Best fake tan for super pale skin?

Can anyone recommend a light, gradual fake tan for extreeemely pale skin?

I used to love the St Tropez in-shower tan in the lightest shade. It only took 3 minutes in the shower, never streaked, and gave me just enough colour to take the moon-like glow off my legs, but was buildable if you wanted something darker.

Tragically, it seems they no longer make it. Some fake tans can be really expensive so I’m not willing to take a chance on a new one without a recommendation!

I should add that I don't actually want to look "tanned" as such, as it wouldn't suit me at all, I just want to tone down the bright whiteness in the summer months so I don't scare people 🙃

Something light and easy and foolproof - help please!

Dove mousse is amazing. I'm very pale and it builds gradually with no streaks

The closest thing I’ve found to the St Tropez is the B Tan ‘Aint Nobody Got Time for That’ - the recommended 9 minutes is a really subtle glow, you can leave on longer for darker and the application is totally idiot proof which is a must for me as I don’t use tan regularly!

I 2nd the dove stuff either mouse or moisturiser. It's buildable and dosent need washing off.

This sounds brilliant, thank you!
