Fake tan for yellow Bart Simpson colour skin tone!

I have incredibly yellow sallow skin tone all over. I am described as 'cool' in colouring but have some warmth, ie. some red tones in dark brown hair, freckle a bit in Summer etc. I have always been very yellow based but due to illness and medication I have become more yellow. I was a complete fake tan devotee and have tried them all - St Tropez, Fake bake, Xen tan and lots of the moisturisers. Looking back though I often would look either very orange or more yellow. I would like to look just a bit healthier really as I am on the very yellow pale side at the moment ie. I would like to look 'well' rather than 'I have just got back from the Caribbean'. Can anyone recommend me a tan or a gradual moisturiser that works on my skin type? If it helps, I've got a brand new Vita Liberta gradual tan for pale skin at home, a Xen tan gradual tan for pale skin and St Tropez gradual tan for pale skin, fake bake spray thing but looks v dark and I'm scared of it! I'm prepared to spend a bit on it if I achieve the 'not just dug up after 20 years' kind of look! Tia.

Sorry, not sure if it's relevant but I have an Irish background and have dark hair, blue eyes and yellow skin!

I've got pale sallow skin and I really rate the loreal spay tan in light. It's the only one that is similar to my real tan and doesn't go steaky. Think on offer in boots at the mo

Thanks Mumelie, I will give that one a go I've not tried any L'oreal ones before.
