Fake tan that’s quick to do and won’t transfer!

[Starfish83]

Hello knowledgable lovelies!

As the weather changes, my skin is getting paler by the day and I definitely look and feel better bronzer! I’ve used St Tropez for years and am a fan of the 3-hour express tan BUT...with a toddling, non-sleeping 1-year old, I don’t have 10 minutes let alone 3 hours to let tan develop and then wash off! So I’m looking for a tan or gradual tan that’s quick and easy to do (and not patchy, of course) that, particularly importantly, won’t transfer onto the baby (who I’m still breastfeeding).

Thanks all! 😊

Gentle bump.

I've been using these drops (isle of paradise or something) that you mix with moisturiser and it's great. Not orange and not smudgy

Thanks new - will look this up!

Vita liberata tan range is fantastic. The best for not rubbing off after application is the instant, wash off one- I’d still recommend gloves to apply as it sinks in fast and really has to be scrubbed off hands. But once it’s on legs/whatever, it’s lovely and won’t shift.

Cocoa brown mousse.

St Moritz is great, about £3 from Bodycare, used it for years and it’s really well reviewed! Just pop it on at night and wash off in the morning, always looks lovely (on my skin anyway!)

I find it doesn’t transfer too much either, although I wouldn’t cost yourself too liberally!

Garnier Summer Body, dries quickly and doesnt streak, only around £3-£4 ,i use it after a shower once a week,it looks very natural, ,i use the deep tan, as i find the lighter one needs 2 applivations to show up
Doesnt smell horrible either
I used to use the Dove one,but preferb this,and use it all year round as it looks natural

St Moritz for me too !

Bondi Sands gradual tan. Gives a good colour for a gradual tan and you don’t wash it off, it doesn’t smell and dries fast, no transfer

I use L’Oréal sublime bronze- I love it! I’m in a similar position children-wise and I just shove it on after a shower every day for 2 or 3 days every week.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions - have a good few to try here! x

I’ve just started using Bondi Sands Liquid Gold Dry Oil. Didn’t think it worked to begin with but the colour develops over a few hours. Just spray and rub in. No mess or transfer

The garnier spray is great. Doesn't show a colour until it develops like the mousses do though. It dries really quick too
