Jergens Natural Glow?

Cass, on April 30, 2017 at 7:51 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 20

Has anyone used and seen success with jergens natural glow? I keep looking at pictures of myself in my dress and I look like a ghost!

Tanning isn't an option since I'm so fair skinned that I get burned just walking out to the mailbox... lol

    I've used it before and it turned me orange. I have very fair skin. For the wedding I'm getting an airbrush tan. I've gotten one twice before and it has looked great both times.

    Ugh I used this back in my middle school days..skip it!

    If you want a quality fake tan, look into professional airbrushing OR higher-quality brands for you to do at home. For example St. Tropez and Loving Tan are amazing!

    I've used it before and had good results. I also have fair skin and purchased the fair to medium color. I just used a tiny amount and figured I could add more to get more color.

    I've had good luck. Wash your hands well after application. Go slow and be willing to build the color over a week or so. The wet skin one seems to help with even application.

    I <3 that stuff! I'm of medium skin tone and I get the dark/tan one and in 2 days, I've been using it for years and I've never experienced it rubbing off my clothes or anything (you do have to wait a bit before putting clothes on). I see some color already. I do suggest exfoliating before application.

    Please please let a professional spray you. You don't want spots for your wedding

    In summer, I use a bit of it mixed with my regular body cream. The effect is really subtle that way. I'm fair skinned too.

    I use St. Tropez gradual tan. I am pretty fair but use the medium/dark and it looks really natural, nice and golden - not orange at all. It's pricey but I feel it's worth it. My skin is pretty dry and sensitive but it doesn't give me any trouble.

    I've used it before (the fair to medium skin) but it always looked funny around the elbows, knees, hands, and ankles

    I've been using it the past few weeks in preparation for my wedding. I have medium skin tone and I'm using the medium/dark one that you put on right when you get in the shower (while your skin is still wet, pat dry and go). I can definitely see a difference. I don't get colored palms and it doesn't come off on the towel/clothes. I also bought the separate face jergens lotion.

    I am fair as well, I love using Banana Boat Self-tanner in Deep/Dark color. It is affordable and streak free! I put it on at night after I shower, let it dry for 20 min and then go to bed. Just wash your hands as you apply it!!! For example, I rub it on one leg, then I was my hands before starting the next leg! Keeps from getting my palms a dark color.

    In my opinion anything Jergens smells awful, especially the tanning lotions. And they rub off easily, too. I would try something else. I have tried Banana Boat and liked that better. I hope this helps.

    It works really well for my mom and looks great, but on me some parts turned more orange than others despite exfoliation, etc.

    My mom used it to help even the skin tone on her hands after having bad poison ivy one summer and tanning from being outside. It blistered and scared leaving pale patches. It really helped her.

    I've used it several times and it always turns me orange after a few days. I love St. Moriz tanning mousse from Ulta. It's the same quality as St. Tropez but a lot cheaper. By far the most natural looking tanning product I've used.

    Saw a few YouTube videos on it...the videos I watched gave it good reviews.

    I've tried it but it gets orange and streaky. I'm going to try a light spray tan. (And a trial!)

    I used to use that stuff back in high school. It worked well for my face but that was it. When I'd put it on my body - especially my chest I could smell it all day and it wasn't a good smell. Waste of money, imo. I'd recommend doing a spray tan

    I'm very fair with golden undertones. Jergens (and many other tanners) turns me orange.

    You could always give it a try now. If you have bad results it will have plenty of time to fade.
