There are no guessing games with this self-tanner. Jergens promises skin will be one full shade darker after applying the product for three days. It creates a natural-looking radiance without the typical self-tanner smell. The formula comes in fair to medium tones and medium to tan tones to get the most natural finish.
There's definitely such a thing as too much color when it comes to a fake tan. Product overload can leave skin looking as orange as, well, an orange. That won't happen with this gradual tan moisturizer. It's a hydrating everyday body moisturizer that comes with the added bonus of imparting a hint of golden color.
Whether you're naturally pale, very pale or have a deeper complexion, this gradual tan lotion will work. The nourishing formula goes on clear without any unpleasant odor and absorbs into skin without leaving behind any greasy residue. The imperceptible formula means there's no need to worry about clothes getting stained. In four to eight hours, the formula will develop into an even sun-kissed tan.
Fake tan newbies will feel comfortable with this streak-resistant formula. It's a body lotion and gradual self-tanner in one so it provides ample hydration and just the right amount of color. Those on the paler side will like this version for lighter skin tones. It slowly builds a honey shade within five days without an orange undertone. It glides on smoothly and genuinely has a pleasant scent thanks to grapeseed oil and ginkgo extract.
Choosing the right self-tanner for faces is critical because there's really no way to conceal an orange, streaky finish. This sun booster is a splurge, but it's not like any other fake tan on the market. Rather than staining skin, it works below the surface to build a natural tan by synthesizing melanin. The process takes about 21 days to work so the color will naturally build up. Because it's a serum, it also provides ample hydration.
