RE: RE: Jergens Natural Glow

LA Gal · Kenneth Cole

Lilykid - I haven't tried Target, but I might stop by there this weekend. The 2 drugstores I went to (the Long's and Sav-on on Wilshire in Brentwood) both had the Olay version (the tanner and non-tanning ones) but both were out of the Jergen's one. I was so excited about the Jergens one that I hesitated trying the Olay version.

I just ordered the Jergens one in Fair online:

I am fair, but I bought the one for medium skin, because my boyfriend's mom, who is fair as well, told me the fair did nothing for her and the medium was very natural looking. I just bought it at Walgreens today. I'm going to apply it tonight.

To those of you who have used it, do you just slather it all over your whole body? Or only certain parts? I know w/normal self-tanners, if you don't use it all over, you look weird. But since this is just like moisterizer, can I just put it on like a normal moisterizer?

LA Gal--that is so close to where I work! I usually go to the Ralph's on Wilshire.

shopchicago, I do slather it on everywhere. I use the fair, which definitely gave me color after 2 or 3 applications. I think that's the beauty of it--it only gives you a little color every day, so it doesn't look weird and streaky like normal self-tanner.

I will say that my back, torso, and arms all continue to look great, but my legs started to look orange and streaky. Has anyone else had this problem?

member · Hermes

I got the medium shade and I love it. I have only used it twice so far, and I love it. It's so natural and no streaking at all!

Karina · Chanel

Nope--it says nothing about preggos!

one more question: how long does it take to dry? i am super-paranoid about going to sleep with regular self-tanner on, because i am fearful that it's gonig to stain my bedding.

That's what I love about this stuff - I wait maybe 5 mins before I put my clothes back on, but it's a lotion, so it's not wet like self-tanner, just feels like lotion. Anyhow, I wore a white shirt after putting it on and it didn't stain anything. Nothing on my sheets from last night either.

i did try at drugstore.com because i placed an order there on sunday and they didn't carry it. i could look elsewhere, but i really just wanted to pick it up in a B&M store for some reason... i can't believe it is sold out like it is!

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I went to my cvs and they were out, but they gave me a rain check and ordered more for me. I just asked if they had anymore and then told her that everyone said it was the best thing out there, so she ordered me more. I am going to get it in a few. So you might try asking them to order more vs. paying shipping online.

twinkle · Coach

LA girls, I found it over the weekend at the Rite Aid on Wilshire b/t Fairfax & La Brea... they had about 10 bottles.

LA Gal · Kenneth Cole

Thanks Mara! I might stop at that one on my way home from work tonight. I neeeeed to have it!

member · Hermes

Maybe I am just being paranoid, but how long do you guys leave this stuff on before you shower? I'm wondering if I am showering too soon? I put it on at night before bed, and when I get up the next morning I shower. I feel like I look really tan before I go in the shower and not as dark when I come out. Am I showering too soon? Anyone else had this happen?

Now that I have been using it for a few weeks I have noticed that my elbows get alot darker and a little orange if I haven't put regular lotion on my them first. So far that is really my only complaint.
