Self-tanning
«

Can anyone recommend a self-tanning product (not sure if you are allowed to name products on here but worth a try). I have very pastey white legs (don't get much exposure to the day light !) and some unsightly spider veins around the bottom of one leg. This years holiday my legs will get to see sunlight WAYHAY)
I've used self-tanning products in the past (the ones that wash off) - just to give a touch of colour and they do help to disguise the veins. Have also been to a salon and had a spray tan but that was expensive and not a pleasant experience. Can anyone suggest a tanning cream (not a spray) that will I can use at home and will last for 2 weeks

Don't know that I would recommend any annieb. I tried a couple, a few years back, when I was getting night sweats. The damn stuff just ended up all over the bedding.

I bought a Dove moisturiser last year that had a hint of self tan in it. I found it lasted well, didn't smell of that horrid self tan smell either.....

No it fades off. Of course if you rub at your legs in the showers in will, just gently wash and I found it lasted about a week.... I don't see it at Boots .....but other sites have it....it's called Summer Glow.

I use the Dove tinted stuff too and its great. I also like Palmers coco butter which is very similar and comes in light- medium and medium- dark and smells lovely.

CKLD - this is the problem - my legs very rarely get exposed to sunlight and the spider veins are quite noticeable when my legs are their natural colour. Dove sounds good so will be getting that this week. Normally I won't get too excited about it and I know this sounds a little silly but we are meeting with our daughter's employers and really want to make a good impression. Not that they will be looking at my legs
but it's a question of feeling confident more than anything else. Don't want to be "embarrassing" mother .
