Sunless tanners - any suggestions?

   Submitted by Tawnya on May 13, 2008 - 10:12pm.    

Can anyone recommend a good lotion w/ tanner? Last summer I tried the Aveno kind and it was ok, but had a stinky scent. Now I am trying Olay touch of sun and the color is subtle, nice, no streaks, but I feel sticky. I don't want to spend a lot on a department store brand. Maybe they all have a funky smell or feeling? Any ideas?

I tried Jergen's Natural Glow last summer and didn't like it at all...so there is another one that is out. There are a few other posts on here as well about this topic if you want to read those...http://www.siouxfallsmoms.com/sunless_tanning_lotions http://www.siouxfallsmoms.com/tanning

Mary Kay has a new sunless tanning lotion that works just great. If you are interested in trying some just give me a phone call. It's not sticky nor does it have a foul smell to it.

i know everyone is different, but i really think pale skin is beautiful.

at least you're not using a salon though.. i always wonder if having a nice tan now is worth having wrinkly, leathery, potentially cancer-ed skin later.

sorry i know this comment isn't helpful at all!

just saying.

My MIL introduced me to TanTowel! I love it! You can only get it off HSN, QVC, or their website. It is quite expensive but really worth it. You apply it using little towelettes. It's the only thing I use these days.

There is one that walgreens carries that I really like. I dont think I have ever had it streak. It is called Paradise Gold. Here is the link, http://www.walgreens.com/beauty/product.jsp?CATID=100801&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod1769124

This product was recommended to me, I dont use it to often because I completely forget about it, but I do really like it when I do use it.
