Self tan recommendations

Going to a wedding next Saturday and don’t have time for a spray tan, what do you recommend to get me healthy looking in a week? I’m happy to use something that I can build up gradually over the week or something overnight as long as it doesn’t streak. I used to love st tropez in shower tan but it brings me out in a rash so had to stop using it. I’m very pale with dark hair so probably looking for something light/medium.

The best I've used are St Tropez mousse or dry oil and bondi sands mousse. Neither of those go streaky and give a nice non orange colour.

Don't/ can't use it but recently read (thread for cheap, great products) on here someone got the most realistic fake tan with a product called Fake. I think it was from Home Bargains but I can't say it if it was a spray, cream, lotion etc

I bought some Tan Luxe last week and OMG it's amazing! Put 3 or 4 drops into your moisturiser and it's such a natural tan, doesn't smell of digestives either Grin.

It's quite expensive but I can see it lasting a long time as you only use a few drops. Also I have super sensitive skin and not had a problem with it.

Ooh @ShmooBooMoo's link has some Tan Luxe in it, I didn't get the oil or water tho, I got the drops. Tempted by the oil now

Cocoa Brown is so good, you get it in Superdrug. The medium shade is a really nice subtle very natural tan. Not a hint of orange. I’ve also never streaked and it wears off more evenly than any other product I’ve ever used,

Someone on here recommended the new tanning water - it's bloody amazing, most natural streak free tan I've ever had.

I got the light as I'm pretty pale

Thanks, never heard of some of these before. Off to see which are available on Amazon prime or boots click and collect!

If you’ve had rashes before do a patch test 24hrs before you use it all over.

I've just recommended the Tan Lux lotion and it's great. Only need two applications to have a lovely tan.
