Fake tan

Options
when will fake tan companies realise when you tan you go BROWN not orange!!!
ive tried so many, and find the spray sort works the best, but i have a problem. when it was the hot weather the other day i got a dark tan on my arms, then a line where my tshirt was then white skin above!!!
i bought the garnier spray one off the advertto match it up, but as usual, its orange.

i cant afford anything expensive, can you tell me which is the most natural looking fake spray tan which lasts a bit, and isnt bloody orange!!! thanks.

    at the moment johnsons holiday skin is half price in superdrug, I think it's about £2.50.

    they have a daytime spray and night time spray, and it's different to others as it just leaves a very faint tan, which builds up over a few weeks.
    It's lovely, doesn't streak, and is definitly not orange! lol

    Johnsons will not only make you orange...............it'll make your clothes the colour to match!!!
    Try Nivea holiday sun, in Boots (some) and Superdrug its on special offer, which includes a face tan as well.

    hehe....

    well I had no problems with johnsons, but found the nivea a bit sticky, and it smelt funny.

    strange how people react differently to the same product!

    It amazes me when I see one after another , young women with a nice light brown tan on upper body and then you look down and there they are the orange legs with even brighter orange ankles.... don't people ever look in a mirror at themselves before venturing outside... :D

    I've used the Johnston's and found it was good but went a bit too orange if I used it for more than 3 days in a row. I think it depends on how light your skin is to start with.

    Hi,

    I always use Fake Bake..it never goes orange on me..just a lovely brown..looks like a proper tan. Im happy with it and a bottle goes a long way as the cream is quite thick so u only need a little bit at a time.

    ok..well im covered in orange garnier. the thing is that on my body its worked really nice but on my lega its bright orange and patchy, even though i applied it exactly the same (i did all the exfoliating etc, followed the instructions exact;ly)
    how can i get it off my legs!!!!
    and is there a browny red spray i can buy that you can see the colour so you dont miss bits? thats what i really need!

    Has any one used the L'oreal sublime bronze airbrush fake tan?? This looks easy to apply even to hard to reach places and was wondering if anyone has used it yet?
