fake tan

which one do i go for? i tried dove, no 7, nivea, loreal and johnsons last year all to no avail.

the ones i didn't try were piz buin, olay, garnier, boots soltan. so which of the 4 are going to leave me all streaky and should be avoided like the plague?

btw i always exfoliate and use a mitt so don't tell me to do that!

If you can afford it st tropez is brilliant No streaks natural brown colour not orange at all

Which kind are you using - the full-on fake tan or the body moisturisers that have a bit of fake tan in and you build it up?

I use the second type (either Dove or Johnsons) and have found them to be really good - takes 2 or 3 days to see a difference but it looks good and less likely to go streaky.

from someonem who is a total arse when it comes to tanning you cant go wrong with the St. tropez mousse.

Just smother on the moisturiser and whack it on, 3 days in a row and voila lovesly streak free tan

(oh dont forget to wear latex gloves to apply)

i am deciding between piz buin and olay but only because they are slightly more expensive so my mind thinks they will be better. knowing my luck it will be the cheapo boots one that will be best!! just remembered i did try the garnier one and it went really orange so that can be crossed off my list!! i can't believe i've tried so many!
