    My favourite fake tan is johnsons mousturiser “”holiday skin””. Sometimes it goes streaky, but if you shave your legs AFTER, this will get rid of that hideous streaky orange affect, believe it all not. This will work for most fake tans…

    that`s surprising i love that garnier spray. maybe the PH or tone of your skin isnt compatible with it like mine is

    Beautymax how many times did you apply the gradual tanner? I always find it takes a few days of application in a row to get the colour I want.

    yeah absolutely use gradual, it looks more natural and like figmentos said is way more gentle. DONT USE WINDEX! it is not a product to be used on the skin, very silly! sorry to shoot down your idea sandj but it could have disasterous affects putting a window cleaner on your skin.

    thanks fimentos i have tried instant tanner before the gradual one and it doesnt work either my skin is very very pale like english rose that i am lol im going to go get it done pro i will ask with the 5% dha thanks!

    If you have pale skin (like me) stay right away from `instant/overnight` tanners, the amount of DHA is far too high for our skin and it will make you orange & streaky! Stick to a gradual tanner (like all those new ones around- also known as `tan-extenders` which you can buy from salons that offer spray tanning) or get a salon spray tan done with a 5% DHA solution (if they dont have one go else wear) alot of salons only carry an 8% or higher and that is far too much for casper the ghost looking people like me. You get a 5% spray done, and if you want to go darker get another 5% done within the next 2 days, dont choose a darker solution.

    I`m the same, can never get fake tan right 🙁
    I don`t know if I`d ever put windex on my legs though! I`d prefer to wear long pants and wait it out.

    Using windex is suppose to take tan off! Hope it works :S

    Thanks for the tips! I have always been too scared of self tanning for fear of turning orange! I have some `Holiday Skin` at home that I was wanting to try on my legs!
