I'm bound to be! Sometimes (particularly in the summer) I like to have a little more bronze to my white skin.
BUT WAIT! THE STRUGGLE IS NO MOREEEEEE
That's right my beautiful bronzed buddies, I have stumbled across what is possibly my favorite self tan for pale people! The search is over.
It's called 'L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Elixir' and is brand spanking new.
Usually I really struggle to find ones that fit my bill - here's my list of needs from a tanner: 1. Nice/no smell. You know, so you don't wake up in the middle of the night choking on the smell of your own skin. 2. Dries quickly. I can't be bothered to stand around for ages in the nuddy waiting for it to dry! 3. Not patchy. Bit obvious really, it's not a good look on anyone. 4. Not orange! This one is sooo hard, everything looks orange on me, I want bronze not tangerine! 5. Easy to apply. Because I'm lazy like that. Quite a long list, now I look back on it... no wonder I've been struggling!
The texture is like an elixir, meaning it's kind of watery, which means it dries and bonds to the skin in minutes. I was so impressed - there was no stickiness or residue afterwards! It made doing my entire body (including face) easy peasy and quick to do. The only thing I struggled with was my hands... you can't use bare hands to apply this, it's too watery and will bond to your hands too quickly for you to be able to wash the tan off.
The bottle says to apply a coat to your skin for 3 consecutive days for it to last 2 weeks, I got slight patching on my arms after 1 coat but after the third one my face, chest and back look amazing and so natural!
I'm excited to see how dark it can go whilst staying natural. And I don't know how it's going to wear off yet, but even if it goes a bit patchy I'm still so impressed with this tan, it's a winner for me.
What are your top tips to fake it like a pro?
