Jergens Natural Glow +Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion, Fair to Medium Skin Tone, Sunless Tanning Moisturizer with Collagen and Elastin. Helps to Visibly Reduce Cellulite, 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

I live in Vegas where it’s super fashionable to be tan, but there’s about two months a year where you can enjoy the sun without getting super fried. Don’t mind a bit of a natural tan from those days but it’s dangerous in the summer. Plus I have tattoos to protect! Got the light even though technically I am a medium skin tone and naturally tan dark, but that’s when it’s from the sun. I have read that the deep version turns you a bit orange, and I’m not trying to emulate our dear 47th president haha.You have to rub it in very well. Like I am getting a workout from rubbing it in so much. Focus on each section for like 60-90 seconds like upper arm, Lower arm, upper leg, lower leg etc. Get that mitt if you must, but I found I didn’t need it. FYI It spreads better if you’re slightly damp like after a shower. I am only using it on arms, legs, shoulders/neck and face as nobody but my husband will ever see the middle haha. Great stuff, so far the light version has not turned me into a cheeto.

I started using this in Florida last month when we were there for 3 weeks. I had used the light version in the past but i started using this medium after tanning and have been home in the great lakes state freezing my butt off since we got back and I repurchased this and use it after the shower every day. Head to toe. Tan is still there and I know this product helped keep my skin hydrated and added a tint to keep my tan going! Love this stuff! Best of all it doesnt leave streaking or orange hands and fingers. Gradually tints and keeps your tan.

As a young adult who has never used proper self tanner mousse/spray tans/anything of that realm, I wanted to use a gradual lotion first. After about 3 separate times of use, I can say this is a great temporary self tanner lotion for beginners and fellow extremely pale girlies. I am super duper pale in the winter, so I used the light to medium and after ONE use I will be very noticeably tan, so be warned about that.Here are some recommended steps I learned after using this a few times:1. Exfoliate in the shower with a scrub or loofah ALL OVER. Everywhere that you want to tan with the lotion. Shave your legs or anywhere you like to remove your hair that you will be putting the tanner lotion on.2. After drying off, use a really hydrating body lotion/moisturizer with minimal to no scent ALL over really well without leaving any dry spots. The lotion itself really doesn’t smell that strong, but for some reason when mixed with strongly scented body lotions it is an extremely strong unpleasant smell.3. Let your regular body moisturizer dry a bit before putting on the tanner lotion everywhere with a tanning mitt, making sure there are no dry spots and that you equally put the same amount on each arm/leg etc. TIPS: use a fluffy makeup brush to apply the tanner to your hands, wrists, fingers, feet, ankles, elbows, and toes so that there is a nice blend. NOTE, these areas tend to pick up extra tanner lotion which can come out darker. I recommend you don’t focus on these areas when you are applying the tanner to your whole body, and then at the end put a little product on the brush and blend the areas I mentioned above.4. I shower at night and do all these steps usually before bed and when I wake up in the morning it’s usually settled quite well. I don’t shower until later in the day again and it looks quite dark. Once I shower it’s reduced a bit and will keep color for 5-6 days! I really like it but there can certainly be user error quite easily if you don’t moisturize or blend a certain spot well. There is absolutely no transfer on clothing or bedding and I have white sheets. If you’re not totally pale but don’t want to be very dark from the medium to dark tanner, use it once every two or three days twice a week. Warning tho, im pretty pale and one time every two weeks ish is more than fine for me. Picture is from the first time I did it where my arms were really tan but I didn’t use a brush to blend my wrist and fingers, where you can see my natural skin tone.

This lotion was recommended to me by a friend who tans easily. I was told to prepare my skin for South American travel and I didn't get burnt. I now use it to keep my lovely, natural tan aglow. Love Jergens, this one is rich and moisturizing.

Gives a nice natural looking tan. If you apply thoroughly and wash had afterwards as the instructions say, it doesn’t leave any streaks, and it smells so nice!

I was shocked at how good this works & without a smell!! Everything else I’ve tried makes me smell weird, this does not. I like how smooth it goes on and how it doesn’t make places like knees & elbows & ankles looking like a fake tanning lotion.

I'm disappointed in the product. It tans gradually, which is good; but you have to be super careful with your application because it streaks easily. Here's a tip though, if you use a tanning brush applicator, it looks better than when hand applied.

This stuff works like magic!! It doesn’t smell, streak or look fake like most self tanners! I love this product!!
