Hi there,

I was wondering what the best brand of fake tan was for getting a really light, natural looking tan on really ivory-white skin?

I cannot emphasis how pale I am, I'm like one shade pinker than albino and there is basically no natural bronze or brown tones to my skin. I normally like being pale, it suits me, but in the summer it can look a little sickly. Plus, pale isn't flattering on the beach in a bathing suit!

So, I need to know what product won't turn me orange or make me look like I've bathed in coffee. I'm happy with either a home application product or one which you have to go to a salon to get sprayed with. I want to just look a little warmer, like a tan is beginning, not like I've been baking for weeks. I am not interested in the gradual build-up moisturizers as I would like a quick result.

Thank you!

'Make believe' is awesome. Its more golden, not super orange or dark like other ones. I found mine on eBay. Here is one that is up :

You can try jergens natural glow. I used it and it works well. I'm not sure if it is sold in scotland though.

I don't know if you will be able to get it but there is a tan available in ireland called 'sally hanson' its like make up for your body. Totally flawless when you put it on.

I know that a redhead, in most cases cannot tan using the sun because you're skin does not produce Melanin, the bronze shade in eyes, hair and skin. Use Touch Of Sun by Olay, it makes a brown color. But most other gradual tanners make an orange shade.. not pretty. I have really pale skin, like you. But I've tanned it away with the sun
