Thread: Jergens Natural Glow Express

it leaves you streaky. It is just a self tanner.

I use the moisturizers with the subtle tanners. Those products seem to work very well with no streaking or odd coloring.

I have them and I use them every so often in the winter when I am tanning.
Because I forget to tan alot. LOL
And if you spread it out evenly it leaves a nice tanning color.

Here is some advice, I use this product and others like it.
BEFORE you apply, EXFOILATE your elbows, knees, any "rough" spots.
Have a clean body.
Be compeletly dry.
Try and try to cover all parts of your body as best you can, or you will get streaks, but this OK, you can over it the next time you apply.
It won't be dramatic.
I always finish off by going over my full body again, lightly.
Do your face up to your hairline, pay attention to this, I always have my hair either damp or tied back.
Do your EARS!
And behind them if you wear your hair tied back or up!
Take your time is the best advise as well.
Then I wash my hands, otherwise you will have orange colored hands.
Make sure to soap and wash in between your fingers!
I use a hair dryer to dry myself off, and I admit, I do feel abit "sticky", but if you out on your clothes you may find you have gotten the color on you clothes, specially WHITE clothing, I can remember my Nana forgetting to rub her foundation in some of it wound up on her collar..LOL!
I also tan once a week, so it evens it all out.
Hope this helps!

I used the regular Jergens not the express and I was not impressed. I am VERY light skinned and it got WAYY to dark way to fast it definatly was not subtle and I followed the directions exactly because I wanted it to turn out right. I guess it depends on your skin though. Its just like everything else, works on some people and others it don't.

For me fair skinned...it works and so do the generics, like Target brand, it is alll in how you do it, and taking the time to do it..it works, they all do and they all have "colors" to pick from from LIGHT/FAIR and so on...OH yeah, wash up your hands before your drying time..so I wash and then use the hair dryer..and I don't use the hair dryer on my hands...ever...only the tops, after the washing.

Further, if it is not for you, you can always write JERGENS and get a refund, no pictures asked..I did that as I thought I was "medium", but that was way weird Halloween...they were super cool and sent me a coupon for free for a lighter shade....so it can work and if you and happy, let them know.
I had been tanning but never became a MEDIUM SHADE by thier standards...even with a once a week tanning..so have fun with it..it has been my motto forever..I take a RISK here.."MY FAT LOOKS BETTER TAN"..I am small, but you get the idea.
