Fake Tan for Wedding

StripedBoxers

Hi all,

I have a wedding in a few weeks and as the dress I'm wearing is knee length I need to get some sort of tan for my legs.

I'm pale, but not very pale, if that makes sense.

I'm looking for something that's not too dark or "tanned" looking, more something that gives my legs some colour without be OTT or orange.

I'm considering getting the Vichy Dermablend Total Body Foundation however it is pretty expensive so I'm wondering if it's worth the money or if there are cheaper alternatives that are just as good.

I do have dry skin on my legs (although I do exfoliate) and I don't want something that is going to dry my skin out.

St.Tropez Self tan Express Bronze Mousse http://www.boots.com/en/St-Tropez-Self-tan-Express-Bronze-Mousse_1467763/?affwin&awc=2041_1405780935_c2f7478889b0bab8f6896a3ccf08a8ae&cm_mmc_o=-uubkbzfwlCjCKww5kbELCjCvi%20i9%20niioCjCC

I don't want a spray tan, simply because 1) they're expensive and 2) if I'm spending €20+ on a tan, I'd rather buy one that I can use again.

I've tried St Moritz and Sally Hansen and I don't like either of them.

Can anyone suggest anything?

I have used Cocoa Brown for nights out and it's been brilliant. If I am going out a Saturday night, I will apply the tan on a Friday night and wash off the excess tan on the Saturday and it glows. The only problem I find it that it smells but I think it's down to a persons body oudor because I've had friends tell me they can't smell anything. Make sure to exfoliate thoroughly before applying and then when taking it off, exfoliate again. You can buy a bottle in Penny's.

I love coco brown but made a big boo boo buying the dark one recently it was horrendous way way way too dark for me! Love the normal though so just make sure to get that one I love it on my legs I swear you wouldn't know it was fake tan!

Yeah Cocoa Brown is lovely and natural- it's a teeny bit too pale on me (my skin just doesn't take tan well) so I might give the dark one a try.

Thanks everyone, how much is the cocoa brown? I might pick up a bottle of it and give it a try and see.

About 8e usually, and you can get it almost anywhere! I love the stuff
