Looking for a tan that I can put on at night but dont need to wash off in the morning.

Any recommendations would be fab. Need a shake up in my tanning game

Sorry I don’t have an answer but I wonder if such a thing exists! I hope someone has an answer for you.
I haven’t tried everything under the sun but I can’t stand the smell and wouldn’t sleep in it (I tried and had to shower in the middle of the night). Have been sticking to a system of 2 applications of gradual tan during a day I don’t need to leave the house but am busy and it’s the only way I can power through.

What about the st Tropez in shower tan? I haven't used it yet (must try it)

No smell
No washing
Gradual natural tan. I’m not a tanner usually but love this to give me glow in summer ( I’m deathly pale and don’t tan).

Skinny Tan gradual tanner - doesn’t smell like the others, goes on white but doesn’t streak and gives nice even tan in the morning.

The st tropez in shower one isn’t very good in my opinion.

Thanks for the replies!

I just looked up the st tropez one and found the pre shower tan as well

Skinny tan is the best for me

BumbleBree · 24/02/2020 02:02

Bondi Sands Gradual Tanning Mousse is what you need!

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/02/2020 08:33

Superdrug 10 minute tan. I leave it on half an hour, rinse off, pat dry. Job done.

You can leave it on up to an hour.

So many good suggestions now I'm spoilt for choice!! What should I choose Confused

Think I'll start at the cheapest and work my way up on price. Unless I like the cheapest and I'll stick to it !

I used tan luxe which was supposed to smell of raspberries/raspberry leaves. It did until my body warmed up, then it smelt like the usual fake tan!

They all do on me!

knightlight · 25/02/2020 17:54

As pp has said I think most smell nice as they come out then once your body warms up they will inevitably smell.

I like the garnier summer body gradual tan which if I'm really pushed for time I won't shower off in the morning but generally I'd say it's best to shower it off or risk smelling like hot biscuits all day.

Dove summer skin - I sleep in it and have a nice light tan in the morning - cheap & does the job! I don’t notice much of a smell and no stained sheets/clothes etc..

Raera · 25/02/2020 19:56

Sorry to jump on the thread with another question, are any of these suitable for face as well as body please?

mayaknew · 25/02/2020 21:56

Oh good question @Raera !

The new st tropez gel (watermelon) is clear and not too horrid smelling, but only for face .....it does give a decent colour with no orange undertone though.

Kwackerly · 25/02/2020 22:28

Fakebake 60 minute tan is good, no need to sleep in it, you just have to rinse off after an hour. V useful on holiday!

Bondi sands liquid gold

So superdrug had buy one get one half price for their own brand stuff.

I bought the 10 minute tanning lotion and 60 minute tanning mousse.

So used the mousse for the first time last night and I have to say I'm impressed!

Put it one while watching dancing on ice then went in a shower after dcs went to bed. Probably at about 8.30pm.

Colour this morning was lovely! Slightly lighter than I'd normally go but ok for day to day. I've stuck it on again tonight to see what colour it goes tomorrow. If its too dark I'll try doing every second night.

I’m wearing the 10 minute one now but I’m going to leave it on 30 mins.

Just another wild night here 😂

BerryCatHolly · 02/03/2020 20:48

Good choices OP. I’m a fan of the Superdrug tan range. I like the mousse but the ten minute tanner is really good when you don’t have time and want a hint of colour, I always find it’s a bit darker the next day too. Biggest plus of both is no stains on bed sheets.
