Gradual tanning moisturisers

6 replies

Hello. Please tell me about your favourite tanning moisturiser - I mean ones that tan up gradually. My understanding is that they are different to fake tan in that they build up gradually and more subtlety - is that right?? I'm very pale, so I don't want to look like a TOWIE extra, and I also don't want something where I'm going to have to wait ages before I can get dressed, or where I'm going to smell odd Smile.
TIA

I bought the Clarins ones (one for face and one for body) a few weeks ago and am impressed. You add a drop or two to your usual moisturiser. They don't smell of sorry biscuits. I am very pale two and have been using about 3 times per week.

I read about that - do you just add according to how tanned you want to be?

Yes. I just add a drop each time, just to counter my almost blue legs...

Great, I'll check that up - I, too, have legs of the bluer variety!

I like the Dove one for light skin - first application you can barely notice so you can build up over a few days

Dove for legs
Clarins for face
I burn easily but arms,shoulders and chest go pale gold just from gardening
Rest of body too old to expose
