Is it too early to start fake tanning?

Now the sun has made an appearance, albeit not all day, every day. I was wondering if it's too early to start faux tanning

I feel that I'm looking washed out, but don't want to look like I've been on a two week holiday, somewhere really hot

What do you think ladies, is now too early?
Any suggestions on a tan that applies nicely but isn't too dark?

No, it is not too early. I'm slapping some on this week after catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Christ! I look like a freshly exhumed corpse.

Those gradual tanners (I like the Dove one) are good for this time of year, I think. They take the blue tinge away. If you're going full tan, St Moriz is fab (and a bargain).

I like the clarins drops. You add drops of product to your body lotion & can do a lighter or deeper tan. It's a lovely golden tone. I always do my neck cos it's about 3 shades lighter than my face. I can never get foundations to match well otherwise

I use it all year round.

Not oompa loompa orange, obviously, but just a light self tan (Clinique) that lifts my complexion from grey/white Grin.

Do it. I did my first coat of Dove this week.

Only thing is in this weather it's not great waiting for the stuff to dry before getting dressed. Way too nippy!
