Tried Xen Tan??
If you haven't.. you must! I've used st tropez and fake bake for years both in the salon and at home. They were certainly the best I'd used (clarins, decleour etc) The only drawback was complaints that it the dried the skin and the stench of stale biscuits! Oh and guide colour.. A roll around in mud anyone??..
I've discovered Xen Tan!! I think it's wrong to be this excited about fake tan but it has taken all the things I hate about fake tanning and fixed them! (orange, uneven tan, patchy elbows, knees and ankles, the smell). The smell is light fruity/almondy and doesn't get stronger over time. I've used the guide colour as an instant tan before a night out, you can see where your putting it and still look sunkissed. It won't wreck your sheets, you won't look like a swamp creature and your boyfriend will sleep next to you again!!
Only drawback is its a bit more expensive but you can find it on on sale just now? From £29.95 to £19.99 Sorted!!
