Fake tanning and going to the gym?

I want to look more summery and tan, sunbeds are not an option.

I'm using a fake tan mousse but it leaves marks when I'm at the gym sweating. I work out most days so this will be a problem. I'm considering using a gradual moisturiser.

I'm interested in whether other people have faced this problem and what worked best for them? Thanks!

    Just make sure to count to 5 and turn.

    Problem? I tan too easily.. My legs and mid-section + back are still yellow, though, as I don't feel like tanning them until I go to the beach and get a proper ALL OVER tan.. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:
    (Yes, yellow, I has strange skintone).

    I use a gradual tanner year round. I just put it on at bedtime and leave it to develop over night then shower in the morning. Build it up as required - I have no problems doing this and going to the gym :)

    Do you use it every day? I use this about once a week in the summer and have never noticed it leaving marks anywhere:

    I had the same problem. I started using the Jergens (or an off brand) gradual tanning lotions and haven't had any problems with streaking or the gross spots on my elbows and kneed.
