Can anyone recommend a nice fake tan for pale skin?

I've recently discovered this and I love it. I use a mitt to apply it and I've had no streaks. Good colour, too, on my pastey, blotchy legs. Definitely the best I've ever tried. They do light, medium and dark.

Might order some more seeing as Boots has a third off just now!

I'm super pale and use Balance Me tan drops.

Bondi Sands Liquid Gold. I've got very pale skin and love this one. I don't feel orange when it's on

Thanks @CatInADoghouse. The reviews for Bondi Sands look great. I'm going to pick one up tomorrow and give it a shot!

Bondi sands mouse has been a game changer for me!

Mousse!

Both my sisters use Bondai Sands, and they're pale. I bought some yesterday but haven't used it yet. Need to prep my skin first!

I've just bought some Bonsai Sands. Can I just ask, does it run off on the sheets at night? Odd question I know😂

CatInADoghouse · 25/07/2019 10:04

@Meercat2 yes it rubs off a bit onto the pillow and sheets so best put on old sheets before going to bed with it on! I've never found a fake tan that doesn't do this though

Bondi sands is my go to! Just make sure you exfoliate before you slap it on! It lasts sooo well too!

Does anyone know how it reacts when you put sunscreen over it after you've built it up?

I'd like to know this too as I intend to go full on fake when we go on holiday and will be using factor 50.

Also agree with Bondi Sands, discovered it when we were in Australia.

I'm an absolute convert to the Isle of Paradise drops in Light. Zero streaks, no smell, really natural colour and you use your face lotion!
