    Hi have not generally worn it. I'm typically a very pale white Irish skin tone. Dyed red hair. Can anyone suggest anything in a bottle from Boots? Ideally not expensive that would just give me a hint of colour?.
    Thanks

    Another +1 for this.

    Its always half price somewhere so shouldnt cost you more than €5, and its nice for just taking away that blue/grey tone that irish skin can get in winter.

    Its also great because its actually quite hard to make a mess with it. Certain fake tan products are very hard to work with, but the Dove gradual tanner is basically like a moisturiser and even when I've thrown it on in a rush, I've never ended up streaky or with orange hands or any of the typical tan disasters.

    I've tried Tan Organic some time ago (I haven't been wearing fake tan for years) and was pleased with the result, although when I tried Dripping Gold (I must admit I got influenced by all these beauty bloggers on insta) I realised that Tan Organic was making my skin look orangey. Now I'm using the Dripping Gold face mist (penney's) and it's not developing as dark as the mousse, but it's giving me the hint of colour, so it might work for you? It's also quick to apply which is why I was tempted to try it out - just a few spritzes before going to bed and I'm sorted (I'm not bothered doing full body atm).

    I find this stuff is good for a nice pale colour ( B.Tan Aint Nobody Got Time for Dat! Pre-Shower 9 Minute Tan Mousse) - I picked up a few bottles in clearance in Penney's for a fiver but its only about a tenner.

    I even find it a little bit pale for me as in I'd need to put some instant over on my arms etc but would rather that than be too orange.

    For a gradual tanning moisturiser try Palmer's Cocoa Butter range one, I'm using a Coconut one and it's fab, I prefer it to the Dove as it smells much nicer and is a browner tone, it looks really natural. Quite cheap as well, definitely under a tenner!

    I got this yesterday as I'd had bad times with the Dove one before! It smells divine, and fairly happy with the application and colour. Will do another layer tonight. Thanks for the rec!
