Best light tan for arms and legs

8 replies

I am very pale. I would like to try out a tinted moisturiser type product, specifically for my arms and legs. Has anyone got any suggestions? Happy to try a few so that hopyby the summer I will have found one that works for me.

I have seen Dove advertises a gradual self tan, is it any good?

Many thanks 😁

The Nivea Q10 gradual tanning moisturiser is absolutely amazing. Gives a lovely natural golden glow and smells divine!

I swear by the dove gradual tanner! Never looks orange or streaky.

I agree and use Dove too

I like the Dove one but it is incredibly subtle. I'm very pale (though I do tan) and the lighter shade doesn't show up on my skin at all. The darker one is nice for a very subtle colour. It does streak a bit on dry areas so make sure you're well scrubbed and pre-moisturise any dry bits.

I used to use Dove and it’s nice but it works out very expensive because you have to use a lot and it’s a right old faff getting it out of the bottle. I use the St Moritz mousse and just use less…one pump on each arm, one on chest and stomach, two on each thigh and one on lower legs. Use a mitt…you’d need that with gradual tan too. Avoid knees with tan but blend over them with moisturiser.

I like the dove gradual tanner. Prefer the mousse to the lotion though,as it's not as sticky and I don't think it's smells as much.

Nivea is very light, too light for me- couldn't notice a difference so that would probably be a good one for you to try 1st.

I use dove now, the dark shade gives a nice glow.
