Even skin tone when you are pale

I'm quite pale and happily so, I burn in the sun and personally dont go for the tanned look.

My skin tone is quite uneven in places, blotchy legs, visible veins and I've heard that self tan is good for evening your skin out.

I'm after something that will work like a fake tan to even my tone, blend everything a bit, but pale, if that makes sense?

I dont think such a product exists, and likely anything that makes your skin paler is probably frowned upon for obvious reasons. I'm not looking to whiten my skin, but kind of match how it is right now rather than tanning it and just even it out a bit?

Hopefully your S&B gurus may be able to suggest something suitable to even my skin out on my arms and legs, that wont make me tan or orange?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Tan-Luxe ‘the Gradual’. Just great - a moisturiser that slowly builds a bit of colour. I’m Celtic with Stilton legs and this improves things a lot!!

A light coloured bb cream might work. I just got one from no7 that slightly blurs my pale skin and just goes on top of moisturiser.

Or a tinted sunscreen? I use Australian gold factor 50 mineral sunscreen which goes on nicely and has a v subtle colour

Mac face and body foundation mixed with a wee bit of lotion would probably do the trick for legs without changing your skin tone at all.

Oh sorry I just saw it's for arms and legs you're after but I was thinking of face
