  • try dove I must say I have never noticed that the Johnsons one smells. Also I like Eco tan however I am so useless at applying tan to myself!

  • I swear by St Tropez (the mist spray), it does have a hint of smell but it is not overpowering.

    St Tropez have just brought out a new one called Everyday and I must say it smells lovely.

    Also, Xen-Tan is gorgeous, smells like marzipan a little bit :)


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
  • ooh I have never seen a mist one when I have a fake tan I go and get a st tropez though leaving the salon like I have had a mud fight is not attractive!

    i use the superdrug one, Solait, it's gradual and doesn't go orange (i'm as white as a sheet, so my mum tells me, so after a few go's with other ones i tend to go a funny colour lol), its a foam so easy to apply. Best part is it actually smells nice :D and its only around £4 :D

    Hey, you should try the 'vie at home' range, I have pale skin but find it amazing plus the cost is ace. :j

    i think they all smell a bit like potatoes!!
    aaltho i quite like faketan wipes, they are easy to apply (just like a babywipe, so you can make sure that all areas are moist) and tan appears overnight and gradually wears off.

  • I think with fake tan you often get what you pay for, I've tried some of the cheaper ones and they are orange, streaky etc.
    This site has some of the more expensive brands like Clarins/Lancome etc at lower prices: shop.co.uk

    My favourite is sheer bronze tinted self tan face gel, ever since my mum bought it for me I've been addicted!!

    I am after a good fake tan too. I have heard that the L'oreal Sublime Range is quite good, or the Piz Buin click dial one, but all a bit pricey to try out to find that they not good.

    I have been using the Nivea Gradual Tan Body Lotion....well it must be very gradual cos I dont notice a great deal of difference and I am a right pasty!
