What's The BEST Self Tanner??? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I am looking for a GOOD self tanner. I am to the point where I don't care about price so long as it doesn't leave me looking like a carrot. I'm sure you all know how frustrating that can be!
I have always heard good things about Estee Lauder self tanner but have never tried it. Also, I've been hearing a lot about this stuff called Fake Bake. I heard them talking about it on the view not too long ago and many celeb's are using it.
Has anyone used any of these products? If not, could you recommend something?
I have tried Neutrogina and it looked orange on me...I used the spray mist stuff. Also, I have tried this stuff from my salon called "coulor". It was better then the neutro. but still had a slight orange glow. It was also in a foam form which I really liked.

I have been using a gradual self tanner by queen helene called cocoa glow. This stuff is GREAT!!! i love it. it really looks natural and not orange at all. I put some on after my bath and it dries quickly and doesnt stain. I had to buy mine online but sometimes u can find it at walgreens or walmart.

Steph - I will look into that! Is it a lotion or foam? Does it wash off easily? About how much do you pay for it?? I will look for it on **** :-) Thanks!

Jergens Natural Glow for sure! The most natural looking self tanner I have ever ever found and I have tried A LOT!

It is a lotion and usually i will have a quick rinse in the morning. I think I paid close to $10. I like it cuz it feels like u r just putting lotion on ur skin. I have tried jergens and i didnt like the way it smelled and it just didnt seem natural on me, i have friends that like it though, just not for me

i have also heard that fakebake is good although i have not tried it
