Is there a body lotion out there that will slowly tan you?

Question

I don't want to use a sunless tanner but something more gradual. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I saw a commercial for tanning body lotion or something.

My goodness! Thank you for all the great suggestions! I ended up buying the "Dove" so we'll see what happens. I chose the best answer based on whoever suggested Dove first. I wish I could have given everybody 10 points!

Answer 1

Yes. Dove and jergens do it and oil of olay touch of sun, in the lotion aisle. I bought the Dove one. But quickly went back to the tanner because Dove is required to be used every night and #1 you need help reaching the back and lower arms and hands so it dosent streak off when you wash your hands. Also, you cant get dressed until your dry, takes a while. Too much for a nightly thing. Some people just do face and legs but what about when your naked? One day that tan is going to finally be there and your going to look very uneven. Your choice.

Answer 2

Yep you sure did. Many brands have them now. You can go to your local drug store and find a variety. Having a hard time know which one is best? Jerkins -sp? has some that is good and Walgreen's and wal-mart brands work just as well for a bit smaller price. just be careful that you get the right level. I believe there is two, maybe three, but if you are very light skinned you need to go for the light one first then work up to the darker bottles. they work as a lotion and a mild self tanner. they work pretty well if you are going for a subtle glow and you can work your way up to a little darker. read the instructions and remember to wash the palm of your hands. i recommend a baby wipe so you dont have water streaks. just wiping your palms with a wipe should suffice. also they have some lotions that have a "glistening" or "luminating" in the lotion that will make you appear tanner every time you use it i love the stuff. hope this helps

I really like Malibu Hemp Golden Glow. I used the Jergens stuff for awhile but it didn't work very well. If you do use any of these lotions wash your hands very well because in between your fingers will turn orange. Also I wouldn't use it on really dry skin. It turns it a funny color!

Answer 4

I use Jergen's natural glow. After 3 days I looked much tanner and people were asking me if I went tanning. =D After a week, you get really tan. It works great.

Answer 5

there are many different lotions that came out last summer i think dove and jergens had some that gradually puts some color into the skin and stll keeps it looking healthy

Answer 6

Johnson's holiday lotion is brilliant I'm using it at the moment and it doesn't give me the orange or streaky look. Builds it up gradually so you can have the tan colour you want and i think it was quite cheap.

Answer 7

It's Called Dove Summer Glow. Here's a site on it:

after a while it slowly tans (after every use). Just make sure you wash your hands after using it otherwise they might become too dark/tan.

Answer 8

There is Jergen Self Bronzer >>> and at Bath and Bodyworks, there is a whole bunch that are out during the summer seasons.

Answer 9

yea, there are so many lotions that have a little bit of sunless tanner in them. Try jergons or oil of olay, those are only examples...

Answer 10

Jergens, L'Oreal, Neutra-gena and several department store brands should do the trick. Keep in mind that they do not supply much if any sun-protection so please use a sun-block as well. Kudos to you for not baking in the sun. Remember to exfoliate your skin first to get the bast results!
