Fragrance-free gradual fake tan

Does such a thing exist?

I once had a moisturiser that was supposed to gradually stain your skin over a week or so, to give you a subtle 'sun-kissed glow' without sudden changes or troublesome streaks. The idea was that once you'd got to the level of tan you liked, you then switched back to your usual moisturiser and only used the staining one every 2-3 days to maintain the colour.

It was a disaster on my face (I looked like I'd eaten too many carrots!) but worked perfectly on my legs. On my legs it gave just a subtle colour, a suggestion that this was not the first time in 12 months that my knees had seen sunshine.

That's the sort of thing I'm after, but it has to be fragrance-free.

Any ideas?

Vita Liberata is fragrance free, also doesn't smell. You can also get tanning drops to add to your own moisturiser/body lotion, there was only one brand I found that made those fragrance free but the reviews were mixed. It was by Löwengrip.

Clinique self sun body tint mixed with moisturiser. I’ve used the deep one for my arms and face and it worked really well. If you’re pale I would use the light/medium shade and start off with a drop mixed in. The body tint can also be used on the face as it’s better value according to my local Clinique ladies.

Thank you!

I had no idea that you could make your own self-tan!
