Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Daily Moisturizer Medium to Tan Skin Tones 7.5oz

This stuff is incredible! My skin is fair to medium. More on the fair side, but not pale. I am also not prone to breaking out. I was honestly expecting this to be disappointing. The directions say "You will begin to see a subtle development of color within several days" which could mean 3 days to never. I put it on the first time overnight and when I woke up, I saw a little tan but I thought maybe it was my imagination. The next night, I put it on one leg and not the other and I woke up to a VERY visible difference! It was subtle for sure, but definitely there. Now after 3 days on my arms and face/chest, I have a sort of "been back from vacation for a few weeks but still have residual tan" color. Self-tanning has always annoyed me, so I haven't done it often but this is VERY easy and I'm not orange. The lotion doesn't stink at all and it goes on just like any other lotion. Just make sure to wash your hands with soap after applying and beware of dry spots because they will become darker.

I live in Vegas where it’s super fashionable to be tan, but there’s about two months a year where you can enjoy the sun without getting super fried. Don’t mind a bit of a natural tan from those days but it’s dangerous in the summer. Plus I have tattoos to protect! Got the light even though technically I am a medium skin tone and naturally tan dark, but that’s when it’s from the sun. I have read that the deep version turns you a bit orange, and I’m not trying to emulate our dear 47th president haha.You have to rub it in very well. Like I am getting a workout from rubbing it in so much. Focus on each section for like 60-90 seconds like upper arm, Lower arm, upper leg, lower leg etc. Get that mitt if you must, but I found I didn’t need it. FYI It spreads better if you’re slightly damp like after a shower. I am only using it on arms, legs, shoulders/neck and face as nobody but my husband will ever see the middle haha. Great stuff, so far the light version has not turned me into a cheeto.

As a young adult who has never used proper self tanner mousse/spray tans/anything of that realm, I wanted to use a gradual lotion first. After about 3 separate times of use, I can say this is a great temporary self tanner lotion for beginners and fellow extremely pale girlies. I am super duper pale in the winter, so I used the light to medium and after ONE use I will be very noticeably tan, so be warned about that.Here are some recommended steps I learned after using this a few times:1. Exfoliate in the shower with a scrub or loofah ALL OVER. Everywhere that you want to tan with the lotion. Shave your legs or anywhere you like to remove your hair that you will be putting the tanner lotion on.2. After drying off, use a really hydrating body lotion/moisturizer with minimal to no scent ALL over really well without leaving any dry spots. The lotion itself really doesn’t smell that strong, but for some reason when mixed with strongly scented body lotions it is an extremely strong unpleasant smell.3. Let your regular body moisturizer dry a bit before putting on the tanner lotion everywhere with a tanning mitt, making sure there are no dry spots and that you equally put the same amount on each arm/leg etc. TIPS: use a fluffy makeup brush to apply the tanner to your hands, wrists, fingers, feet, ankles, elbows, and toes so that there is a nice blend. NOTE, these areas tend to pick up extra tanner lotion which can come out darker. I recommend you don’t focus on these areas when you are applying the tanner to your whole body, and then at the end put a little product on the brush and blend the areas I mentioned above.4. I shower at night and do all these steps usually before bed and when I wake up in the morning it’s usually settled quite well. I don’t shower until later in the day again and it looks quite dark. Once I shower it’s reduced a bit and will keep color for 5-6 days! I really like it but there can certainly be user error quite easily if you don’t moisturize or blend a certain spot well. There is absolutely no transfer on clothing or bedding and I have white sheets. If you’re not totally pale but don’t want to be very dark from the medium to dark tanner, use it once every two or three days twice a week. Warning tho, im pretty pale and one time every two weeks ish is more than fine for me. Picture is from the first time I did it where my arms were really tan but I didn’t use a brush to blend my wrist and fingers, where you can see my natural skin tone.

I love the Jergens Natural Glow +Firming Self Tanner! It gives my skin a gradual, natural-looking tan without streaks or an overpowering scent. The addition of collagen and elastin is a bonus—I’ve noticed my skin feels smoother and looks firmer after consistent use. The formula is moisturizing and perfect for my fair to medium skin tone. The pack of two is great value, ensuring I always have a backup. Highly recommend for a sunless tan with extra skin benefits!

Consistent every time I have fair skin and have only used on my legs in summer but every year I try others and always come back to this. Even and easy to apply, it is not colored so on first application you may notice a fee areas you missed but easy to fix on your next application. Gives nice coverage and you control how light ir dark you want the tan. Easy!

I’m shocked how strong this is, in a good way, but you should be careful to apply it nice and use some gloves or body brush. I applied just ones and next day I see that my skin really changed the color. You can see a tan line on my foot where I did and didn’t apply the cream. 😁

The first 2 times I used it you couldn't really tell if it did anything I just thought I should take it as a loss I wasn't expecting much but the third time I used a whole bunch of it and the next morning it looked like I spent some time in the sun. Nothing crazy if I want to keep getting the tan looked I'll probably only be able to get 2 more uses out of it. So onlygetting 5 uses out of a whole tub of cream doesn't seem that much.

Seriously fantastic. I have legs that reflect the light instead of tan and arms that tan a little + freckled heavily. Two applications of this and my legs match my arms! The nice smell and added moisture are great too.
