Alternative to fake tan

foreverbright

Hi, everyone
My sister is getting married in d few weeks and I don't do tan it just doesn't work for my skin and I don't like the smell, does anyone know of an atlernative product that will give my skin and nice healthy look without having to resort to tan?:)

Sally Hansen. Its more like a spray foundation for your body (so gives you a glow and evens the skintone) with the orange/streaks/smell of fake tan.
Its now available in a liquid also, I never tried that though

No.7 fake tan (the lotion) is brilliant though, its tinted so you can see where you put it and it doesn't smell bad. Its light though and a little goes a little way

If you want to avoid tanning products altogether I'd say start using a good exfoliating body scrub (or dry brushing before shower) now, good body lotion everyday, by the time of the wedding your skin should be in great shape and you might just go for a body lotion with a little shimmer,
although if you do decide you want a tanned look the palest shade of Sally Hansen is very good (as mentioned above), and very transfer proof too.

I know you said you don't do tan - I don't either, those self-tanning lotions make me gag with the smell of them! But there is another thread on here about Cocoa Brown http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056828563, which is a self-tanning mousse, and on first use this evening it seems to justify all the raving about it.

It's cheap as chips for starters, €7 a can, and I swear, hand on heart, it doesn't smell. I left it on for 1.5 hours then showered again, and it seems to be coming up nice and evenly. Now I could turn out in the morning with my usual piebald pony look, but it doesn't seem to be happening that way so far.

If you wanted to to give it a go, it's cheap enough to buy a can and a mitt and if you don't get on with it, well it's not the end of the world.

ETA - I used Sally Hansen before, and I agree it's very good, but I just think a self-tan would be less likely to rub off onto clothes.

What about those tinted moisturisers?

Do you mean the self-tanning ones? They're the worst stinkers! (In my experience anyway, I'm open to correction)

St Tropez everyday is okay but I'd still try Cocoa Brown first.

I'd be weary of Sally Hansen of your wearing a pale dress.
