@Boehm Collector I rarely use self tanner, but on an ocassion when I have on a short sleeve top or legs are showing, I'm still using the Jergens Gradual Tanning Lotion.
I like that it builds up so I can control the color and I get the moisturizing affect at the same time.

@Shanus .. I normally don't use self tanner either. But I'm going down the shore in June and don't want to look like a ghost. LOL I have also used Jergens Gradual Tanning Lotion but find that it streaks.

To avoid streaking, it's recommended to apply the lotion in fast circular motion, I don't have an issue with it streaking when I use it.

Whichever self-tanner you decide to get, applying it with a mitt (lotions, foams, serums) helps reduce streaking. There are different quality mitts out there but i think MineTan's mitt is a very good one. I never had a streaky problem with that one.
Amazon sells MineTan mitts for about $7. it makes a difference with a good mitt.

@Boehm Collector I sometimes mix it with my CeraVe or regular body moisturizer. It helps dilute it and spread easily.

One of the age old Beaauty questions:
Good Self Tanner???
1) ALWAYS Exfoliate *FIRST
2) ALWAYS Lotion, the area *SECOND
Without these steps, even the Best Self Tanner will fail, usually, IMHO
3a) Currently, I'm using the following (fr HSN)
--> "Tan-Luxe The Big Butter 16.9 fl. oz. Tanning Butter 16oz Pump Bottle (~$40) (SingleShip, or Auto Ship)
(SEE PICTURE (3a) BELOW)
3b) Another, I used for yrs, & would return is from the Drug Store:
--> "L'Oreal SUBLIME BRONZE Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion Medium Natural Tan 5 oz" (~ $14, Call yr Drug Store for yr $$)
(SEE PICTURE (3b) BELOW)
~~~~~~~~~`
(ADDED: Returned here to add pic's of the above (2) recommended Self Tan products.)
~~~~~~~~~~
(3a) Tan-Luxe 16 oz
~~~~~~~~~~
(3b) L'Oreal "Sublime Bronze" in the Tube
GOOD LUCK! Happy Self Tanning!
