Gradual fake tan that doesn’t stink!

I’m sitting here waiting for my Bondi sands fake tan mousse to take affect… counting down the minutes until I can wash it off! I do love the colour and the fact it doesn’t smell… but I’m fed up of the application and then having to shower again so it doesn’t wreck my bedsheets.

I really love the colour of Bondi sands gradual tanning lotion, the shade seems to work really well on me and it sinks in so lovely, really moisturising… but I can’t stand the smell of it. Even after showering it smells like chocolate, coconuty disgustingness. Can anyone recommend a good tanning lotion that doesn’t stink?!

This is my favorite at the moment . Great colour when developed and a lovely smell

Ooh, water mousse?! I’m intrigued. I’ve never tried St tropez apart from their face mist (which has surprisingly good colour pay off!)

Amanda Harrington, definitely. It’s fab

Vita liberata, doesn't really smell of anything, my moisturiser is very faintly scented and the vita liberata is even lighter scented than that, no fake tan smell or artificial scents to cover up a fake tan smell.

Just googled Amanda Harrington, never heard of that one! Is it the gradual tan you recommend? It sounds great tbh, the ingredients look good. Noticed it has Shea butter though… does it smell of that?

Ooh, just googled vita liberata, sounds good, like the fact it seems much deeper than usual gradual tans. Another one to add to the list, thank you!

I’m going to end up spending a fortune!

Skinny tan moisturiser one is fab and though it has a slight cocoa butte scent going on there’s no smell once dry

I watched a sciency programme once that experimented with people eating a whole red pepper every day for a month. They developed a beautiful glow. Not much to do with their previous skin colour as some were assorted shades of white and others where assorted shades of Asian (easy and mid), Indian and others. They all developed a 'glow' they didn't have before.
I think if you eat raw red and orange things every day it'll give you a lovely colour, whoever you are Smile
