Smelly Fake Tan
2 Answers
Can anyone recommend a fake tan that doesn't smell rank? Most smell nice when first applied, but then change over a couple of hours.

The less DHP a product contains, the less smelly it will be, but that also means a lighter colour. You can get perfumed ones, but I always find that after the first wash you are left with the classic fake tan smell!
