Light tan for everyday?

7 replies

LadyAstor · 20/11/2022 15:23

I'm blonde haired and blue eyed with the sort of pale skin that shows veins through it, so I'm looking for an everyday light tan to take the deadly pallor away.

Can anyone recommend something that:

Doesnt smell
Isnt greasy
Wont stain sheets
Gives a nice pale golden glow
Isnt orange
Isnt drying

Happy to pay a premium for quality, as I'll only be doing my face, neck, arms, hands and feet.

Things I've tried so far which have failed to deliver:

Bondai Sands - Light - foam
Skinny Tan - Light - spray & drops
Vita Librata - Light - Lotion
Dove - Light - everyday tan

Thanks in advance

I think what you are looking for is called the holy grail of fake tan!

The Amanda Harrington gradual tan is very good, tip off from another MNetter!

Ahh, I’ve looked at that a few times but can’t find any real reviews or practical application or development details (just pictures of the lovely Amanda anointing herself with it slowly) 😄

I might give it a whirl.

Tan luxe ‘the water’. There’s a bit of smell but less than the others I’ve tried. Not streaky and not orange on me (fair, neutral skin tone)

In the past I’ve tried
st tropez in many iterations
dove gradual
garnier
skinny tan gradual
xen tan
vita librata
lancome
clarins

Bare by Vogue is worth a go

The bondi sands gradual lotion is nice, slight smell but not too bad.

Ive not heard of Tan Luxe or Bare by Vogue but Thanks for these. I'll give them a try.
