Pale fake tan

Tree

Is it possible to get a very pale fake tan? Something that would take my legs from milk bottle white to the undercooked toast colour of my arms

Hey Tree, Johnson's Holiday Skin for Light Skin seems to work for people with fair skin. Way to light for me as I'm quite sallow, but have a friend who is very pale and it seems to work for her. I think the secret is to apply it gradually over a number of days until you find yourself with a colour that suits you.

Definitely try the Johnson's Holiday stuff, I'm bottle white and am usually anti-tan but felt I needed to look a lil sun-kissed since I never tan anyway. It's really good and looks natural plus it's not OTT. My arms and hands look really cool

Milkbottle legs = Win.

Can i ask ya.. Is the Johnsons Holiday skin a cream or mousse etc?

Also, has anyone heard of the *new* Tinted moisturiser from dove? Its ment to be Fab as it starts of with a subtle kinda glow that gradually builds its way to a healthy looking tan..

If anyone has used either of these products would ya please let us know what ya though of em?

Used the garnier one.....its great,lovely smell and just gives you a bit of a tan v.slowly...great for us very pale girls. Id never use dove.My sister is a dermatologist and its the one product that consistently causes a lot of problems...dont go near the stuff.

I like Boots Soltan mousse in Light if I'm looking for a light colour.

When you're putting on the Johnsons holiday skin moisturiser, treat it as if you're putting on proper fake tan and put a little bit of vaseline in places where it's likely to 'cling' and leave brown smudges! Knees, toes, elbows and most importantly between your fingers if you're not wearing gloves! It's great stuff, but the first time I used it I slapped it on like it was moisturiser and had lovely umpa lumpa hands the following morning:D

I'm really pale and i used the johnsons fake tan for fair skin and tbh it turned out disasterously!! Against my pale skin lets just say it didnt turn out as well as expected.I've only braved it twice and am now resigned to being pale. If your going to use it just be very careful because i found it streaked quite easily.Maybe give yourself a practice go before you depend on it for a night out! Good Luck!:)

I actually managed to get off my bum and go and buy some JHSkin and TBH im not too sure what i think..
Its brought the colour out lovely on my behind chest and midriff, but it has a wild tendancy to streak like bacon around my calves/knees/ankles..
and yes... I learned to wash my hands when finished using it after i went to work with white fingers and brown knuckles!!
i also used one of thoose little 99c wipes u get from the chemist cant remeber the brand but it was in a brown sachet and it was fab on my stomach... No steaks or marks! the only telltale sign was the fact my legs were a different colour to my top half as i only sampled one wipe! Can anyone reccomed any other type of wipes/methods of tanning easy?

I used the Johnson's Holiday Skin before and for some reason it doesn't work well on legs, it went on streaky no matter how carefully I applied it.Lancaster tan is really good if you have pale skin. I haven't used false tan in over a year.
Go me! Pale skin FTW!! (or whatever it is they say..:) )

try Johnsons Holiday skin/Nivea skin/dove skin.
but remember the rules of fake tan or else you will get orange peel:

1. exfoliate
2. shave the night or day before
3. moisturise the day before to sooth and calm the skin.

I find Johnsons Holiday Tan works best if I slap it heavy on like a moisture and once you use it every day it gives a great natural looking colour.

Does is smell as bad as Johnsons?, I cant stand that smell.

lasair

i use johnsons and never get a smell from it...

Enii

Johnsons smells fine in comparison with other fake tans.

Faith

I use Johnsons and I find it very good, except I always get white patches around the crook of my elbow. I don't get a smell from it either.

I agree with Pythia - I've been using this stuff for the past 3 or 4 years and have never had any problems with it - if you make sure you keep rubbing it in until its all been absorbed you won't have any problem with streaking - and its nice and pale - you don't look like you've been tangoed!

Only problem is the the Light one seems to get sold out first - I frequently can't get it....
