Neutrogena Nourishing Glow Body Moisturiser review

NORMAL TO FAIR SKIN

In my(and your) quest to look less "ghostly" white, I have purchased and tried a new self tanner.
Although....it's not quite marketed as a self tanner per se. This is the right kind of DIY product us people with albinism should go for to not look like an hoompa-loompa.
I'm talking about daily moisturiser that GRADUALLY build up your tan, and don't just make you go orange after ona application.
I had heard from a black fellow person with albinism( I HATE the word "albino") that they had achieved pretty good results with this, so I thought to go for it. I had been looking for it in Boots but with no luck, for some reason they don't retail it. But! The other day I found it in a €2 shop! I thought "if it goes wrong and have to end up giving it to someone I know, at least I have only wasted €2 !".

So, let me start by saying I am quite happy with the tan result. As I mentioned above, it's a gradual tanner which means the tan builds up day by day.
It takes about 3 or 4 hours for it to start developing and overnight it works its magic. It doesn't have that strong biscuity fake tan smell when you put it on, but it does show up after about 3 hours and it lingers on for a few hours. I have to say it is quite streaky after the first time, however after you apply more the second day, it blends in quite easily.
As for the "nourishing moisturiser"...it didn't do too much of a good job. It did leave my skin silky but for only about 3 hours, so now I mix it with a normal moisturiser. It takes quite a while to dry and obviously you can't get dressed whilst it's drying; of course you could put clothes on, but they would stain.
I made the mistake of applying this after shaving in the shower and some areas of my legs did sting for a few minutes, although not so long that I had to hop back into the shower.
One negative is: it does NOT work on marks. I have a few scars on my legs and unfortunately a big amount of stretch marks(thank God restricted to the top of my legs) and this cream didn't too well on those areas.
I am always a bit wary about applying self tanners on my face, so I decided NOT to try it on this area.
Below are a few photos I took today(after the second application)

I will be doing a video review very soon as well so you can see the results better.
Leave a comment if you have any questions.
Also I would like to say that the layout is NOT definitive just yet, I am still fiddling with it. Some of you told me they preferred the old one, graphycally wise so did I, but it was a bit hard to read... So bear with me whilst I look for the right combination...
Ciao for now
