Its fake tan time again!!!

Every year about this time i do the same look for fake tan, i am very white almost milk bottle but want some colour..i think!

But i want a gradual tanner so i can control the intensity, i have tried dove(orange) and johnsons(stings face) so thought if i spend a bit more maybe i might get better results???

Has anyone used the St Tropez everyday stuff, i've read plenty reviews but never sure about them, my mate who is very pale uses the the other stuff by st tropez and raves about it.

I have seen that i can get the body everyday 200ml for £11.90 delivered which is good but can you use this on your face, is it really a different formula for your face or just a gimmick to get you to buy more...i would only need to reapply every couple of days so would work out very MSE :D

Thanks for any help x

    i love the everyday stuff, i use the pale skinned one and ive never used the separate facial tanner but when i put it on my face i mix half and half with moisturiser so its not too dark, seems to work for me!!!

    im also really white and it produces the best colour for me.

    £11.90 is really cheap as i recently paid nearly £14 for it, can i ask where i can buy it from at that price.

    St Moritz is a fake version of st tropez you can buy for £2.99 a bottle in home bargains or a little more online. Worth trying out :)

    I'm using Vita Liberata (found in Boots) which promises no smell, although I can still smell it as it's 'developing' but it is a lot better than some I have tried. There are two varieties - Warm (for pale skins) and I can't remember the other one. It does recommend using their seperate face tanner, but tbh I've just used the same stuff and it's fine. Not orange which makes a nice change. I've used it twice now and will apply some more tomorrow. It's not very dark, but then if you're as pale as you say, you will appreciate the control you can have to build up to the intensity of colour you require.

    I'm very happy with it and would probably buy it again.

    Forgot to say it was about £11 I think; not cheap, but worth paying for not being tangoed!

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Am I missing something? It's quite sunny outside lately...couldn't you just stand there in the sun for a while? Fairly sure that's a more MSE way to go about it...I'm as pasty as they come, but even I'll darken a couple of shades in this weather...

    Using St Tropez at present and it does give a nice natural looking tan to my pale legs!
    Tried Johnson's stuff but the smell was terrible.

    I've never been a sunbather really, always under a brolly, it just gets me too bothered and sweaty :D

    Plus think of the wrinkles ;) .

    Thanks all for your suggestions, some i've not heard of before :)

    I was googling it yesterday and found it at this shop but it is the medium to dark one only and maybe that might be a little too scarey on me :eek:
