Glow rather than obvious tan for very pale legs?

[marinasea]

I'm extremely pale and wonder if anyone had any recommendations for a fake tan for extremely pale skin on my legs, but to give more of a glow rather than any obvious tan.

I would go au naturel but I've had problems with ingrown hairs and I'm hoping it might slightly conceal any blemishes.

You could try mixing a couple of tanning drops with your usual body lotion, repeating each night until you achieve the desired effect.

I use Bondi Sands fake tan (available in Boots or Superdrug) - a few drops mixed in with my body lotion. Easy to blend and no stripes

Dove Dermaspa Summer Revived Fair to Medium is good. I’m super fair. This def doesn’t look like as dark as a tan but it’s just taken the whiteness away from my legs and it was only £3.50 on Amazon. It was recommended on here. Plus you can just slap it on. No streaks. Before I used to mix clarins tanning drops with body lotion. That worked well too 😎

It's more of an "apply when needed" thing but Sally Hansen's airbrush legs is brilliant. I'm naturally very pale but due to my love of jeans my upper body is darker than my lower body. I use it whenever I need to wear a dress and it stays on in rain.

Similar to the Sally Hansen Airbrush is Vita Liberata Body Blur: you only need a very small amount dotted along your leg, then blend in thoroughly, or I just mix a spot with my body lotion in the palm of my hand before applying; it's foolproof.

Agree with the Dove Summer Revived- very natural, easy to apply and never streaks, I've been using it for years (I'm also very pale and use fair to medium)

Very tiny amount of Sally Hansen. I apply over body lotion to dilute a bit, looks good and camouflages blemishes too.

I'm really fair and i use the lightest of face tan cream (dove i think) on my legs just to ease the blue effect. Anything that's for body tanning leaves me funny looking. I don't think that it would cover in growing Hair though? Have you tried those exfoliating gloves?

I have very fair, celtic skin and find Garnier Summer Body Light Gradual Tan Moisturiser quite good

Skinny tan moisturizer

Vita Liberata Body Blur.

Would vita Libra or Sally Hansen wash off in a rain storm down pour?
Been having lots of them here this week!

I use tanning drops mixed with my body lotion, easy to use and you can adjust how much you want. I have the isle of paradise ones in light and their fake tan body brush as I get streaks very easily. I also have in-growing hairs and have found a Korean Italian cloth (bright green, from Amazon) rubbed over my legs at the end of my shower solves this.

For a quick something to ease the blue tinge I always stick on some Rimmel sun shimmer in light. However that’s obviously not going to last if it’s proper fake tan you’re looking for but it does take 2 mins to apply on my legs.
ive just bought Skinny Tan body glow in medium which is a gradual one and got good reviews. Only tried it once but not been on long enough to develop into anything so can’t say whether it’s good yet. However I’ve not gone instantly orange so that’s a good sign!

Bondi sands pink foam is great - I'm so pale and this is subtle and builds very gradually. Great for dry skin too. Highly recommend.

Another vote for the Garnier summer body gradual thingy moisturiser. I am extremely pale and used some of this yesterday and I’m really impressed with it.

Another pale Celt here. I have used the Light version of Garnier Summer Body and it has been suitably subtle, not too orange or dark.
I also use the This Works leg stuff, which is a tinted gel . You do need to rub it in well but it is a wash off tint so easy to resolve if you use too much .

Sally Hansen leg spray does not budge! You need to scrub if off with shower gel and a scrubby cloth!
Definitely won't shift in rain

Why do you need to put orange product on your legs? Everyone seems to swallow the marketing rubbish about how fake tan equals ''healthy glow''. It doesn't. Maybe just try enjoying your skin tone as it is. I am very pale, freckled and blonde and I don't use fake tan, I am happy with just being myself....just a thought.

I use bondi sands gradual tan. Put it on after a bath and it builds up really gradually and just takes that blue/white tinge off 🤣

I second this, just bought the face cream too and it's given me a light natural glow/tan rather than looking like I've been through a spray tan.

Another vote for Dove Summer Revived! Subtle and moisturising.

Sunshimmer in light was my go to for years.I have now switched to Sally Hansen which is excellent and because its a spray goes on very easily. Doesn't budge either.

Vita Liberata body blur is excellent, and good for putting a 'soft focus' on scars and blemishes. I've used both this and the Sally Hansen (much cheaper), they both work but I find the choice of shades helps with vita liberata, and I'm pretty pale. Also the Sally Hansen is runnier, or a spray, the body blur is more of a cream so easier to apply. Neither come off until you wash with soap, no issues in the rain.

Whitehorsegirl makes a good point, that we could just embrace our paleness.
It's the corned beef issue that I don't like, though.
