Fake tan - what now?

I am a very occasional fake tanner (maybe once every year, when I decide my legs looks ridiculously white compared to my arms).

I used to use Fake Bake 5 Minute Mousse and LOVED it; it didn't streak, it was a lovely brown colour rather than orange and it went on very easily for someone who doesn't do it religiously. But it's been discontinued.

I recently bought Skinny Tan coconut water tanning spray and it was a disaster - basically the complete opposite to all of the points above. I exfoliated, moisturised my knees, ankles, toes etc but it was still awful. Waste of £20+ sadly.

What can I use - Fake Bake look to have discontinued the 5 minute mousse so I'm a bit stuck!

Anyone have any failsafe tans they use?

Fake bake flawless is good...

But I love Utan turbo stuff, it’s brilliant and doesn’t do streaky and too dark

Fake bake stuff is good though, maybe try someone else from the brand?

Skinny tan was green on me 🙄🙄🙄 absolutely rubbish stuff.

Superdrug 19 minute tan, you wash it off before bed so you don’t get patches.

Samantha Sona is a good tan. Nice colour and doesn’t smell.

St Moritz is awesome - super cheap and really good

Dripping Gold by SoSu mousse in medium is very good. I will rebuy it.
I'm using Bellamianta at the moment but wouldn't rebuy.,

Fab, thanks all! Will check them out and see how I get on... fingers crossed. I like the mousse ones so will have a look.

The orange streaks have only just disappeared from the Skinny Tan disaster!
