I've never tried any of the fake tan products - are they any good?

I just stay white until I go to Florida

No I don't use fake tans or go on sunbeds.

Hi Carol,

I always use the Garnier one, it does fair/medium as well, i havn't tried the Nivea one yet, maybe that's in incentive to give it a go, has anyone tried both? As a comparison.

Aud - haven't got sensitive skin so couldn't tell you I'm afriad.
Sue - I just like a bit of colour for the summer but being very pale I'm afriad of looking nuclear so I don't like a fake thats too orange. Its better for you than sunbeds though and moisturises too.

I've never tried any of these but might have a go, especially if they are buy 1get one free in Tesco.

If I go all streaky and orange I'll blame you Carol !!

 

[carolfoy]

Hi Carol,

I'm very pale as well (i'm a red head) and my skin turns orange too so i hav to be careful with the products i use also. The Garnier one smells very strongly of Cammomile(sp?) I tried the Avon one once i looked like i had been Tango'd! Same with M&S tanning wipes and Superdrug tanning wipes as well, very streaky and orange!

Hope it's ok to use brand names?

I think the brand names thing is ok never really thought about it I suppose, its not like we work for them or anything. yes, the wipes are streaky making, its because they sit in a packet for months and the DHA chemical that makes you tan gathers in places so you can never get a really streak free finish.

I am the worlds worse at applying fake tan, Im not much of a sunbather but do like to have a little bit of colour, but no hard how I try, it always ends up streaky and patchy. Thanks for the info Carol

Audrey,

I'm a red head you know that the score we would love to be brown its not in
our genes

does this sound familiar

white - pink - red - peel - white - pink - red - peel

the story of my life

So for you lucky people who can tan i'm so jealous

You need to moisturise the dry areas first Then try to evenly apply your chosen fake tan brand ( personal perference Dove summer skin normal/dark) WASH your hands immediately if you have not used gloves, then allow to soak in for at least 20 mins. Re-apply daily making sure you keep moisturising those dry areas first. Results should be after (about 5 days) lovely even colour
I'm a girl who rarely tans naturally too, more often than not I go red and blister and peel not a good look.
