Littlewoods Bingo Tried and Tested: Tanning Moisturisers

This online bingo site says, "It's better to fake it than bake it this summer." You know what it's like, after months of being tucked up playing bingo inside and online in your woollen cardies, the skin below the layers resembles nothing short of the proverbial milk bottle!

Yes, the desire to turn those pasty legs – visible over 100 yards away – into golden, shimmering pins is naturally very high. But while the easiest way is to pop down to your local health centre or beauty salon and jump on a sunbed, this UK bingo site says nay!

There has always been much speculation surrounding the use of sunbeds but the latest investigation, conducted by Cancer Research (and fully supported by Littlewoods Bingo), really is damning.

Last year, there were 9,000 cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in the UK with 1,800 deaths to the disease every single year; almost a third of cases occurring in the under 50s. And when you think now 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men opt in for a bit of sunbed action (that almost as many who fancy a spot of online bingo!), that figure is only going to grow.

Malignant melanoma is now the most common cancer for those between 15-34 with under 35s increasing their risk of malignant melanoma by a staggering, and frightening, 75%. So, join in the Littlewoods Bingo stand, say no to sunbeds and slap on some tanning moisturiser instead. Here's the three bingo best (in alphabetical order):

Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion Like you can rely on Littlewoods to bring you great online bingo, you can always rely on Dove to give you a great moisturiser. Dove Summer Glow is bingo chat master Cleo's favourite as it leaves your skin beautifully soft while giving you a nice glow. But after using it for about a week or so, streaks started to appear; it was like the tan was peeling off.
Garnier Summer Body Bingo chat master Stella swears by this product, finally ditching the streaks of fake tan for this fruity smelling moisturiser. Garnier Summer Body gives you instant results – you can start seeing the glow after just a few applications. However, like many of these types of products, the nice smell fades quite quickly to be replaced with a 'biscuity' type fragrance. But in comparison to others, Garnier is not as apparent.
Johnson's Holiday Skin It's like the Littlewoods Bingo of the tanning world – the best around! Yes, Johnson's is certainly the 'daddy' when it comes to tanning moisturisers – that's why it's bingo chat master Malcolm's favourite. Choose from five different products (light to med, med to dark, night, facial and firming). Johnson's gives you a great, even tan. The only flaw is the smell. Even with the new improved fragrance claims, this moisturiser is still a little on the pungent side.

Bingo Tip – Guys and Girls remember after you've used any tanning moisturiser, go and wash your hands paying close attention to in between your fingers. That way you avoid those giveaway orange marks! Happy tanning.
