Temporary tan advice

3 replies

Hello, just after some advice on a way to look bronzed (or just not pasty white!) without using sunbeds or fake tan.

Or maybe fake tan but with a bulletproof way not to mess up bedding. It always does, no matter which fake tan I try.

A thread on here recommended Sally Hansen products, which I'll give a try, but wondering if anything else out there as I do intend to use it for whole-body.

Even a powder or just anything else that smooths your skin / gives a glow and washes off fully - but doesn't transfer to clothes easily.

If SH is the only option, any tips on use / where to buy appreciated too.

Thank you!

I have tried everything and I mean everything.
I tan quite easily but don’t sit in the sun so I’m pale all year round.
For a temporary colour I love Vita Liberata Body Blur.
For something that develops my absolute go to is Jimmy Coco Mousse in Medium. With the matching mitt.
Neither are that cheap I’m afraid but the second one is on offer as I’ve just bought some.
