Recommend me a DIY 'bottle' tan please!

[erebus]

Never used one before as I'm far too old for that sort of nonsense but at Easter I am going to have expose my pasty body to the Australian SUN.

What would you recommend, plus any application tips?

I have very fair skin and just want to get rid of the day-glo effect rather than giving myself a dark tan. I always go for the very light formulations like Johnson's Holiday Skin (you can get lighter and darker versions). With these you don't get a sudden change but if you use it as a moisturiser the tan builds up over a few applications. This means it doesn't matter if you don't apply it perfectly.

Plus, you can sometimes get it for a pound in poundland .

Oh, and don't put more than a tiny bit on your knees or other bits of scaly skin or you will get a dark patch...

st moritz from TJ Hughes i think for £2.99 has been compared to St Torpez but it washes off easier. Ive used and am useless at fake tanning and had really good results
