I've done the tanning bed thing along with spray booths & airbrush tans but my most recent craze is self-tanning lotions. They're aren't harmful for your skin and you can somewhat control how much or little of a tan you get.
I aim for a gradual & natural look...nothing crazy just prefer not to be the color of the wall, that's all. So far I've tried 4 different sunless tanning lotions with very different outcomes/effects.
My #1 Pick:
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
(Retail price: $9.99)
For the price, you can't go wrong and it gives me the gradual/natural look I want. You can slowly build your tan over time if you use it as your daily moisturizer.
So Bronze Tinted Lotion
(Retail price: $29.99)
It's quite pricey and I think it worked too well or maybe I shouldn't have bought the Medium/Dark lotion because I almost turned into a different race. It also dries very quickly so it's hard to spread/rub it evenly onto your skin. I may or may not try the Light/Medium one in the future.
Ulta Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion with SPF
(Retail Price $8.99)
Didn't notice any color difference in my skin so won't be purchasing this one again. Note: I bought the Medium Deep lotion color which had no effect on my skin.
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
(Retail price: $9.99)

I really love the St. Tropez mousse or the Jergens gradual!
ReplyDeletei like lancome flash bronzer - it doesn't have a weird smell and you can build on the color. usually tanners make me look orange but this is the only one that doesn't (i only use tanners on my face)
