Golden glow?

4 replies

Now the weather is warming up, and the layers are coming off, I need a golden glow.

I’ve tried and failed so far with tanning drops. I tried some the other week and ended up with orange legs.

I see so many women (mainly teens) with gorgeous glowy tans.

What products should I consider to give me an all over golden glow? One that I can build on and only takes 2-3 slathers a week?

Please educate me on how I do this. I look so much better with a tan.

The youngsters don’t use anything buildable. Straight on with the self-tan. Mousse and a mit. Try St Tropez classic, not too dark and has a guide colour. Pat the mitt on your face when you’ve finished your body.

Following with interest. I'm completely clueless re tanning and more than a little scared of making a mess! I've tried the Dove gradual tan over the last week and it's made me orange which was my worst fear. I have naturally medium olive skin ( and look a bit yellow/green) so I probably need to look for something suited to my complexion. When I tan naturally I turn a nice rich brown colour.

following. Sick of how my pale legs look. When I do tan naturally I go a light golden brown so would prefer that colour.

I use the Coco and Eve tan - after a coupe of hours you can wash it off. I couldn’t sleeping fake tan 🤢
