Johnsons's or Dove tinted moisturiser

bobsa1

I'm very fair skinned, pasty white & would like to start getting a bit of colour. Iwould like to try one of the new moisturisers which builds up colour gradually, as I have a big night out next friday.

Can anyone tell me which is best and where I can get any of these on offer.

Many thanks:j

The Johnsons one is on offer at Boots at the moment at about £2.15. Be careful though - I got the medium skin one and ended up looking like an orange!

you can get the one for light skins and the one for slightly darker skins

I used the Johnsons for fair skin and had a really good result using it over 2 nights. I exfoliated before using it and used it very lightly over elbows, knees and ankle bones. This was half price in Boots (£2.39 I think) but I'm not sure whether it's still on offer.

I've got really pale skin as well and I use the Johnson's fair skin one. It gives a nice colour after a couple of applications, I'd call it a tan but other non-pasty people might not .

I was reading an article in a magazine that said you are more likely to go orange if your body has a higher acidic content. It recommends using a Ph balanced moisturiser first to reduce the acidicness (made up word!) in your skin and wait about 2 hours before applying the fake tan. Then apply vaseline to your cuticles, eyebrows and hairline and a bit more moisturiser to your elbows, heels and knees.

Thanks to all who have posted. I got the Johnsons one today on bogof from Morrisons. Will try it tonight!
