Ah sorry, I didn't realize.

I can't help with recommendations as I rarely wear fake tan and when I do wear, it, it is usually somewhat natural looking.

ya i am pretty much the same and i am looking for natural but a darker natural than what i normally am.

ya thats actually one ive been reading about . theres a really dark one i think its called xen tan absolute luxe. now i havent tried it but if anybody has any info it would be great. think its bour 45 euro pretty steep for fake tan but if it did what it said on the tin then id have no qualms in getting it.

I didn't find Xen Tan particularly dark, personally. He Shi have a good one-dark foaming mousse. Also I spied St. Moritz in the dark version in penneys last week-cheap as chips!

I started using Lancome Flash Bronzer Moouse there years and years ago - I find it great - very easy to put on, comes up lovely & lasts for ages. Did my tan there on Saturday morning & am still nice and bronzed. Lovely natural colour too.

And also - Arnotts have a special on at the moment, picked up a 2 pack for €39!! BARG!

ok thanks for those suggestions i also have used the lancome in the past but i find theres is an awful "fake tan" smell off of it, jadie are there different types of he shi tan so. how dark are we talking for the dark mousse. have u tried the st tropez mousse is it darker than this do u know.

jadie

I haven't tried the St. Tropez mousse so don't know. I think the key is to look for self tanners that contain a high percentage of DHA- I think it can go up to 12%. Hardly any say on the packaging though how much they contain. You could email he-shi to enquire maybe.

just did a quick google- this is saying its the darkest on the market
