Does a self tan like this really exist?

I am fairly pale skinned and feel its now time to start feeling a little bronzed.

Whenever I've used self tan and gradual tanners in the past they have always sat in the pores on my legs, face and arms and looked horrible.

I'd love something that makes my skin look smooth, glowing, bronzed and not streaky. I don't want to be really dark just a sun kissed glow for now, but then getting darker as summer approaches

Am I asking too much or does a product really exist? Hmm

Amy Childs fake tan mousse! I rave about this stuff having previously had the same problem as you.

I hate St Tropez, it comes out orangey on my very pale skin, the Amy Childs stuff comes out a lovely colour and isn't too dark at all.

Don't shave before you do it, I shave 2 nights before and exfoliate and moisturise a day before.

I wash my hands then I squeeze a little tan on the backs of my hands and rub them together..

I've always shaved and then tanned straight after, the following morning I can see it in my pores. So will try shaving the night before then having a quick shower and then apply tan

I will apply in front of a mirror and try to make sure I don't miss any bits. I will also buy a mitt.

Boots here I come, I want to be bronzed Smile

Sorry - thought I replied. Vani t is about the same price as San tropez, not dark no but you can layer it in suppose - quite natural looking not too smelly
