Fake tan suitable for sensitive skin - recommendations please!

Unfortunately my old stand-by of Boots Soltan mousse now seems to have resulted in a really attractive rash over my legs. Which is handy, because it's not like it's nice weather and I'd like to wear shorts...

I'd be grateful for your recommendations for a self-tanner that's suitable for sensitive skin.

I have very sensitive legs and use St Tropez gradual tan. It's fab. I haven't had any flare up whilst using it. I exfoliate with a Sanctuary mitt and moisturise knees, ankles and heels with aveeno before slapping it on.

I'm really sensitive to certain chemicals and most tanners have it in. I use the clarins drops. You put it in your normal moisturiser and they do it for face and body. Awesome fool proof product.

Mine Tan is good.

Ooh the Clarins sounds interesting. I'd wondered whether I've suddenly become sensitive to a chemical in the tanner. I'd started using the Garnier Summer Body gradual tan and I had a horrible itchy rash within 48 hours. Having read up apparently loads of people have had the same issue, so I wrote it off as being the Garnier rather than me!

However the Soltan's brought me out in a rash now - and I've been using it for years. I might have a look at the St Tropez as well. Sincerely hope that I can still use something; I don't have the world's best legs to start with but they definitely look better with a wash of colour on them.
