What Product Should A Fair Skinned Person Use For Darker Skin?

I’m currently using Dove everyday moisturiser/tan and it has made me slightly more tanned but I’d still like to be . I need something that’ll suit my mild eczema. Would using a bottle of any moisturiser/tan that reads “medium/dark ” be alright on , or I try out a proper fake tan?

    I have very fair skin and use Jergens Natural Glow for “medium/dark skin”. It seems to work better. Be careful with a fake tan, especially if you’re using a cream or something like that. Test it on a hidden are first. Because of your eczema, it probably won’t go on evenly in those areas. So, try it out before you use it all over.

    either use the sun or a tanning bed.
    (plus i have heard that tanning beds can help clear up eczema too)
    if you use the “medium/dark tone” one, it will cause you to look orange. (trust me, experience [: )
    but in my opinion, be happy with what you have .
    i think fair skin is really pretty.
    :D

    if you are looking for a bronzer face try bronzing powder most makeup companys make it. If you want all over bronze try using sunlight with lotion on your face (us fair skinned people are prone to skin cancer) and tan in smalll intervalls. fake bottle tans look gross and tanning booths are unhealthy.

    I wouldn’t, if I were you. It will most likely turn you orange instead of the tan that you’re after. I’d suggest getting a true fake tan – they look more “natural” than lotions.

    you’ll look fake if you do this, you may aswell get a proper fake tan.

    get a spray tan, I love the spray tan machines, it costs about £15-£20 a go.

    I am in the same boat as you I am very pale and have eczema. I tried tanning bed but I just burnt ( and i was only in there for 3 minutes, and b/c i am pale it just peeled off in the following days). I can’t use dove because i am allergic but i do use another lotion. I tried the medium/dark kind and it turned me orange in two days. I would try the spray on tan, it is what worked best for me when i needed to look tan.
    Hope I helped!
