With summer drawing closer, I know that many girls are starting to fake tan. I'll be joining them this year ;) lol

So does anyone have any tips and tricks to use for a good result? And which products are best??

Post away! :)

If you're new to tanning, start with holiday skin or summer glow because you're less likely to end up orange, and have blotchy polka dot skin

Yah summer glow ftw!! I have very pale skin and it doesn't turn me orange, and I can choose how dark to go so I don't have crazy brown legs.

Plus it smells nice and is smooth and even.

Holiday Skin smells really foul. Just sit in the sun and bake. Screw skin cancer, you only live once.

moisturise your knees and ankles with a normal moisturiser first

EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!!!
that is seriously the number one rule because if you dont the fake tan will attach itself to your dry skin (ie knees and elbows etc) and make it look patchy - definitely not a good look
the LeTan shimmer is good....and didnt smell too bad either.....
J&J STINKS but its GREAT for a natural tan
all fake tans will smell no matter how much they say it wont

Yeah, they all smell after a while. That's why I'd rather use a darker tan once rather than a lighter tan every night, because the smell makes me sick.

Summer glow works for me because I don't want to look really tanned. I have lily white legs, and fair skin everywhere else, so summer glow just makes my legs the same colour as my arms/face. Pure fake tan makes me go orange, and I have no skills applying it.
I only use summer glow for about two days at a time, and that's enough for me. I imagine that if I applied it every day for a week I would go quite dark (or as dark as you can go using the fair/medium version).

The medium/dark version obviously would make you darker. It's definitely safer than using pure fake tan, I've found it to be very even and nice.

And summer glow really does smell good.
