Quickest drying fake tan?

Currently using Clarins self tanning instant gel on the body and although I guite like the shade and it doesn't really stain stuff, it takes ages to dry. It feels sticky for a bloody day. Also not keen on the smell.
My thinking is mousses are better, but which one?
(I use Dior Bronze on my face since it's the only one that doesn't make me break out, really like it and goes a long way.)
Also need advice on a good tanning mitt please? Got a cheapy St Moriz one and it feels too flimsy, like my (short) fingernails might break the seam.
Many thanks!

BPerfect 10 second tan dries quickly (hence the name), I put it on in the morning and went out for the day without it being noticeable.

I wear a latex glove under the tanning mitt to prevent my hands staining if any mousse seeps through.
As for mousses, Bondi Sands is my reasonably priced favourite. Dries quickly, smells like coconut and has a guide colour - all of which means you can apply and then just go about your day. Only drawback is that it transfers a bit, so try to avoid light coloured clothes and bedsheets.

Amanda Harrington mousse does a similar job - doesn't transfer as much, possibly fades a bit more evenly but it's £££ dearer

That's a great tip with the Latex glove. Will check out both Bondi Sands & Amanda Harrington.

The Clarins Milky Lotion self tan is the quickest drying I've found recently. Love the way it doesn't stain clothes either and wears off gradually and evenly.

Vita liberata spray dries instantly, like 20 seconds. It is in a square shaped bottle in Boots.

Thanks all, I really appreciate this.
