Skinny Tan now do a coconut mist tan. I haven't used it, just read abut it. The reviews were good.

Mattsmum ages ago I bought the Clarins facial tan. It was a gel. It was excellent. I used the same bottle for years (it was before all this business about chucking stuff out after its been open for a week)

I’ve ordered the clarins drops!

Sorry - not drops - but hyaluronic tanning serum, by Tan-luxe, £30.
Saving of £50 (I think!)

Hello all
QVC have a special offer today (Tuesday) for Tanning Drops.
A bottle for body, and one for face.
You can try them for two months, and if you don't get on with them you can send them back!
I can't remember the make, but they are supposed to be very good.

I think I'm using a Garnier lotion than gradually develops a tan. Just stops my legs looking too corpse like. Smell of apricot oil which I like.

You can use any moisturiser Mattsmum

Skinny Tan. Without a doubt. Tried lots and that’s the best I’ve found. Not smelly. No streaks. Nice colour. They even do a sun screen which I aim to use whenever I get to a beach again! Ps have tried the Clarins drops and they seemed to work initially but then didn’t. I went to the shop and the Clarins lady said it was a known issue ?‍♀️

Clarins do drops that you can add to your normal body cream. You don't need much lasts ages.
They do Face drops as well
JL have it in stock

Do you need to use clarins body cream?

Thanks for your advice will check out your suggestions. ?

I like LOreal Sublime Bronze tinted lotion. It does have a bit of a smell, but the fact that it is tinted allows you to see how evenly you are applying it.

The St Tropez bronzing water spray smells quite nice works well especially with a mitt for application
Good even colour that you can build up I found two days application gave a warm tan

I have used the Clarins drops on my milk bottle legs and it was very natural with no smell .

I have never used self tan, but I remember a Dragons Den programme when Kelly Hoppen invested in Skinny Tan which I think didn't have 'the smell'. It was mentioned recently as one of the most profitable investments on the Den.
I hope you find something that works well for you.

I want to make my pale legs look better. Any recommendations for self-tanning that doesn’t smell awful or go streaky ? ?
