Fake tan, but not too dark

4 replies

I would love to find a fake tanner which leaves someone very pale with just a hint of tan!
I am naturally very fair and tan a little in summer on my arms/torso. But my legs often don't see the sun and are very, very white.

I'd love to find a tanner that will just look like a slight hint of tan. I have tried many of the main brands like St Tropez, Bondi, Tan Luxe, Garnier, Dove and a few others.
I just find they all look a bit unrealistically dark on me, or sort of 'dirty' looking.
I had been contemplating the Amanda Harrington range but I'm just not sure. I am going to a outdoor concert next week and would love my legs to look a bit more healthy 😊

I am happy to spend on something a bit more pricey if it delivers a lovely, light tan. Any ideas or anyone else in search of this? Everything I read is people saying the tan isn't dark enough for them.

I am very fair and rely on fake tan for a bit of colour. I found a lot of fake tans gave an orangy uneven tan, but recently read on here to try a darker shade instead. I tried the Dove dark, instead of my usual light) and the colour is great. People have commented on my tan! I tend to use that on arms/body, and then use Sally Hansen Lovely Legs (in light tan) on my legs. Fab coverage but realistic colour.

I came on to suggest Amanda Harrington

The different undertones really make a difference

I like the Tropic Summer skin gradual tan. You can build it up to the colour you want, i have very pale legs but this never looks too orange.

Yes I liked the sound of a more olive tan. With Amanda Harrington, I got the impression her olive tone is darker than the Rose one? Or is it literally just the undertone and similar colour intensity?
