Self Tanner? - Chantilly,VA

If you're as glow in the dark/see through white as I am, don't even bother; save your money. No matter what, you'll look like a mix between Snooki and an oompa loompa ;) I've tried them all and nothing has worked, not even the stuff my dermatologist recommended. I'm ghostly all year round (until my freckles pop out, that's all the color I get!!)

My daughter and I use one from Bath and Body. It does not smell too bad. It is a bronzer so you get some color right away and it self tans.

Daughter has also used L'Oreal and likes it a lot except for the smell.

Guinot is my favorite

I like the lotion kind at Bath and Body Works (from their True Blue spa line). They have a spray one too but it doesn't work as well. It really works and looks natural.

I've used Clinique's and liked it. Haven't tried any others.

Don't laugh-Jergen's.

natures gate has a lovely natural-looking lotion that also has a very light pleasant fragrance. but don't use it every day, or the palms of your hands (used to apply it) turn darker!

try the neutrogena micro mist.. i just did it yesterday and it is a gradual tanner so if you miss a spot you can see it soon and fix it on the next application.. i got my husband to highlight my abs with it and now my stomach looks way more toned than it really is LOL plus it dries super fast, doesnt orange and smells great (and doesn't stain your clothes, i wore white linen shorts with no problems like 20 min after app). And it does wonders on stretch marks. Best product ever.

I have fair skin and I love Jergens!!! I buy the fair line and then once I get some color I move up to the medium tone.

Lush.com It is called Charlotte Island. It is all natural and smells amazing. and a little bit goes along way. I am almost a shade of white you can see through. This stuff makes me look like a beach bum!!! and it is not fake looking.

I am not a fan of the stuff you can get at the store. The smell makes my head hurt. this stuff is a combo of a soft coco smell and a little coconut hit underlying:)

I use Loreal Sublime Bronze. It is a cream and has a little color upon application which helps prevent streaks. I find it gives me a very natural color. I used it Saturday morning, and am now following it up with the Jergen's self tanning moisturizer,after my showers, to keep the color.

Beware of your knees and ankles - they seem to take on more color - so be sparing.

I personally love self tanners!!!

Have fun at the beach!!!

God Bless

I tried the Jergens foaming moisturizer and really like it. It dries quickly and it goes on evenly.

Kiehls. It's wonderful, doen't streak and only takes one application. Give it a try. You can get it online or in a high end department store.

Mary Kay has a great subtle tanning lotion. the color appears gradually over a week, and you don't look orange when using it.
