Hi

I'm looking for a natural easy to apply self tan, that doesn't smell like self tan, that can be used on your face without being greasy, ideally in a spray format as it dries quick. Any ideas which one is good?

Thanks in advance Confused

Well, the Jergen's Natural Glow is a very good one but it takes a while to develop. I also haven't used it on my face but I think it smells ok. There's a big long thread about it on the Product Reviews forum that you might want to read Wink

Hi Sarah,

i have tried nearly every fake tan out there, for one that works quickly i would reccommend the Loreal Sublime Bronze, u can get it in a spray or lotion but the spray dries quicker and u start to see the first colour in an hour. i could dress in about 15 mins as it was fully dry. It is easy to apply and gives a good natural colour - however i want a good dark tan so have ordered a sun labs one as the st tropez isnt dark enough and is tacky for ages.

Hope this helps

Jergen's sounds good, will have to try to get some on my next trip to the US. Smile

I agree...Jergen's Natural Glow is an excellent product that comes in two formulas...light and medium. I'm an NC25...light complexion and use the light formula, which is fine for me. I've used many ST's and this is a wonderful product. I use this on my face also, and have had no problems. (my skin is on the dry side) Jergen's provides me with a natural looking color, and if used daily, can provide a tanned appearance.
When I want something with more of a "kick," I use Clarins self-tanners. I would say that all of their self-tanning products are good, but I especially like the pure radiance product for my face, which produces a less-dramatic effect.

something natural Johnson and Johnson Holiday sun, it's self tan mixed with body lotion so 'hopefully' you won't get the mistakes you get with regular self tans.
Fake Bake is pretty good.

I just was able to get my hands on Jergen's Natural Glow. I gave the medium a shot and really like it. The price is right and so easy to apply. The color I received from the medium on my light olive skin is very natural. Will for sure buy again. Very Happy

Yes, I have heard that this Jergens product is flying off the shelves. I saw it on-sale in the drugstore last weekend, was tempted to buy it, but resisted.

I am very, very pale right now. No colour whatsoever. Usually, I get a bit of sun during the warmer months. We've had a cool summer (so-far), and my body is definitely not in beach-shape. Therefore, my pale complexion suits me.

I have used the Decleor sunless tanning spray and it is fantastic. Look for it in the red bottle. The girl at Sephora told me that it works with your own natural pigment (melonama? sp) so it produces a natural color. Most of the time I wind up orange-y but this color was great. I've tried most out there on the market and this one impressed me the most, but haven't given the Jergens one a try yet.

the towels sound good, but just didn't work for me...

Tantowel make me so itchy I scratched the colour off in patches!!! and it was hard to use around the ankles/feet/knees.

Loreal sublime gel worked for me, but others despise it!
