My legs (skin tone) are awful and in summer I never ever wear shorts and skirts etc. i don’t tan. Ever. I have pale skin so I have blue veins that will show up. The worse part are my knees…. I have horrible knees. Im not that tall so I look like I have 2 sets of knees on each leg… I don’t know why, they are just quite big?? But what makes it worse is they are red, really really stands out. They look permanently bruised or like I have sat on the floor on my knees for hours?! Fake tan never ever works I have tried them ALL. Always patchy. Gradual tan the lesser of the evils but I won’t ever go much darker no matter how often I use it. I exfoliate and I moisturise religiously. Are there any wonder products?? Even if they are designed for my face? My knees are the worse. I have tried products to try to lighten the skin, like for pigmentation type things but have had no joy, although I haven’t tried loads.

Any skin gurus that could help me please??

To find a dermatologist you can google your local hospital dermatology department then look up the doctors names and see where they work privately. Or the other way round, google local private derms and see if they work in the nhs. There’s probably other ways but that’s what I do.

@WellTidy I put hand cream on my feet and knees first as a barrier then blend it all in . It would do that too ok My legs if I didn't use that method !

Yes the Superdrug tan is a normal fake tan but after trying every fake tan under the sun I do find some develop better on my legs than others, most don't develop at all.

The cheaper ones (solait/ st moriz) are the ones that seem to do a better job leg wise in my opinion.
