Being pale is HARD. Pastel colours aren’t our friends, we can’t step outside if the sun is out without wearing five layers of SPF 50, and worst, a suitable fake tan is impossible to find. A golden glow is a massive confidence boost, and we English roses should not be missing out. Here’s a list of the best self tanner for fair skin that you can trust.
This is a saviour for whiter than white girls, providing a sun-kissed look for every shade of skin. The (non-biscuit) scented cream goes a long way, and the caramel tint helps to guide application- for newbies, this is perfect!
Clarins really know how to do tanner, and this time they’ve made a product for pale and sensitive skin types. Meant for the face, this product is best when added to moisturiser. But think about using an oil-free moisturiser if you struggle with oily skin- using both together might put you at risk of a breakout.
Don’t be put off by the “Dark” in the name: this tan creates amazing golden undertones that make sure a darker shade will look great on fair skin types. Plus, the product dries in seconds and you can shower after an hour- become the ultimate beach babe in a matter of minutes.
This spray is ideal for the less patient among us, drying instantly and without the need to rub it in. As with any tan, exfoliating first will get you the best results, but Garnier’s mist really cuts down on time. The resulting colour is ridiculously natural, and the apricot scent masks any potential biscuity aromas.
Slightly more on the pricier side, but well worth the spend, Madame La La Self Tan Mousse is easy to apply and develops into a gorgeous natural bronze perfect for paler skin. The tan not only makes you glow but actually helps out your skin too, perfecting it and making it softer. Even when it eventually fades after about 10 days the colour still manages to avoid looking patchy (the worst of all fake tan sins).
Again, this product one of the more expensive of it’s kind, but is so worth considering. This face serum manages to give even the lightest of skin tones a natural bronze flush. Apply it morning and night during your skin care routine and use as little or as much as you want, depending on your preferred level of glow. This is definitely the best self tanner for fair skin!
