Fake tan advice, please, stylish ones

[WendyWeber]

We are going on hol in a month - I will not get a tan whatever I do (I always get red spots on white), so I need some protective colouring before we go which will last 2 weeks if poss (am willing to not wash while away ). I will not be stripping off anyway but it would be nice to have brown face/neck/arms/shins/feet.

I have tried the Dove stuff and it came out streaky and orange and horrible after one go so I'm not trying that again. Should I go for a bodyshop spray? If so what and which shade?

(It's that or a bin liner tied at the neck)

I have spent far far too much money over the years on fake tan!!! It's trial and error tbh, what works for one is wrong for another (hence I've tried loads!!). Salon ones are good, especially if you are going somewhere special, otherwise it gets expensive going week in week out (i'm lucky, I have a friend that does mine cheap!)The clarins one is well worth the money because at the place I've been they scrub you, massage the cream in and you get a really nice treatment whereas with a spray tan they just spray you and it's over in 10 mins. But if I don't use fake tan I go on the sunbed and that's no good for my skin. Good luck!!!!!!

Go to a salon and get a st tropez done its brilliant.Then use their everyday moisturiser to keep it topped up.Looks really natural and I have red hair and am pale too

Nutrisummer is half price at Boots atm for anyone who's interested (so is the Garnier stuff, summerbody? nobody else seems to have used that except my DDs and they both swear by it but their skin is young and lovely and mine isn't!)

Anyway I bought the Nutrisummer today and have just done the legs, will report back

I looked at the St Tropez equiv but it's £12 odd where the nutrisummer is £3.49 at half-price.

noddy, if I have no luck with all the mosturiser tans I promise to go to a salon

(I did it about 30 mins ago and pottered about for as long as poss but am now sitting on a towel to do this, will it rub off the backs of my thighs and leave them pale & patchy?)

No you should be ok! Just be careful!!!!

st tropez works really well on me, the mousse one. It actualyl looks brown and natural.
I've had a spray tan at a salon, and the bloody thing sweated off me as soon as I got to spain, I was not a happy bunny.
Moisteriser ones send me orange and streak on me too.

I'm sure st Tropez was on offer in boots today.

I am trying not to fidget, gm

kelly, the St Tropez stuff is on my list. I have 4 weeks to try everything out!
