    i use very often St. Moritz from quality save for 3pounds cheap and easy to use make sure you get the moose one as the spray one is rubbish this fake tan is well know and been nominated as one of the best! if you go quality save to pick it up they also do a three in one mit for 99p this comes with a pair of gloves, the mit which can exfoliate, spread tan evenly and has a moisturising bit you can use TRY IT ITS GREAT!! and i know it works as i had the same problem every time i put fake tan on i went patchy and if you anything like me DO NOT get a spray tan its nice for like two days then i just went patchy everywhere and you could see all me white bit oh the shame ah ah hope this helped anyway :)

    Begin by means of exfoliating in the shower. When you come out, apply lotion on areas like knees and elbows. Follow a bit bit of petroleum jelly on eyebrows so that they dont turn orange. Are trying jergens natural glow. Even if you might be fair, dont use the one for fair epidermis, it will best make you a smidge darker. Use the one for medium skin. I've medium skin and i take advantage of medium tan to make me appear more sunkissed. Rub it evenly in every single place your physique. It wont leave you orange and it smells better than most tanners. Get the one for your face and observe it in every single place blending into jawline and hairline keeping off eyebrows and lips. You'll see a progress of colour within two days and you're going to reach your full color in a week. If you are still no longer dark adequate, then are trying the following coloration, but dont go overboard. Maintain moisturising with jergens common glow everyday to additional preserve your tan. If any areas are darker than the relaxation ( elbows, knnees, etc..) dip a cotton ball in alchohol and rub on the areas. Oh and another thing... After you practice jergens, your gonna have got to stand in the rest room to your lingerie for 10 minutes to wait until it dries. Thats now not that long. I could handiest be 13 however i do know stuff! Lol. ~ kendall xoxoxoxooxox

    You need to expoliate your body esp the knees and elbows the reason you get dark patches is because there dry, then what i personally do is use St Tropez because it doesnt come out orange and then apply it with a mit and i get a baby wipe and wipe round my ankles, knees and elbows also do my hands and feet so it all looks natural make sure the baby wipe isnt too wet so scrunch it before to get excess water out and then wipe.

    For the face, use Chanel Soleil de Chanel Bronzing Base.

    For the body, use St. Moritz Tanning Spray and Lotion.

    St tropez, make sure you shave then exfoliate your legs then moisturise them then put the false tan on! trust me it looks great also don't keep covering it use one layer then if you don't like the colour or want it darker then do another layer, just it take's a while for the sugars to react with your melanocytes,

    Xen Tanning lotion is supposed to be good too incase you can't get St tropez

    Try going outside and fake sunbathe. How bout you get off your lazy duff and open a window or two, get some sun or sumn. And if you live in an area without sun well no one will blame you for being a pasty, pale faced ghost.
