Does fake tan go off?

I found some quite frankly, ancient spray tan mousse in the back of my cupboard the other day. Fake Bake from about 2007 I think. Would I be foolish to use it on my legs? What's the worst that could happen??

I would worry it would go v streaky, tbh. I have some clarins self tan, unused for same reason.

Yes, it goes green and streaky. Don't do it!

You will go green, actually the tan itself is probably green by now. Have you opened it?

Right, off to Boots then!

Next question - what brands are good but won't break the bank? I prefer the dry spray mist type as I hate hanging around waiting for it to dry. Is Boots or Superdrug own brand any good?

Yes tea, it was opened and last used in 2007. Better buy some new in that case. I don't want to be too fashion forward and the alien look is SO 3016!

Best one I've bought in recent years is it was a really cheap one. Aargh what is it!??

When the baby's asleep I'll go have a look!

I really rate the St Tropez luxe oil one. Not the cheapest, but dries fast and gives a great result. Cheaper to buy online though, I can see it at Beauty Bay for £17.40.

Cocoa Brown at Superdrug has a lot of fans here, haven't tried it myself.
