Non Drying Self Tanner or Gradual Tanner - Is there such a thing?

I have tried the Jergens, the tan towel, the tan towel gradual, a couple of the foam ones and no matter what they dry my skin out, makes me look scaly (YES I EXFOLIATE) and when it wears off I am blothy.

I know this topic has gone around a few times and I think I've even posted but HONESTLY is there such a thing as one that won't dry the skin off and WILL NOT WEAR OFF BLOTCH!!! Nothing worse than being on vacation and you have all these uneven blotchy spots as it wears off, so embrassing!!

 

Thank you!! Smiley Happy

I was a TanTowel fan like forever. Then several posters here recommended MineTan and I absolutely love it! It's a foam, comes in many shades and does not dry out my skin. My tan seems to last waaay longer than anything else I've tried and it doesn't turn orange or get blotchy...it just wears off evenly. I think it's the best self-tanner!

Hands down Mine Tan!   I use their coconut foam mousse and as an extender every few days I use their violet clear foam and it truly looks natural. 

I just received a gratis of the new St. Tropez water tanner which boasts that it is super hydrating AND long wearing but I've yet to try it.

How do you get the tanner, any tanner, on to your back?

I found Jergens Glow turned me green.  I'm barely olive complectioned.

 

I prefer San Tropez foam.  The color is true.

 

I get my back with a glove.  I'm "double jointed".Smiley Happy

I have one of these things. It's made for applying self-tanners on your back. The material is velour-like, washable and reusable. @Anonymous032819

I use Tan-Luxe from HSN. 

I always buy the new formula, even though the old one still works great for me.

I'm sorry @SandGirl . Which one of what?

 

If you are asking about what shade of MineTan foam I use...I went to the MineTan website and there they will show you how to choose your shade and type of product best suited for your skin type. That's how I picked the one I use. Everyone skin color is different.
