Which is your go-to gradual tan cream?

[Mrspimplepopper]

Which gradual tanner do you really rate? In the past I've used dove but it seemed to feel sticky for ages after i applied it.

I am pretty rubbish at applying. I'm looking for one which is as easy as applying moisturiser after the shower...not too much faffing iyswim

Thanks

I use the Dove one, it smells ok and isn’t orange, I always use the dark ones.

Yes I would love some recommendations too.

I use St Tropez gradual everyday lotion (light-medium) It dries quite quickly and the colour is gorgeous and natural looking. Lasts a long time too. It can smell a bit but I think that's hard to avoid with any tanning lotion - unless anyone knows one that doesn't smell?

The smell is the chemical that makes the colour.

It works by staining the bacteria on your skin, bit gross. It that’s how it works.

I used to always go for St Tropez but I’ve recently tried the Isle of Paradise gradual tan and it’s brilliant. Easy to apply and great colour.

Tan luxe. Not so gradual as a great colour after two applications.

I use the Garnier one and am developing a lovely colour. Easy to use and non-greasy.

The Garnier one just dyed my moles darker and gave me that "strawberry pit" look.

I use the dark Dove and have no problems with it.

Bondi Sands. I used to think St Tropez was good until I tried this. It's bloody awesome.

Seconding Bondi Sands (Gradual Tanning Milk). A little more expensive, but worth it.

I find Garnier Summer Body in "light sun kissed glow" (bleeugh) pretty good for taking the corpse look off my legs. It doesn't give me a tan as such, because I only use it every couple of days.

I just slap it on then wipe a damp flannel lightly over my knees and heels.

Irish heritage has left me with very pale skin and I take a while to tan. I use the palmers gradual moisturiser. Only issues are human error. I can even put it on my face and not fear looking orange - need to top up every couple of days so it's never an issue if I've applied it badly whoops!!

However have beeen advised to try st Moritz??

St Tropez gradual = pretty good. It doesn't smell.

Tan luxe butter - brilliant

Put off St Tropez by friend who chooses wrong colour (too dark), applies badly and doesn’t wash their hands afterwards. Frankly put me off 🙂

Tan luxe feels like moisturiser, looks natural and doesn’t smell horrid :)

Palmers cocoa butter bronze gradual tan - absolutely brilliant!

I have typical white, Irish skin and this tans me beautifully, never streaks and doesn't have that vile biscuity smell.

Decleor aroma confort

Smells lovely, colour is amazing, fades evenly. It's the best gradual I've ever used, I always go back to it. Worth every penny.

Oooo i think im gonna try Bondi sands. Just off to look on amazon
