Best gradual tanner?

Would like a bit of colour on my white legs before my holidays! Something easy to apply, not too whiffs and non-streaky. Is there such a thing? TIA.

The L'oreal and Garnier ones are the best gradual tanners that I've tried.
Don't streak, look natural and smell fine. They're both lotions though so seem to take a little longer than usual to dry.

I used the Palmers cocoa butter one the other day. It didn't streak but was very effective. After one application I looked like I had renal failure and I had orange hands.

Approach with caution!

thanks Uterus. I use Palmers usually, love the smell. Might give the tanner a body swerve though! Would prefer not to have orange hands. Although - would you be able to apply with a mitt do you think? Or is it the wrong consistency/texture? Would usually do sunbeds for a week before my hols, but given that the only bit of me that needs doing is the lower leg it seems expensive/time consuming.

There's no reason you couldn't apply with a mitt; I normally use mousse or lotion with one.
