    Hii,

    I have used the search function but a lot of the tan threads seem quite old and not exactly what I'm looking for(unless I missed one! :o )

    Does anyone have any recommendations for tan that doesn't irritate the skin? I don't particularly have sensitive skin and have never had an actual break out from using a tan, just looking for something that would be less likely to irritate the skin?

    Thanks!

    I have sensitive skin and i find that gradual tans never irritate it, it always seems to be instant tans that cause me some itching.

    The best one I have found so far is Garnier Summerbody. I like to stay tanned all the time so I use the light shade every second day, and then the deep shade on Thurs/Fri so Im a little darker for the weekend.

    Boots always have it on offer as well; i got another one of the big bottles last weekend and it was just over 3e if i remember correctly. For the price its worth a try. If your skin is very sensitive, maybe try a patch test on the inside of your arm first? :)

    thank you for the suggestion! I had a look at this one online and for that price I think I will give it a go. :)

    Marissa Carter who created Cocoa brown tan has dermatitis so it was really important to her that the tan not irritate; might be worth trying! I have dry skin on my legs and I find that CB actually nourishes my legs.
