Need help finding fake tan that will actually work!

Ok so I’m like super pale (like in a sickly almost grey way) and it’s something I hate so much. It ruins basically every outfit and I just look ill. It’s especially annoying as someone who loves wearing pastel colours but can’t cause they wash me out. My dream is to be super tanned and warm toned but I cannot for the life of me find a tan that works. I’ve had spray tans a few times and they have taken quite well (and improved by self confidence and general looks drastically) however I find they fade after like 2-3 days so it really isn’t affordable to get them. Fake tan mouse wise I have quite sensitive skin and exzema which is also an issue. I’ve tried Bondi liquid gold and while the colour did show it flared by exzema horribley and basically burnt my skin giving me massive red rashes and stinging that took weeks to treat. I’ve tried coco and eve in shade dark but even after putting on multiple coats and leaving overnight it not only stung horribly and broke out my exzema, but it gave me zero result and the tan did not take one bit. I just tried effn express tan in the shade dark and while it looked promising at first, and my skin seems to like it as I’ve had no reaction, the guide colour has completely washed off in the shower even after leaving on for 4 hours (it says min 2). It has been a day now and the tan has done nothing and I am no darker than my natural skin. Can somebody please give me recommendations for a tan that is friendly for sensitive skin but will also work and take to my skin as I’m following all the advice and rules about how to prep for tanning and it still doesn’t work. I am after a proper dark tan so a mouse would be ideal but I’m not opposed to a serum or gradual tan lotion either. Any advice would be appreciated xxx
