Or perhaps also ones to avoid?
My legs always look pasty white even with self tan on. Clearly I’m not doing it correctly or the product I’m using is a bit crap.
I prefer ones that I don’t have to wash off.

Superdrug 10 minute tan but I leave it on 30 minutes and rinse off.

I've just bought Amanda Harrington in rose (I'm pale with blue tones). I've tried the spray on my face applied using the brush and one application left a lovely subtle glow. Will report back once I've tried the mousse on my body and legs.

@BigButtons Grin I sound like an orange woman from towie reading that back!
I do it once a week it really does look very natural.

St Moritz mousse (light) applied with mitt on legs.

Tan Luxe drops mixed with moisturiser on body/face.

I’m milk bottle white and look orange in anything else.

The trick especially With legs for me is to exfoliate and moisturise every single day before applying tan (except the day I actually apply tan). Any less and I get dry patches or uneven bits that the tan clings to. If I do exfoliate (gloves) and moisturise it is virtually foolproof.

Honestly I am deeply deeply crap at this stuff and ghost white and even I haven’t messed up St Moritz tan yet. Plus it’s cheap.

The gradual tan moisturisers are the best for me. I like Dove or Nivea use every couple of days on arms and legs Smile

Skinny tan mousse and coconut mist.
Absolutely failsafe and lovely colour.

I'm very pale and use Isle of Paradise drops in light.
2 drops for my face and 4 drops (mixed with Nivea basic blue lotion) for my body.
I actually love it.
