Fake tan doesn't work on my legs! Any ideas?

I use Isle of Paradise tan and it just won't take to my legs! Everywhere else is nice and brown and my shins are white 🤦🏼‍♀️ is this the tan or just my legs?? I was thinking of trying the skinny tan coconut water but I don't wanna waste my money if it will just happen regardless. Anyone else had the same problem?

How do you prep?.

Twitchett22 · 25/06/2020 18:51

@fluffycloudland77 i don't really 🤦🏼‍♀️ i just shower, shave, dry off then apply my tan. I'm generally not good at moisturising but I am going to make a conscious effort to do it more

Skinny tan will work.

Shave 24hr before, shower at least 8 hrs before but only dab oil free cream on the knees.

A full pipette in a blob of moisturiser and rub in well and evenly should do it. Repeat in morning of not brown enough

I use a wash off one. Doesn’t run off on clothes etc but goes on nicely. It’s St Tropez.

I always double up on my shins as mine are always paler too. Just make sure to avoid the knee and ankle/foot. I usually pat it in to my shin rather than swipe.
