The BEST Sunless Tanning Lotion ? ? ?

[disneyaggie]

I do not want to lay out in the sun, nor do I want to go to a tanning bed. So what sunless tanning products have you found that do not leave line streaks, make your skin orange or make you smell awful?

Thanks!

I would start with the gradual ones Jergens, Olay & lots others have them. I like L'real or Netugena I buy at CVS becaus if I don't like it I can take it back. My sister swears by Banana Boat but she has a medium skin tone. Don't forget to use a scrub before you start, do that for a couple days first, then when you get to the level of color you like, scrub on the mornings before reaply

I have used the Jergens and found that to be good. It does still have that smell a little bit though. I need to start doing something for our trip in June. I should go out in the sun for a little bit each day but with DS it's so hard. It's been SOOOO hot this week. I am probably the palest person that lives in S. Florida. Seriously ....

I like the jergens one too... no orange or streaks. The smell isn't great but I do it at night.

Can you wear perfume with this (perfume has alcohol in it)? The reason I am asking is that I forked out some hard earned money for the Mystic Tan (spray on tan at the tanning salon). While is it ok, I can't wear any lotions with mineral oil, and no perfumes (unless it is from their store, of course). I spritzed some Laila on yesterday and today it looks like I have a disease. I have spots everywhere! This is where the alcohol-based perfume "ate" the color.

I don't want to tan in a booth or outside. So is Jergens pretty "user friendly"? Thanks!

I think the Jergens is great. I have had no problems with streaking. They have one that works quicker and I tried it first and thought it has an orange tint to it but then I got the gradual one and it is more natural looking.

I am just using it on my arms and legs, has anyone used the face lotion? I have been thinking about trying it but wonder how well it works, and how does it do on the ears? Can't have a tan face and white ears!

I have the face lotion and I am afraid to use it!

I use perfume with Jergens and haven't had any problems.

As per my tag, haha, you can tell I love the tan towels you can order off HSN. They are amazing! You just missed them as their TSV, too, it was a really good deal.

I also use build-a-tan from Neutrogena, but I'm not sure if they still make it. I bought it like 2 months ago but I didn't see it the last time I was in the tanning aisle at the store. It does have a slight smell but I also have a really strong nose! Not enough to offend me, just enough for me to be like, hmm I ought to put it on before I go to bed (and it doesn't stain my sheets or clothes). With that I just made sure I actually rubbed in the lotion like I would body lotion, and I didn't get streaks. Since it is gradual (like the Jergens) I didn't get orange... and I'm verrrry pale.

No. My facial skin peels wayyyy too frequently. Two words for you: tinted moisturizer.

I do have the Cover Girl tinted moisturizer and I will probably use that when we go to WDW. But I also have hot flashes and it is hard to apply make-up when your face is sweating! I am just afraid it will settle into my wrinkles, not the look I am going for.

One of my best friends love Dove much better than jergen's. I walk out into the sun and I tan.

I've been using the Bath and Body Works one that is gradual. I like it. Last year I used a spray from Coppertone and really liked it. The BBW is very gradual and doesn't seem to be making me as dark as I'd like. The Coppertone made me pretty dark and looked pretty natural, too. I got lots of comments about how much "sun" I had. I'll probably go back to the Coppertone right before we leave for Disney in July.

Loreal sublime glow works nice. Very gradual and natural looking.
