Tan anyone?

sophiamarie — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 01:01:13 GMT

I saw a thread about Jergens Tanning mousse somewhere and now I can't find it.

Does anyone know about this product and if so, please give me what info you have. I have googled it and so many different things come up, I don't know what I need or even, which shade I would need.

Any help will be appreciated. TIA

I tried to use it, but it smells like perfume. (it was the lotion)

I think you're talking about Jergen's Natural Glow. It's a moisturizer. If you use it every day for five or so days, you will get a little color. It comes in a couple different tones.

Perfume? I wish it smelled like perfume.

It does work, but when it dries down it has that stinky self-tanner smell.

I use Hawaiian Tropic Hint of Color year round. Nice color and it smells good.

I have used every brand on the market, including the very insignificant Jergens Natural Glow. I prefer to go to the VersaTan booth and get sprayed for an all-over, natural looking tan. I am fair-haired and light skinned, as well as a three-time melanoma survivor, so no tanning beds for me, and lots of SPF when I golf.

i like the tan towels at hsn. i have been using them for years. you can use them all over the body. i take a shower at night, use the tan towels after i have dried off, and i wake up with a nice tan.......no mess, very little smell.

I've used the Jergens lotion. It was called Glow something, I think, but not sure. It does work, but you have to keep up with it or it will fade. Also, it's better to be patient. I layered too quickly and got splotchy. Also, whatever you use, be sure to exfoliate real well first or you could get splotchy from that too. Right now I'm feeling a little tempted to try the Josie Maran tanning oil with the glove. I've read the glove isn't so great, but the product gives a nice result.

I have ever only used any kind of self tanner on my legs. I figure if I put it on my arms, then I need to do my hands and shoulders, if it's on my shoulders, then I need to do my chest, then my neck, then my face. Can't reach my back lol

I agree with what you said about Jergens.

@sophiamarie If you try it I'd start with the lightest one to see if it works for you.

I tried the lotion and when it wore off it left patches rather than fading naturally plus I didn't like the scent.

I've used L'Oreal towelettes for years and like them very much.

Thanks for all the feedback ladies. I'm still on the fence. Imagine, I live in Florida and have to get a phony tan because I already had skin cancer and don't want to go through that again.

I am not fair-complexioned - more on the medium/olive side. I read some of the reviews and they all got the "dark bronze" - even those with fair complexions. Maybe someone at Walgreens or wherever, will tell me what my color is.

Again, thanks - and I'll let you know if/what I get. I was also thinking about those tan towels that I used to see on the H - Toni Bratton??? Boy, that had to be more than 20 years ago......I would use those in a heartbeat if they really worked like they say.

@sophiamarie I just did a Google search to see if Toni Brattin still made the mousse of yesteryear. Sadly she doesn't. But her website shows a gel instead. I used her foam many years ago and loved it. Haven't used her gel,tho. Good luck in your search!

also,I've used the tan towels from H but I get better color from L'Oreal.

I use this everyday and have for years! Great stuff. Get the med/dark formula for best results. NO stink at all! The foam makes it so easy to apply and you get a beautiful glow! I use it all over.... even on my face and I constantly get "where did you go to get get that great tan?". This is the best I've ever found...and I tried them ALL!

I live at the beach and still use self tanner all over.

It's in the 70s today so I did a *tan* last night.

I use Suzanne Organics Healthy Glow which is a hint of color, I use Suzanne Organics Self Tanner for the hotter months.

What I love the most (besides not containing any toxic chemicals) is the color they give me.

The Body Glow is not messy, it's a white cream that you put on as moisturizer. I wear gloves. Never any streaking. I do it at night and wear long sleeved cotton PJs. Next morning I shower and have a really nice color.

The self tanner is a dark serum and it will transfer, so long sleeved pajamas again. Shower in the morning and a gorgeous color. Not orange at all although I'm fair skinned and it takes well on me.

Not going to lie, sometimes there is an off scent, but I get in the shower first thing in the morning. Never anything *off* after that shower!

I always spoke to my students about tanning. They'd ask me how I had a "nice color" if I didn't "tan".

I brought a tube of Jergens Glow and showed them! (the foam is newer). You do need rubber gloves though. They're about $6.00/100 a box at Walmart!

If I used them two nights in a row, I'd just drape them over my trash can.

I did have to use rubber bands around my wrist though, the small kept slipping off when I rubbed!
