So far I have tried:-

Johnsons ~ (a bit wishy washy)

Dove ~ nice colour but goes patchy after a few days

L'oreal nutrishimmer ~ really like this but went streaky on my legs.

Piz Buin ~ just about to try this. Got it as it was £4 and it's normally £8. Will let you know how I get on

Oh and I also tried Ambre Solaire light spray. I felt it was a bit orangy!

Am I addicted ?

The johnsons one went very streaky on my legs although it was really hot the day i put it on and it sort of slid off. But i would recommend it for the top half.

it went streaky on me and it wasn't even hot.

[anger]

I've yet to find one that does not have that disgusting smell - I've tried loads, from cheapies to really expensive. I get a migraine from the smell and none of them look that great on me. It must be my skin as loads were recommended by various people.
I can't cope with the smell, it lasts for days, weeks even!!

My DH wasn't too happy when he discovered I had bought fake tan. He said I thought I was a footballers wife !!
I still haven't forgiven him for that.

I have a natural tan now though. It only takes 15 mins of sun and I'm brown. Too hot to top it up though.

I wish my legs would go as brown as my face. I tend to put a higher SPF on my face but it still gets darker than my milk bottle legs.

Good luck in your search for a good one.

The very very best one is Garnier Summer Body, I used it before my friends wedding and everyone thought I'd had a spray tan, it took about a week of daily applications for it to build up, but I had absolutely no streaks at all!

Boots No 7 naturally sunkissed lotion. This is lovely. I put it on every day mixed with a little moisturiser first to dilute it a little and the colour comes out lovely. I also use the naturally sunkissed facial moisturiser every other day. Both of these are the best ones I've tried so far. I'm not really impressed with Johnsons Holiday skin, I found it went orange in parts. I've also tried one called Ecotan fom QVC, its a clear spray and does produce a nice colour but the spray can sometimes go everywhere if you're not careful. I put some on in my bedroom and some of the spray must have landed on the carpet, which gradually turned yellow.
