Wash off fake tan for pale legs - any recommendations?

Thinking ahead to warmer days, can anyone recommend me a good product? I'm looking for a wash off fake tan to take my legs from white to lightly golden, not orange, and which doesn't run or rub off on clothes or seats, nothing shimmery, suitable for dry skin. Budget options welcome but open to all suggestions really. Thanks!

I used Primark's £3 a tube one last summer and found it really good. I am very pale and it looked a nice colour. Tip: don't overdo the amount you put on and spread it out well.

I'm very pale and used Bperfect medium shade last year. It was designed by someone form Belfast so perfect for pale skin. It looks very natural and doesn't smell as bad as most tans. It's £25 but there's honestly loads in the bottle. Lasted me all summer.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Another vote for Sally Hansen airbrush legs. I’ve used it a few times on my very pale (and very bruised) legs and it’s like foundation. Had lots of compliments about it looking a lovely colour. I found it does look a bit matte so I spray hairspray over the top to give it a nice sheen - seriously it works a treat.

Any faux tan can be mixed with body lotion to make the colour match skin.

Sally Hansen meant I wore skirts daily last summer, love it and it's so easy to use.

Yep, Sally Hansen!

Sally Hansen here too - no transfer, blurs out thread veins, and you have to really use soap to get it off. I spray on a mitt and then rub it in with that for a lovely smooth finish
