Fake tan any tips?

I use Johnsons Holiday Skin Body Lotion. A lovely natural looking tan that you can use every few days or so to get the required degree of tan. Us it before bed and wake up to tanned legs!

lucid rain forecast for Sunday, so its either milk bottles, or streaky fake tan or streaky gravy browning.... decisions.. decisions!

My Mum and her sister used to use gravy browning, during the war, to 'tan' their legs and then use an eyeliner pencil to make the seam! She said it worked very well as long as it didn't rain

8susiecb* would it have to be the low fat version.

you could try Bisto!

What happened to using brown boot polish - or am I showing my age.

Thanks effblinder have seen that advertised, but I think you need a personal recommendation.

I have used st tropez in the past and have found it quite good. although i also bought one called make believe that smells all tropical and banana-ey in a good way. These are both absurdly expensive so I wouldn't recommend them if you're watching the pennies!

The best tip I have is to WASH YOUR HANDS afterwards INCLUDING in between your fingers and all the way onto your wrists!

And you have to use a bar of soap, not a bottle with a pump - it just doesn't do the job for some reason.

Oh nice pressies susie, wear my bling and hope they dont look down

I have just taken my own advice and feel nice now even though I have corned beef legs. Clinique Sparkle skin takes off all the dead skin that make it look dull and then Clinique Body butter for a nice lush look (I have nice daughters who buy it for pressies for me). Wear your best bling and a big smile- it will be fine

Dress is quite long so not much of my legs on show, think I am afraid to try anything and make a mess

How about a long, loose floaty skirt?

Don't do it! How about a good exfoliation and some lovely body cream - you can get ones with shimmer- a nice blusher and you will look glowing and healthy. have a good day

I think it's supposed to be cooler by Sunday

Thats what I am worried about.

Have you tried hold-ups...cooler than tights.
I've got milkbottle legs too, tried self tan and ended up with streaky legs!
