Either Johnson Holiday Skin, or Asda gradual tanning

Or better still buy some low %, about a 4, professional spray tan solution and build up a colour to suit, less work, less money, no sticky mess, 1 litre applied with a mitt at home lasts me about a year and I tan twice a week, costs around £25.99. Failing that Dove gradual tanner is one of the best with a nice rich colour, maybe a bit too dark? Garnier and Palmers are less stong but still good as is Boots Soltan own brand. Bear in mind if you are yellow toned fake tan shows up more, so for a subtle colour you need a very weak dha (active ingredient) content, hth

+1 for Garnier. I've also tried Johnson & Johnson and Dove but didn't like either the smell or colour of these. St Tropez Everyday is nice but almost double the price of Garnier. These are all on 3 for 2 at Boots at the moment.

No7 Men Energising Gradual Tan Moisturiser gets a couple of good reviews on Boots.com but is more expensive. I got a £5 off No 7 Skincare voucher when spending £4 at Boots last week. If you've got one of these you could use it on the Gradual Tan Moisturiser.

I buy from this site http://www.spraytanpro.co.uk/, I use Spatan 20% (so very dark) and customise it to suit my skin and yes, I am very very pale with a pink/blue tint however its been years since I've seen that colour haha, I used to use Siennasol from the same site but really like their own brand and its much cheaper, I moisturise in between tans with a gradual tanner as everything else strips my colour and the spray tan solution can be drying over time, I have also used celebrity secrets tanning solution years ago, the product was good and they had a larger range of strengths but delivery was dreadful, I believe they have rebranded now so a google might help you find them.

Its really important you get the right strength for your colouring, check your wrists, if your veins are blue you are pink toned if they are green you are yellow toned, I use a very strong tan solution to get a med/dark colour on my colouring however dd who is a very pale yellow/olive only has to use a very low % and she is darker than me.


I'm happy to help if you have any more questions

Crazy Angel is a lovely natural colour, I spray ladies with this who are natural redheads, just so they don't look glow white, just a hit of a tint.
Smells lovely, not like the usual musky packet of biscuits smell. You can get a small bottle from any good Beauty wholesaler for less than £10 a bottle. Capital Hair & beauty are my local wholesaler.
