Tanning lotion

JackoftheBox · April 2014

So the color of my skin is called casper i think? LOL wanted to try out some of that gradual tanning lotion stuff before short season. Any suggestions?

I really like the Jergens gradual daily lotion. It's a little stinky (so I apply at night) but it's relatively easy to use and causes minimal streakage. Also, they make one specifically for fairer skin.

Signed, a fellow Casper.

Go get an airbrush tan where the person sprays you, not the booth. I swear by it!

I had that done once but it only lasted like 7 days!

I thought I was the only one who thought it smelled terrible. I liked the color but the stink made me stop using it!

@eyenigh Have you found one that doesn't smell? Everyone I have tried smells awful (at least to me) so I put it on at night and try to ignore the smell lol.

Lol. No. I just quit using them. My level of commitment to tanning is low so I didn't try very hard.

I got the jergens + firming and maybe i am weird but i didn't think it smelled terrible.

Haha very true. I haven't used them since I got pregnant but was thinking of starting again. I may just keep embracing my Casper status :P

I'm also allergic to so much that it makes the challenge of finding something usable even harder. Estee Lauder used to make a pretty decent one that didn't really stink at all but it did have something in it that was irritating to me. The bottle is also kind of small for the price (my mom works for Estee Lauder so it was free for me but I don't think I'd pay that much for that size bottle unless I REALLY wanted a tan).

I am also Casper and like the self tanning lotion. I agree the spray on doesn't last the longest. Make sure you exfloiate well before applying, that makes it last longer. Also I find I like the results when I use one for your body and the specific one for your face. Currently I have one DH gave me for christmas from victoria secrets but I haven't tried it yet.

This is me...

Yea i pretty much sparkle...

hopefulmom81 · April 2014

True story. I got a spray tan last year and came into work. My boss was like, "You look different today, you look healthier than I have seen you". HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I am so pasty I look like death, I guess.

JackoftheBox · April 2014

Lol i can totally relate to you guys! Also being a redhead i have like a bluish tint under my eyes so that doesn't help in the slightest. Thankfully i have freckles and they somewhat balance me out!

I don't mind the smell either. Though, when LO squeezed half the bottle onto/into the living carpet last summer, it was a tad overwhelming. Haha.

Banana boat endless summer spray on is my go-to. I also get Mystic for important events, but the home stuff is much cheaper.

JackoftheBox · April 2014

So either i am neon or this stuff works really good! I can already see an improvement and i have only used it twice!
