Foolproof fake tan recommendations needed to convert me please!

I have lost another thread I had asking if there were any new fake tans on the market that may convert me so have had to start another as I forgot to write down the recommendations!

I have found EVERY fake tan I have tried has gone patchy and streaky, faded in a blotchy manor and smelt vile. I think someone recommend skinny tan (but I don't know which one of that make to try) and I think bondi something??

I'm naturally pale so don't want old style mahogany st tropez! I would be greatful for any recommendations/tips!

Sorry - came back to say no you don't have to rub the garnier stuff in which is why I like it so much. Just spay it on and let it soak in.

I also use the clarins drops and mix with my foundation and I like these too

May I recommend sunless solutions. I am a beauty therapist and this is the brand I use for spray tanning. It's very natural, doesn't smell of biscuits and wears off evenly. They do a retail range of home tanning products. (I dont work for them! I just really love their products)

Skinny tan is amazing stuff, goes on easily and never streaks, no orange elbows. I use it once a week.

I've recently bought bondi sands in dark. Honestly I think it's great but I'm a fake tan wearer all year round. People have asked if I've been away since wearing it. There is a guide colour on application so no streaks and it smells lovely. I know it comes in a range of colours. Use a mit to apply tan and moisturise knees, ankles, elbows, hands and feet before you put it on.
I think the more you wear tan the more you get used to it but it can be a shock the first time. Good luck.

I think it was me who suggested skinny tan. All of them can be washed off after 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or left on overnight.

I am very fair and dont tan at all, and after reading about it on here, now use Bondi sands mousse - the moisturising mousse that you just apply and leave to dry (no washing off required). It is without doubt the best I've ever used, I apply it every other day (i think every day would be too much) after showering and leave to dry whilst applying make up.It's been a revelation for me, and Superdrug often have a buy one get one half price offer.
