Spray tan vs. gradual tanner?

I am pretty pale and was adamantly against getting a spray tan because I've never done it and worried it'll come out looking orangey/fake. But I was testing out Jergen's daily moisturizer but honestly I did it for 2 weeks straight and barely had any color. I really don't want to look like a ghost in...

I am pretty pale and was adamantly against getting a spray tan because I've never done it and worried it'll come out looking orangey/fake. But I was testing out Jergen's daily moisturizer but honestly I did it for 2 weeks straight and barely had any color. I really don't want to look like a ghost in my pictures, many of my BMs and FH tan pretty well so I'm worried by comparison I'll look pasty. Should I look into spray tanning options - does anyone know how to avoid the "orange crayon" look if you spray tan as a pale person? Or do you have other recommendations for gradual tanner that might work a little better? I've been thinking about trying St. Tropez or Mary Kay but I don't want to invest in a lot of expensive products that may or may not work.

Thank you!

    Which version of Jergens gradual tanner are you using? I am also on the pale side and their version for fair skinned people did not do much for me either so I started using the one for darker complexion and got beautiful, natural results. I ended up not doing any tanning for my wedding since it was in December, but my MUA added a little bronzer on me just to warm me up a bit.

    I am going to start gardening in the backyard in the wee morning hours in my bikini and hope that helps. Those chemicals can be pretty harsh. Maybe try alba products?
