St Tropez whipped bronze remains my favourite. Ive been lured by new products but for me nothing compares -though it is a bit messy. For a quick blast of colour my new fav is Lancome flash bronzer. Ive had this for ages but only used it last week and was v impressed-particularily if you are about to head out and realise you are looking bit peaky as the results are instant. Never had a spray tan done because its cheaper to do myself and so easy-why pay more!!
I use the original St Tropez lotion and it is great. It doesn't streak and smells nice. Best to put it on at night and shower it off in the morning (just use old sheets on your bed!)
i use the fake bake, the bottle stuff which looks like chocolate sauce - it is almost impossible to streak! It is very difficult to get the spray one even (I tried the lancome one and it was a nightmare!)
Stick to the bottle unless you are getting it done in a salon
