    I use Holiday skin, it's a moisturising one.It works really well for a light tan and it doesn't streak.
    But...It does kind of smell! I usually put it on overnight and wash it off in the morning, that way you don't have to go out in public smelling like weetbix (that's what I think it smells like!)

    Sadly I think they ALL smell a bit off.

    For a special event I would go a spray tan from a beauty salon, or sessions on a sunbed.

    The Palmers Cocoa Butter one is great to build up a nice tan as a moisteriser.

    The one I am using this spring so far and am loving is Fake Bake Original Self Tanning Lotion

    Can you tell I hate it when I have lily white skin??! LOL!

    Does anyone else react to these lotions?

    I have no allergies whatsoever and have tried so many different kinds from DJ's to cheap stuff but without fail it works well......for 2-3 goes before I get itchy bumps on the backs of my knees!

    I have given away bottles and bottles of the stuff - anyone else cop this?

    At the moment i am using Napolean Perdis. Its in a mousse and relatively easy to apply. I usually get proffessional spray tans all the time but since being pg i havent. I cant say that i have used this all over my body but i do use it on my legs and i have been really happy with the result. You can gradualy build up the tan over a few day.
    It smells kind of like coconut, not super yummy but not gross either.
