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 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!
