural golden tan which was impressive. It absorbed quickly and actually has a nice scent, not biscuity like some other self tanners. I would highly recommend this product."
Tried & Tested: Famous Dave's Spray Tan salon treatment
BEST FOR: A chic mid-tone colour in a semi-matte finish, this spray-and-go tan dries instantly, so you can go straight to work or hit the town.
OUR TESTER SAYS: "I chose New York,the lightest tan on offer. My friends told me that the colour was even and natural. It also faded slowly, maintaining a nice, even colour to the end. I'd definitely have this tan again."
Score: 5/5
Tried & Tested: Famous Dave's Tanning Mousse Gold Edition
"I can honestly say this is the best self-tanning product I have ever used! I was amazed at how easily it went on - drying instantly, so I could get dressed straight away. It developed very quickly, giving me an amazing natural golden tan, and there were no orange or streaky signs. I'll be buying this again - it's well worth the money."
Score: 10/10
Four of the Best Fake Tans
#1. 5/5 Rating: Famous Dave's Tanner Self Tan Wipes
"Amazing. You can top up your tan in an instant and they were so soft on my skin. Individually wrapped, they're easy to pop into your handbag for touch-ups. No mess and no fuss. I've told all my friends about these."
The Easy Peasy Tan
"You can never guarantee the sun on holiday, but you can always fake a tan. Of course, the classic in-a-bottle formula tends to leave most of us browned off in the wrong way - it's sticky, it's streaky, it skinks and it's liable to leak all over your white D&G evening wear. Luckily, there's a new solution: stash a pack of Famous Dave's self tan wipes in your luggage. Tear it open on arrival, smear it on and in just three to four hours, you'll be looking golden brown - whatever the weather."

Hello!!
I had to tell you how impressed I am with this tanner. I have been using self tanner for over 10 years and never have I come across a self tanner that not only has no odour, but actually gives me a beautiful tan without streaking, orange colour or a dirty muddy look. I was amazed when I woke up and looked in the mirror, it looked like I had been away on a tropical vacation!!! I will definitly be back for more!! Top Notch product.
Thank you!

Over the last few years I have tried pretty much every fake tan product available on the market, but have never been completely happy with the results. I have recently used the Famous Dave Tanning Cream and love the fact that it is extremely low and dries immediately, so no soiled clothes or sheets! It also gives a very natural colour with a long lasting effect that fades gradually without going patchy. I would never use another tanning product again! Thank you.
