Gradual tan throughout the week to keep fake tan looking good?

I always fake tan on the weekends when I go out but I'm just wondering if anyone has had any good results with maybe putting gradual tan on everyday/ every second day maybe to keep the tan looking fresh? I don't want it to be extremely orange or anything I just don't want to have that mid week shitty tan.

I use graduating self tanning lotion every once in awhile, I would just use it as a regular lotion and was my hands afterwards. I wouldn't use it everyday, I'd just apply it two or three times and I'd already be tan which to last a week. I got it from Sallys Beauty Supply, don't remember the name, I'll have to get up and check in a little lol. I can't get up right now because my son is napping on my chest.

I love cocoa brown, I use the lighter colour when I'm going out, or during the summer I use it every second day. The good thing about it is that it's BROWN not orange lol. Also it's really easy to apply as it has a bit of colour so you can see it going on, but then develops to a deeper tan.

Btw, if you like a deeper tan it also comes in a really dark shade. Some of my friends that are die hard spray tanners use this deeper colour on the daily lol.

Awesome thanks ladies, I use model co and it's amazing, goes on a beautiful brown colour and wears off really naturally, I love it.

I'm Irish so I don't know how you get your hands on it in the US? But it's pretty popular in UK also. I just buy mine on the high street! Sorry I couldn't be of more use. :)

I hate spray tans for this reason haha, personally I've found a pretty decent gradual tanner from garnier, I'm pretty sure it's called 12 hour glow or something but I'd use it after showering and go to bed with it on and wake up in the morning with an awesome tan lol. I recommend it :)

Yeh I don't use spray tans either, because they wear off so gross. Plus with it being summer I'm always wearing thongs so I don't want my feet to be looking all patchy.
