Tanning lotions!

Question

I have suuuper pale skin and have never used any sort of tanning product, but this year I decided it might be nice to have a LITTLE color in the summer (without risking the sunburn I'm prone to). I started using the Jergens in-shower gradual tanning lotion a couple of weeks ago but I feel like it's barely had any effect at all. Any other inexpensive suggestions? I thought this one would be easy since there's no mess, but oh well!

I like Haute Bronze body glow - you can purchase at Ulta for around $28 - great gradual results.

I don't think Jergens works as well as some other brands. EcoTan and St. Tropez are my favorites!

I use Jergins, too, but it is the self-tanning lotion (NOT bronzer!). It works beautifully!! It comes in Light-Medium and Medium-Dark. I've been having a hard time finding it, though and hope it's not discontinued. It would work great for you. Just don't get the 'bronzer' or lotion that says 'glow'. It is self-tanning lotion. I've used them all and this one is the fastest and best application., Good luck! Oh and it's under $20!

I've used this, too, and it is the 'lotion', not bronzer or glow or shimmer.. I also use cheap latex gloves for application. https://www.amazon.com/Banana-Boat-Self-Tanning-Lotion-Medium/dp/B00VK5S2P4/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=self%2Btanning%2Blotion&qid=1565723206&s=beauty&sr=1-13&th=1

Hi Suzy!  I definitely feel your pain with wanting to have a little glow in the summer, without harming your skin by tanning.  I have had such great luck with L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Serum.  It is usually around $10 and is available at stores like Target, Walmart, or even Amazon.  The color shows up in about 4 hours, so I usually try to apply it the night before I want to have a little extra color.  I recommend you shave or exfoliate before applying, rub the serum in really well and make sure to wash your hands afterwards.   Here's a link to the Amazon listing for it:
