A nice light fake tan lotion that doesn’t streak? I’m pale!

[Weloveflowerss]

Any recommendations? Thanks

I like the dove one!

Definitely the Dove one!

Thanks, there’s so many on Amazon which one is it?

Pretty sure they all streak unless applied well. Nothing is streak proof if it's not really really well spread and rubbed in

Bondi sands gradual tanner is nice, but I still have to rub it in with a mitt and be pretty careful or it streaks - I think they all do.

I've used them all (also pale) and I always tend to end up with patchy bits, even if I prep well. Every year I seem to convince myself I've finally acquired the ability to apply fake tan (or gradual tanning moisturiser) and every year I prove myself wrong.

Bondi sands pure self tan foaming water (with a mit) is my absolute go to. Prep well and exfoliate the day before, moisturise every day (with and without tan).

I use the Dove gradual lotion but mix it up on my hand with my usual moisture cream for arms and legs.

St tropez - it’s retro but still the best in my opinion. I am pale and have tried lots.

I like the Dove one too - but I might take more care with it if I was baring huge swathes of flesh.

Il Makiage is excellent. I’m absolutely corpse-coloured, and shit at applying fake tan, but for once I had success. Dead easy to apply, not orange, lasted well, no streaks, faded fairly evenly.

It’s expensive, though.

Dove gradual tan and alternate with normal moisturiser

Corpse-coloured! This is my new description of me now.

Bondi sands with a mit. I’ve never had streaking. The only issue I have is bedtime and I forget and cross my legs!

Pale is in, I have just decreed it so!

Also the dove gradual tan. Medium gold coloured bottle. I've recently started using it, alternate between that and normal moisturiser

Dove medium applied with a mitt for me and I am ginger. I actually use it on my face every 3-4 days through winter so I don't look quite so corpse like.

As an blue skinned person I recommend isle of paradise drops. You put them in your body lotion and you can control the amount of oranging.

Another recommendation for the dove one. I prefer the gradual mousse format, as it's not as sticky and never ever streaks on me.

I would always recommend the Bondi Sands gradual tanning lotion - tinted skin perfector.
It is amazing - it is chocolate brown when you put it on and actually smells really nice.

The thing that made the most difference was to use a tanning brush! It honestly gives me the best result and is so easy to use. If I use this twice a week I have a lovely colour.

Can't work out how to link items but here's a photo of what I use (literally just tanned myself so excuse the brush being messy)

I use Vita Liberta tanning wipes, really easy to use and smell lovely. Can be pricey but I got some from vinted for a fiver. Tan lasts for ages as well.

I use Isle of Paradise Light tanning foam. It goes on with a colour so you can see bits you’ve missed. Only one I’ve managed to not mess up!

Can I ask a stupid question about tanning drops @Menopants please?

when it says use a few drops in your usual moisturiser, is that for your whole body, or for every handful of moisturiser? Do you need to mix up a whole
body worth before you start?

Vita Liberata gradual. Believable buildable colour, easy to apply, and doesn't make you smell of biscuits.

I wasn't that poster, but I also use drops. I use a body lotion with a pump and work out the ratio, i.e. 1 pump of lotion to three drops of tan (or similar). I mix up enough for one leg at a time, then another batch to do both arms/shoulders. It might take a bit trial and error to work out the correct ratio for you.

Just got coco and Eve medium and a tanning brush. Never been a massive fake tanner but really impressed with the colour and streak free (I think it was the brush)
