Hi I am pale and need a fake tan I can buy on the high street tomorrow- so no online products .
I have never used one before so don’t have a clue where to start .
Any recommendations?

St Tropez mousse and mitt is quite good. They sell it at Boots. It’s one of the more expensive ones but I’ve used it before as a newby and went well. I’ve heard Bondi Sands is good but I haven’t used it. Just go for the lighter one they do as fake tan mistake is going too dark. I normally sleep in it overnight and wash off in the morning. There’s a good YouTube video online for st tropez. It is advised to shave 24 hours before. As well as moisturise and exfoliate. Of course remove and deodorant and makeup before applying. I’d recommend purchasing a tanning mitt for application and someone. Reaching the whole of your back is quite a challenge aha. And use and old towel you do not mind getting tan on. Hope this helps

St moritz mousse is just as good and a lot cheaper! You can usually get it from Superdrug or quality save if you have those around you. Definitely use a mitt to apply x

St Mortiz is good but use a mitt to apply.

Also moisturise knees / elbows / ankles tonight as these bits are always dry and go orange when fake tan is applied
