Can anyone recommend a nice fake tan please?

Preferably one I can get in boots or online. I am quite fair so wouldn’t want anything too dark. Thank you.

Clarins tanning drops. Just buy the body ones and add to any moisturiser. It's a lovely natural colour and I'm very very fair. Doesn't rub off, even used it on my wedding day as I knew it wouldn't mark!

I love Bondi Sands, I use the dark but there are others

Mollie mae is very good

The Isle of Paradise 30 min express is the best I’ve tried. Goes on a dark brown/grey colour so you can see where you’ve missed a spot etc. Develops in colour over 4 hours, you choose when to shower it off. I usually do an hour for a light glow or 2 hours if I want something deeper. Used it a few years now, love it. It’s sometimes on offer too!

I tried the Isle of Paradise drops & they were dreadful

Bondi sands fair to medium works well as long as you exfoliate and then moisturize before

YesHonestly · 30/04/2025 16:50

Isle of Paradise spray is the best I’ve found, and I’ve tried a lot!

The clarins drops seem like the easiest to apply. Do you think it would work with e45 cream as I use that as my body moisturiser?

Any moisturiser is fine. I use my face cream for my face and add drops too. It's the same formulation as the facial drops, no need for separate ones.

I’ve just started using tanologist and really rate it. Also started using a brush rather than a mitt for the first time so maybe it’s the brush making it blend better??

Daffodilpup · 24/05/2025 15:09

I’ve bought the Claris drops which seemed the easiest to apply but not noticing a tan developing yet. I use it every night. How long did it take for people to see a hint of colour?

Solskin, a relatively new brand. I’ve used them all and I promise you this is the best by far. Read their reviews

PaintDecisions · 24/05/2025 15:31

How many drops are you using OP?

Daffodilpup · 24/05/2025 15:35

I’m using 6 as suggested but then that’s applied to moisturiser that will cover my whole body. Wondering if I should do 6 drops for one leg, 6 for tummy etc??

OP posts:

Yeah, I do three drops per limb / whole face basically but I'm very pale so I have a very light application for my skin.

Bountychocolate · 24/05/2025 22:35

Garnier Summer Body Deep tan is the dreamiest and you can't go wrong with it.

A bargain too!
