Self tanner that doesn't turn orange?

About a  month ago I saw Chaz advertise his self tanner, it was more than I wanted to spend but it came with 2 bottles and brush so I thought if it worked and I would use it then it was a good deal. I know how to prep for self tan, I did "all the things". I have tried 4 times and each time I swear it gets worse, and it's for sure orange and I have medium skin tone.  Just awful.

 

With that being said.  Do you have one you love? Once that is easy to apply, doesn't turn orange and doesn't wear off blotchy?  I swear I am about done with self tanners but since I avoid the sun, its nice to have a little color on my arms and lower legs, I do NOT use it full body, just on exposed areas.

 

TIA for your suggestions!

Try Famous Dave's.  I have also used Moisture Tan with good results.

They seem to react differently on every body.  You might start with a few cheaper ones and see what they do.

@SandGirl I have tried cheap to expensive, and they ALL give me an orange look.  I have light skin--not fair but certainly light--since I stay out of the sun.  I finally gave it up and embraced my white skin, because I thought the orange color (and blotchiness as it was wearing off) looked worse than being white.  Especially after I saw myself in a wedding photo at my niece's wedding!  Egads!

Tan-Luxe drops, you mix it with your favorite moisturizer and apply to your body, no odor or orange tint, been using it for a couple of years, works for me.

I have been trying to find the name of the self tanner that was presented by Shawn a couple months ago that was sold out. It seemed easy to use and did not appear to be orange. Any remember the name?  The presenter was a British chap.

I use Jergens. It comes in a few shades. I use the light. 

 

I used Jergens for several days before my son's wedding so I didn't have to wear hose or scare anyone with my glow-in-the-dark pale legs.

I have light skin also.  Plus, I am 73 and need all the help I can get to have decend legs!  I use Jergens.  It is never orange, goes on well----not a lot of color, actually very natural, but I want just enough I won't blind people when they look at my legs. I have used high end and between of lots of brands.  Isle of Paradise used to be a favorite also---Jergens is MUCH cheaper. My friend uses a Hempz brand--but I have been unable to find it this year to try.

I'm the same, light skin.  I'm going to try Jergens.  Is it the one that has "Natural Glow" on the tube?

 

TIA
