I Found A Great Tanning Lotion - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I started with Jergen's, and it smelled absolutely disgusting. Then I moved onto Olay Quench Radiance or something, and that smelled a little better than Jergen's, but with a very temporary color. Then I made the mistake of buying Dove Energy Glow moisturizer and it gave a dark tan right off, but I looked orange, it wouldn't even come off when using a shower brush, and it made me break out badly. Then I tried sublime glow, which has a different (bad) smell than any others, and barely gave a noticeable tan.

Now I found Queen Helene Cocoa Glow which actually smells nice, like chocolate or something, and gives a great BROWN tan, absolutely no orange. I can't believe I'm not orange. My bf has been inspecting me after all these tries and this time he couldn't tell it was fake. And he thought it smelled fine, not like the others where he didn't even want to kiss my skin!

I had no idea Queen Helene made a tanning lotion! That's great! I love Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask, so I'd be willing to give it a try. Are you naturally fair skinned?

I'm gonna try this too! Is this one of those natural lotions that tan gradually or is it a regular self tanner? Also, is it tinted or rub off on white clothes?

Never heard of queen helene lotions, I use a malibu hemp lotion with bronze.

For the tanning bed i use swedish beauty simply divine with sizzle effect.. 15 min's in the bed leave a nice tan.

Is it a gradual daily moisturizing tanner like Jergens or is it a full sunless tanner?
