Self Tanning Lotions? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I always go to a tanning salon every summer. I would like to save money and only use a self tanner. Is there any good lotions out that would not make me look orange?

Jamaica me tan is great. It was recommended to me on this site. You need to order it and can look it up online...I don't think I can give you the exact address due to the rules of the boards but do a google search. It's actually an airbrush tanning system...but you can buy the solution and use a spray bottle to put it on. It really is great. Read some of the previous posts about it. Hope this helps!

I just bought neutragena's build a tan and it looks great. It is so natural looking and no streaks at all.

My absolute favorite is Coppertone Effortless (also called Oil Free). It is a little hard to find but I did buy some last year at Walmart. I use medium for my face and dark for the rest of my body. It gives me really nice, natural looking color and also fades out nicely over about 5 days.

I have tried alot of self-tanners and my absolute favorite is the Clinique Mousse. It doesn't streak or smell bad. I just keep rubbing it in till it's dry, which doesn't take very long. I haven't had a problem with it staining my clothes and it's not a bad price either. I think it was about $12. I've gotten several applications out of it and still have alot left. It gives you a nice color too, that lasts awhile and fades gradually. Let me know if you try it and what you think. Good luck!
