Best of Self-Tanners: Part I

I have pale skin, burn easily, but I love to be tan! I used to visit the tanning bed everyday. I hit rock-bottom when I went twice in one day! Now a little older and a little wiser, I’ve switched to self-tanners.

Finding a good self-tanner is a trial-and-error effort. So to help you find one that works for you, here’s what I thought about these self-tanners. I’m using a scale of 5 hearts as the best rating!

Type	Product	Dries Fast	Smells Good	Rating	Comments
Self-Tanning Daily Moisturizer	Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer	X	X	♥♥	Great moisturizer, but I need more tan!
	Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer	X		♥♥	Smells OK putting it on, but after dry, I didn’t like the smell.
	Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer	X	X	♥♥♥♥	BEST OF THIS LIST! A little goes a long way. Dries super fast, and no bad smell!
	Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer	X	X	♥♥♥	Too thick, and need more to cover your body. But I love the super tan results!
	Kroger Summer Glow Daily Lotion	X	X	♥♥	Good moisturizer, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
Self-Tanner	Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Mist Airbrush Color (For All Skin Tones)	X		♥	Dries, but still feels oily. I didn’t care for the scent. Color didn’t appear noticeable enough. You have to spray this outside!
	Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Shimmering Glow (Body)	X	X	♥♥♥	Great shimmer too, but for the price, I thought it’d be stronger!
	L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee		X	♥♥♥	I love the cool feeling of gels like this in the summertime!
	Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion	X	X	♥♥♥	Smells like grapefruit and nectarine and works great! I love this one!
	Toma’s Tan Perfect: A Total Sunless Tan Self-Tanning Lotion (at Sally Beauty Supply)	X		♥♥	It gives an instant deep, dark, brown tan, but it washes off too easily.
	True Blue Spa: Bronze Bombshell “Strike Gold” (at Bath & Body Works)		X	♥	Provides an instant bronze, but too oily and sticky!
	Ulta Tinted Self-Tanning Gel		X	♥	I usually like Ulta brand products, but I wouldn’t buy this one again.

As you can see, I don’t have any 5-heart self-tanners yet, so write me and tell me which self-tanner you think is the best! In the mean time, I’m still on the hunt!
