Best self tanner?

Quse · ‎09-05-2014

What do you think is the best self tanner for legs? One that doesn't make you look orange and doesn't come off on clothes, etc...?

Oh...and also covers veins and things...

I love vita liberata mousse in dark and I'm light/medium but the light and medium don't impart enough color. The dark gives me a light tan. Put on and in 20 seconds I'm dry and ready to go out the door. I have zero patience for waiting so this is great.

i can also say I had given up on self tanners because I looked like an oompah loompah but not with VL.

I use this only on my legs to cover veins.

I have 2 that I use. The first is Tan Ceuticals and it's a lotion form, and the other one is the Tarte Little Mist Sunshine. I got them both last spring. The Tarte is a spray that has a mitt. It's a clear spray. The Tan Ceuticals, I apply with rubber gloves. Neither of them make me orange.

Bare Escentuals Faux Tan - has never made me look orange... always a perfect tan.

ETERNITY: your choice... smoking or non smoking!

I use Tan Towels. Easy to apply and it never turns orange.

Paula's choice from her website.

I used to use Bare Minerals Faux Tan, but I switched about two years ago since I swear the formula changed. I've switched to St. Tropez mousse in Classic. I've seen it presented many times on the Q but was always hesitant to order thinking it wouldn't work for me since I'm on the fair side. However, when I used my Sephora points for a sample with one of my orders, I was able to try it out and have been hooked ever since. It's so easy to apply since it's a mousse version and you can add a little for a light tan or add alot to build up to a darker shade. No orange or streaks. Just a nice tan color. Sometimes I add some of Josie Maran's whipped argan body butter on top and it gives off a nice glowy tan. I don't use a tanning mitt either to apply. I actually use latex gloves that are real thin and I apply it like that. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry I squeeze some mousse into my hands and apply but then I have to use a baby wipe really quickly and clean off the palms of my hands...it's my holy grail self tanner now.

I also vote for Tan Towels. So easy to use and they don't make you stink, either. I get them from HSN.

I love my family, my fur boys, my Jayhawks and accounting!

I also like the Vita Liberati mousse in dark. The color lasts and is a good color. It is not orange. However, That initial stain does transfer onto clothing and sheets with me, and I wish that they did not include the "guide" color at all. It is better than some, but I can't sweat, and to sleep I need to wear a black top and yoga pants and it still transfers onto my pillow. The tan towels do not transfer at all because there is no guide color, but they are really expensive per use compared to the vita liberati. The tan doesn't last quite as long either.

These are the only tow I use because they don't dry out my skin or cause breakouts. I've tried them all If I can find one with no "guide" tint that is a mouse and works like Vita Liberati I'll never try another!
