I've been using MineTan for a few years now and it's very natural looking. It actually smells good. It's a foam which has color and you apply it with a mitt. Several shades to choose from. I suggest going to their website at minetanskinbody dot com and there you'll find how to pick a shade for your skin type. Look in their banner for SHADE FINDER and then follow it through. That's how I found the one I'm using now.

ETA- If you decide to get the MineTan foam, please get their mitt. It's made for it and it's a very good one, never streaky.

ETA - Qvc sells Minetan products.

@mollymaggie After extensive fails, I now use a large dollop of Alba Very Emollient Body Lotion Coconut Rescue (probably could use any lotion) with a smaller dollop of Jergens Natural Glow medium/tan color, blend them in my hand and apply. This produces a nice gentle tan without the small dark spots and unevenness. I do this 4 times....for each leg and arm/shoulder area. It has been working for me after so many attempts at much more expensive products. It is gradual/natural look and I apply approximately every 3 days. Everyone is different, but I hope it works for you! Happy tanning!

@phoenixbrd

I agree, the Jergens Natural Glow, is a subtle, natural tan that you can 'build up', if you so desire.

I'll have to try adding your Alba product, thanks for mentioning it!

I see sooo many orange tan ladies in the summer.

I like the 'Jergens Natural Glow' in Med/Tan - it has a very subtle scent that I like and dries quickly.... compared to the Jergens Natural Glow + Firming - the scent was too strong for me, did not care for, plus very inexpensive. I also use the one for the face as well. Does give a natural tan look.

@mollymaggie I tried this one two a while back, the tan lux in the moisturizer. Whie it's easy and convenient, I didn't really like the color either, seemed to be on the orange side.

What really ****** me off was after showering it rubbed of on my bath towel so I had these orange blotches on the towel. This happened for days after. Mind you in between showers I never reapplied the tan lux, what I had on was ample, and not a good color either.

Needless to say I returned it. I am so done with self tanners, I don't care who's name is ont he label.

I am also done with self tanners, never found one I loved or that didnt smell, time to be pale and embrace it.

Jergens has horrible ingredients in it, no wonder it is very inexpensive.

I had that Tan Luxe garbage and ended up throwing it away--smelled like dirty feet on me as do ALL those tanners----I use a bronzer that washes off in the shower with ok luck---used one the-at was clear with tiny bubbles of color in it that was wonderful--was on the Q but that was a few year ago---no luck finding it anywhere

@Shelbelle I agree, They all say no scent but they all have a very odd scent after a few hours. I give up, I"m just trying to keep my skin as healthy as I can.

A few weeks ago I reported about the Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun tanning mousse. I bought the light/medium for use on my legs only because they just don't tan like the rest of me does. I did not like it at all.

I will retract some of my horrible review and say that I decided to buy a mitt and with a mitt application, I do like it better. I still do not think it gives me much instant color at all. And in order for me to get my desired color, I do have to apply 2 nights in a row.

The tan does last a week on me however, I stand behind my original comment that the smell is disgusting. It's disgusting out of the bottle, it's disgusting after application and it's disgusting after a shower, I applied some just on my legs last night, showered this morning and I can still smell that on me. I cannot imagine using this on my entire body. I wouldn't be able to stand myself.

@Lipstickdiva

The heavy fragrance of that Jergens self tanner doesn't sit well with me either. It's too strong! I used it a couple of times then tossed it b/c of the fragrance.

@Shelbelle and @Jtdmum....you must be referring to the Jergens Glow + Firming, the scent is very strong and nauseating, I purchased it and had to throw it away. As my original post stated, I prefer the 'Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer' the scent is very subtle....I do not like any strong smelling fragrances in perfumes either.

I was not referring to any scent, but to the terrible ingredients used in these Jergens self tanners

mineral oil, petroleum. DMDM Hydantoin and full of parabens. It doesnt get much worse than these.
