Best gradual sunless tanner?
I was wondering if you ladies had any recommendations? I'm practically see through at this point. I feel like I must be picky. I really hate the fake tanner smell and I feel like everything I've tried makes me orange. Plus, it needs to be pretty fool proof because I suck at getting streaks.

Re: Best gradual sunless tanner?
I like clarins tanning milk for my face. It's not gradual, but it looks bronze and I just use a little. I use Neutrogena spray for the rest of my body. I'm sure to exfoliate well before I apply.
I used to use the gradual, but they are all smelly and I hate walking around smelly every day. Both of these products go on easily and are pretty foolproof. I'd go light on them at first until you decide on how much you need.
Not sure if you have Meijer in your area, but I highly recommend their store brand gradual tanning lotion (their version of the Jergans, but WAY better IMO).
I have tried many brands and have yet to find one that compares to the Meijer brand as far as smell, ease of use, results and best of all it's CHEAP... Like $5 a bottle.
