I love to have a tan, but hate the effects of sunbeds and the sun. I have tried lots of fake tans such as fake bake, st tropez and johnstons moisturiser which builds a graduale tan. I like the fake tan for the first couple of days but after about the 3rd day my skin becomes patchy and almost like "snake skin". Does anyone know how to prevent this?
Mix your tanner with moisturiser in your hand before applying it, if you put it half and half the moisturiser will stop your skin from drying out, also you moisturise your skin daily if you are using these products as they do dry the skin out. Not sure if you have already tried this but this was my main problem before I learned the half and half rule and never had a problem since. Also the cheaper moisturisers like the tesco 79p one can work just as well to save you spending a fortune on both products
