Best gradual fake tan

9 replies

Trinny80 · 20/07/2018 20:01

Hi I’m going away on holiday and I’m quite pale, don’t tan very easily.

I’m wanting to use a fake tan whilst away, one that you put on every night to gradually build a natural looking tan that doesn’t fade easily or look patchy.

What would you recommend please.
I’m in the UK

Thanks

The dove one is ok. Very cheap. I only use it on my legs.

I've tried a few cheaper ones over the years and not been impressed with any of them. This year I've been using the skinny tan gadual tanning moisturiser in light. It's a bit more expensive than most, but it's by far the best I've used so worth the money. Plus it doesn't smell too bad either.

I use st Tropez gradual one. Really realistic and lovely colour, plus I have super sensitive skin and have never had any problems with it.

I love the st tropez in-shower one. Rub all over, stand for 3 minutes and gently wash off. It builds each time you apply. No stains to your sheets unlike any other fake tan that you just rub in and leave.
I've never had any streaks with it either and it's definitely less orange than the rimmel/garnier bottle ones.

Thanks for your replies. The ones you e all recommended how long do they last? Obviously I’ll be going in pool/sea so won’t last that long but if I’m putting on every night should it be ok?

Dove only lasts a couple of days.

I put st Tropez on about twice a week (plus swim twice a week) and it never strips it off completely I always look lightly tanned. I only use the lighter one though as I am pale so you would maybe notice the difference if you were using the really dark one? It never streaks or looks patchy though. I think I might try the shower one that sounds good too!

I bought the St Tropez in-shower one after reading about it on here (🐑) and it's great. Just slap it on, wait a few minutes, rinse off and you're done. It takes a few layers to build it up, I found the light one too light even for my fair Irish skin but the medium one is perfect. Really natural, even golden colour, no orange tinge and no streaks.

Ooh will give that a try! Thanks @VetOnCall
