9 Best Self-Tanners
Editor's Rating & Review
After one week of daily use, this squeezable lotion lends skin a tannish "glow" that's so subtle, it really does look natural. Unfortunately, fragrance and "natural botanicals" don't mask the strong smell of the main darkening ingredient (DHA) enough to make me a faithful fan. That said, I've seen this in many a friend's bathroom. The no-sunscreen, slightly shimmery formula applies just like a regular moisturizer and doesn't leave streaks, blotches or clothing stains.

My Go-To Tanner
Multi-tasking products are my favorites, and Jergens lives up to its claims with this moisturizing self-tanner. I don't use it often--generally only in the summer when I want to hide my very white legs and add some tint to my face, neck, arms, and decollete. After trying a variety of other brands, I lived in fear of self-tanners because of the artificial orange glow they left behind; Jergens has...read more dispelled my apprehension. The color is very subtle, and so you can build as much intensity as you want. It is virtually streakless and seeps into skin quickly. Stains on clothing are not a problem. After applying for several days, skin has a smooth feel and a gentle radiance. The price is another attractive feature; a large container is quite reasonable at any drug or discount store.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 18 people said helpful

Pretty Good
It gradually gives a subtle hint of color which I really like. I don't like to go from pale to golden brown in one day with other self tanners. So if you like a little bit of tan without looking like you were sprayed this is a nice one to try.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 16 people said helpful

FANTASTIC
If you want a subtle, buildable tan and apply lotion anyways, this is a great product. Not bad in terms of price, smell and results. No, not superlong lasting results (only a few days), but it doesn't damage your skin like real tanning does, and doesn't empty your wallet like spray tanning/etc do! Super easy to do at home, and hard to mess up. Definitely will buy again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 20 people said helpful
