What's a good fake tan (over the counter and cheap would be a plus) for very, VERY pale skin?

ive went through many many tanners, and the best ive gotten..is the neutrogena sunless tanning INSTANT BRONZING foam....make sure u get the instant bronze..and make sure its the foam...not lotion...so u can see where it goes... its fool proof...the best time is to put it on before u go to bed, then when u wake up...u can take a shower..it says that u can leave on for like an hour or two...then get in water..but dont it will come right off..and it might look silly bc its so dark..but once u take a shower it will look fine..and when ur taking a shower, and the water starts to run dark brown...dont worry! its supposed to ..its just the color guide washing off, ur tan will still be there... i always get the deep color, but im sure they all work good... and u might want to get some rubber gloves to apply...or just make sure u wash ur hands really really good

Just to add to Alias's question...What do you do about your face? Do you put tanning lotion on it? Wouldn't it look silly if you had a tanned body and a less-tanned face? Just curious...

u can use the sunless tanner on ur face..it works just as well but they also have the sunless tanners just for the face..but i dont think they work as well...just use the same stuff as u put on ur body let me know if u decide to try it

Hi

I use neutrogena sunless tanning lotion. I have very pale skin and I use the "medium" in that one. You should use gloves to put it on because I've applied without gloves before and even if you wash, it sometimes still tans your palms. You can also apply the lotion to your face. The only thing about the lotion is that you have to apply it evenly or you will get streaks.
