I have been kind of pale lately. Has anyone ever tried those self-tanning creams? You put it on your face once a day, and a few days later you are "supposed" to have a natural looking tan. Would you give them a thumbs up, or thumbs down? I do NOT want to look like a pumpkin... orange is not my colour!

I have used a Jergen's product. I believe it was called a body lotion. It had a very mild tanning effect and when I used it on my arms and face like a regular lotion daily I could see a soft tan beginning to bloom. It was attractive, not harsh. I liked it. It even had a pleasant fragrance!
For my body I use the Vaseline product, it's great. For my face I use the Jergen's. I use both during the summer and slapped some on the day before Christmas eve so that I didn't look like a snowlady with my dress on! I find that the Vaseline sinks in quicky, doesn't give off that weird smell and works REALLY well for natural color.
i use it sometimes but so it goes on more evenly , I mix a little moisture lotion with it...mix well in your hands -- remember to wash you hands WELL after use so your palms don't tan too !
I add a small amount of moisturiser to a bronzing cream, this works until you next shower. The best tanning system I have used is Tan Towel, it is like a baby wipe and you wipe it over the areas you want tanned.
I can't tan, only burn. I've used the Nutrgena self tanning for years. It doesn't look orange and takes the red out of my face year round.
I use the Jergens product on my legs. Makes 'em less ghostly. Do not put on knees and ankles where it will become concentrated in the wrinkles.
Last summer I used Jergens for my face and Vaseline for my body like one other person mentioned. I got complements from coworkers on my nice tan but my husband thought I looked orange in some places, like on my neck. I think dead skin cells absorb more of the color and can make you look orange. I just had to learn to scrub everywhere evenly with a wash cloth when I showered and I stopped putting the tanner on my neck because it didn't seem to blend evenly. So I guess I had mixed results but I prefer that to a real tan to avoid sun damage to my skin.
Hey there girl from dwn undr,
Thanks 4 the advice, but what is a bronzing cream? Like a foundation, or like a blush? Can we find that product here in north or south America? I can't spend many "buckies", lol, so I hope it won't co$t me an arm and a leg.
P.S. Aussie chick, is there a way that I can send you an e-mail? Here's mine: mikeys7841 AT aol.com
Thumbs down! My daughter tried it and her face looked mottled and horrible! the natural look is best!
