St Tropez self tan.

There's some good tips here yes I agree Petra it's a dead giveaway the marks around the fingers! Thanks will use the surgical gloves under Good tip!

When you get into the sun try Piz Buin tan and protect. I think it must have a self tanning element to it as I have an uncharacteristicly fab tan after using this during a holiday in Florida. I have been using it during this lovely hot spell of weather too and sure enough I am a pleasing shade of tanned rather than the usual lobster.

I use Loreal sublime bronze for the face in light tan . It is a spray so is so easy to use . Doesn`t give me spots .

Harris27 I use the mitt to put the mouse on, but I put surgical gloves on under the mitt because I find it comes through the mitt and you can end up with that lovely look where it is round your finger nails. Not the look I want.

I've been using San moritz but it can be messy so hubby does it for me! But looking at your. Comments will definitely try this one is the mitt application one the best or the mousse?

I would definitely recommend that you take a look at tropicskincare.com - cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan skincare. Their Summer Skin gradual tanning lotion and their Instant Glow - fast tanning is amazing. Also they do a gradual tanning facial serum - Sun Drops.... A brilliant skincare and make- up range..... X

Wonder you weren't blown into the sea Petra from the bracing wind.

Cherrytree59. No, I didn't use it on my face, I didn't need it there. I spend a lot of time in the garden and walk a lot along Southend sea front. Although that could be windburn and not sunburn lol.

I use the Garnier after sun tan maintainer stuff. The colour is lovely for my rather pale complexion and I've never had streaks but there is a bit of a biscuity whiff the first day after application. Still worth it in my opinion! Have a lovely holiday petra!

just make sure you use a tanning mitt!

san Tropez is my 'tried and tested' option too - whenever i want to look a slightly less whiter shade of pale, as procol harum would say

i also like james read sleep tan mask (or something) for the face. Lovely golden colour

Thanks petra, you've just reminded me... I must pick up a bottle of thisbefore the sun really comes out - fabulous stuff.

I tried the Dove Summer Revived one but it came off on the lovely white hotel towels - oops . I used Oil of Olay Everyday Sunshine for my face , Cherrytree , no spots with this one !

Thanks petra I will give it a go.
Did you use it on your face?
I have tried several self tans on my face (including ones recommended for use on face). But they always give me spots.
