Fake Tan Lotion ... What one do you recommend ??

[smiles4u]

Hi all,


What FAKE TANNING lotion do you recommend ?


I'm after one that doesn't look orange, that doesn't streak when applied, doesn't peel & doesn't smell too much


I have natural medium colour skin (I'm not fair, olive or dark skinned)


I don't mind if it's a moisturising one & I'm not concerned if I don't have a dark tan as such ... just something to add a bit of a sunkissed glow to my skin for Summer coming up

Thanks in advance ... from Lorelle xox

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!)

after watching the trials they did on extra about tanning lotions , i went and bout palmers coccoa butter one , one of the cheapest and it rated one of the best in self tanning ...

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?
