What's the best I can use that isn't going to cost a fortune? It needs to be something I can put on easily myself with the minimum of fuss please

I don’t think it’s the best but it’s cheap and easy to apply Dove. Great on arms chest areas with excellent results.
However, I haven’t perfected my legs yet and find whichever brand I use and however I apply it I have problems. My legs are Lilly white whatever I use my heels toes and ankles go dark coffee coloured? So I could do with a recommendation for them.

Mine Tan, Bondi Sands or Eco Tan.

I second the new Dove one. I normally use St Tropez gradual moisturiser but saw this on offer in Boots yesterday. No horrible smell & very easy to use (just remember to wash your hands with soap afterwards).

Re. toes etc I always put a bit of normal moisturiser on those area first and then use the gradual tan sparingly in those areas 😀

St Moritz it’s cheap, has a guide colour so you can see where you’ve put it. I’ve spent a fortune on tan and I love this. The medium tan is lovely and I never get streaks

I love ‭St Moritz. It’s about £4-5 and is easy and streak free everything I’ve used it!

St Moritz or Cocoa Brown

Great thanks for the recommendations - do you use a mitt to apply or just bare hands?

Always use a mitt x

I always use a mitt, I've never had streaks. I use it once a week, so I always have a light tan, as I hate the sun and sunbathing.
