Fake tan for BROWN skin

Any recommendations?

I can't for the life of me remember what I used (about 10 years ago) - I think I sprayed it on and developed over time. I have Fitzpatrick type 4 skin, not necessarily aiming to go darker but found that fake tan gave me a lovely glow and evened out my skin tone (possibly made me look slimmer) and definitely made me feel great in summer outfits.

Anyone have any idea what on earth I need to try?

When I was a spray tanner we used to have ladies with Asian and black skin come for spray tans because they likes the dewy glow it gave them. You don’t say how brown your skin is already but I’d Try to for something like a tanning water or something which says it is moisturising or has a ‘sheen’ or ‘glow’ we used xentan but I always find skinny tan to be a good brand too

Oh sorry you did say your skin type! I’d go for skinny tan

I'm probably somewhere along the 4th row. This is my natural colour but not uniformly - eg. my legs see the sun far less/ are always paler than arms.

I remember feeling like fake tan made your skin airbushed / even / smooth. I'll check out skinny tan.. I wonder if its one that develops over time or like body makeup (sally hansen airbrush legs, I remember having one of those years ago)
