Ok ladies, and gentleman, summer is amidst here and I'm tired of being pale! I wand know you're favorite self tanner whether its cheap or expensive. I don't do tanning beds as my mom recently under went surgery for skin cancer and I don't like sitting in the sun. So help me out! Also I'm not an expert at thus, so idiot proof products are preferred. Thanks!

St tropez mousterizing self tan is really good. Its the type that builds up over a few days and looks really natural. Rimmel do a nice instant tan thats not at all orange and looks really nice if you don't use to much.

My absolute favourite is Lise Watiers bora bora teint. It is a bit on the pricier end in comparison to jergens it's about 30$ but worth every penny! You can an amazing natural brown colour , it's not streaky nor does it have a terrible odor. It also has a really nice light shimmer upon application. It's helped me keep a nice glow all winter and it is very easy to control your level of colour as its doesn't give you a ton of colour each application but does of course give you nice natural colour.

I've used many and the best I've tried is GlowFusion. It's a spray but some ppl, including me, prefer to spray it into your hand and mix it with body lotion and then rub it in well. I have more control that way and you aren't spraying brown goo all over your bathroom. :-) This one works well and doesn't smell nearly as bad as most. It is expensive though. I got it at Seohora about 3 years ago and still have some left. :-)

P.S. If you can tolerate latex, use gloves to apply so you don't end up with tanned palms.

Thanks Toribeth. Was lying low for a bit--not sure how many enemies I made the other day. ;-)
Kae, I don't know where else you'd get them but if you Google them I'm sure you'd find other retailers or an online source.

I like Banana Boat in Deep, but I have olive skin naturally. Make sure you exfoliate thoroughly beforehand and apply a dilution of self tanner to thicker skinned areas, such as elbows and knees.
