Hi all.

I was forbidden from posting from my old account because I never confirmed my email and had forgotten the password to do so. But I'm back now!

Anyway, I am very pale and have been considering self-tanners but I have no experience with them. I do not want to end up orange and I figured that you ladies would be the best help available!

Which brands would you recommend? How should I prepare my skin for application? Also, should I use a mitt and cream or a spray can?

Thank you in advance for your input!

Hiya I am also very pale but a fake tan addict! I have tried them all and so far my favourite is xen tan dark lotion I apply it with gloves but you could use a mitt , exfoliate before you tan with any exfoliate really but not an oily one as this makes a barrier on the skin I put a little cream on my elbows just before I tan as it sticks there. If your going for a spray one fake bake or loreal are quite good but as I found probably better to apply in the shower ( I turned my wall orange! )
