Gradual Tan Lotions

8 replies

I’m extremely pale, think almost translucent! I’d like to have a bit more colour but am worried about fake tan because anything too strong is going to look very odd on me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for gradual tan lotions? I was looking at a Dove on for example.

I find Dove too orange personally. I like the Bondi Sands or Solskin ones. Both give a good colour and fade naturally!

Siena X does a very nice spray for hands, neck and face if that all you want to achieve. I like those products the best in term of colour as I am also very pale.

Nivea Q10 is brilliant. I find most of the others too orange but this just gives you a really nice, natural glow. I always get compliments on the colour of my legs each summer🤣 Very moisturising too

Solskin is a great colour on the naturally very pale.

Garnier. 15x self tanning wipes . Ambre solaire natural bronzer.
buy on Amazon, cut in half. (Keep 2nd half in the sachet well folded over, it will keep moist) use once a week.
rub thoroughly all over face . eye lids. ears, neck

I like Isle of paradise drops mixed into regular moisturiser/lotion. Apply daily until it gets to the right shade, then used once or twice a week to maintain, otherwise it fades over a few days.

The Gatineau one is fab

It’s my legs I’m most bothered by 😂

these are great suggestions. I think I might have to experiment.
