Best Fake Tan

Options
Ladies and Gents

I have been using sunbeds on and off for years

Ive decided it has to stop because of the dangers.

SO...

What is the best Fake Tan to use.

I need the Quickest, Easiest, most realistic and cheapest!

Ive tried St Tropez moose which is quite expensive, the coverage is good but you cant go out till the next day when it washes the remnants off.

Bit of a hassle

So please pass on your tips!

Also how much would i have to pay to go on those sunshower, spraytan thingies?

    The spraytan booth thingies cost around £30 a pop.

    I didn't get on with the St Tropez mousse either, but then I switched to the cream stuff, and started to mix it with some moisturiser before applying and it is MUCH better :)

    I read this article with interest though a couple of weeks back :)

    i am a fake tan fanatic. Johnson summer skin lotion med/dark is brill.... you can use it on your face and every where it gets darker the more u apply.
    everyone at uni asked me what type it was!! could only get it at tesco keeps selling out everywhere else. costs £4.97 n well worth it..


    sainsbury's own with sun protection is good for legs. costs £ 3.97 and lasts ages.

    i do use st tropez as well £15 from asda, good for face

    FAKE BAKE. So I have been told I am just using up all the fake tan I bought last year in the half price sales and then my next purchase is going to be fake bake. Some of the girls ay my work use it and they look fab. A full size bottle on ebay is about 15 pounds.
    Has anyone else tried it?

    Oww just tried boots.com and its sold out, ill keep trying though!

    Ive just fake tanned myself using 1 part Body Shop fake tan, 1 part palmers body lotion (mmmm choclity!) and 1 part moisturiser!

    I figured that i can do that everyday and it cant possible go streaky or to dark, it will be a gradual build up!

    Also im booked in to have a California spray tan next friday coz im using the 25% discount from New Woman Mag! so should work out at £15 instead of £20??

    Woo Hoo ! I feel so pasty at the moment, cant wait to look fab!

    HTH someone,
