Fake Tan: Can anyone recommend a really good one for pale skin?

I'd prefer to have it done professionally but if you swear you have one that is fool proof - suggest away.

Any recommendations?

I use Dove tinted moisturiser thingy stuff and occasional St Tropez mousse. The airbrush is too wasteful I find.

My skin is olive undertones but I go 'ill' pale out of the sun.

I top up with instant Tan lotion for a quick deeper tan for a night out if bare legs/low neckline.

Vinnie Jones' ex wife said to me at a party "that is the best fake tan I've ever seen" rofl

I use Clarins self tanning gel (not the milk) when i can be bothered, it lasts a lot longer than having a spray tan done and the colour is good - I have v fair hair and freckles.
Buy the latex gloves from St tropez for application.

Clarins gel.
I am very fair. I mix it 50/50 with body lotion to begin with, then build up the colour a little over a few days.

Clarins, Clarins, Clarins. Expensive but worth it.

I have recently discovered the Body Shop fake tan, and it's great. Normally have a spray tan if going out, but BS one pretty good for when I'm too busy/skint to do that!

My skin is so dry it's unreal so I need a really good moisturising one too. Someone suggested St tropez everyday - is that any good?

Yes, I've used the St Tropez everyday - it smells nicer than most and applies pretty well but it takes aaaages to build up using the fair to medium strength

I need to use a good exfoliator too - what's a good one for dry skin?
