Being as pale as I am, tanning can be a trying pastime. Between choosing the wrong color and the usual awful self-tanner smell, I rather get my teeth pulled (I might be embellishing on that comparison). But Jergens, however, has changed the rules of the self-tanning game.

Jergens Natural Glow +Protect Daily Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 20 ($8.69) gives you exactly that: a natural glow. My skintone doesn’t tan easily, and most self-tanners have to be layered for me to get a good shade. Natural Glow in Medium to Tan gave me a gorgeously tanned color.

Before

After

I only put it on once, and I was amazed at the beautiful, natural looking shade that was left behind. This product is very easy-to-use. No need to go overboard exfoliating yourself raw — this product glided over my skin and dried rather fast; I was able to get dressed within minutes and it didn’t stain my clothes!

Another great point to this product: No nasty self-tanning odor! It had a pleasant smell — Jergens has reformulated this product with breakthrough odor-reducing technology. The nasty scent occurs when the product reacts with skin. Jergens has taken seven years to create a solution to that problem before it reaches your nose! It’s also formulated with odor-absorbing materials to further reduce the smell associated with self-tanners.

I highly recommend this product. I may not be an Italian-tanned goddess from the Mediterranean, but Jergens Natural Glow sure makes me feel like one!!
