Hi,

looking for a decent fake tan that i can put on my legs, is non streaky and doesn't wash off easily.

Anyone got any recommendations? I used the Ambre Solaire self tan recently which looked really good on the day it was applied but my legs were hideous after that - all streaky and came off on the towel in patches for about a week afterwards

Help - wanting to bear my legs this summer without having to shell out a small fortune trying them all.

St Tropez is the best one that I've tried, yes it's pricey but well worth itSmile ...do remember to exfoliate well before applying!

Sali Hughes reviewed some in this Saturday's guardian. Results should be on their website.

I have pretty much tried them all. At the mo I love Johnsons' holiday skin light to med. Build it up gradually putting it on before you go to bed over a few nights. It avoids the sudden tango look, is a lot less faffy than the coloured tans that mark everything and it's inexpensive.

Dove one's good as a gradual built up one. Not expensive but....don't be tempted to pile it on. It's sticky if you do and you don't go any darker. Just use as a body lotion before bed. Smells nice, too.

Get the med to dark one.

I'm finding Dove's summer glow is really good - gradual build up, and no orangeness or streaking either.

Told ya!! Hear hear for Dove!

Lancome Flash Bronzer is lovely, and easy to use also.
