| I wanna know what self tanners you all use! I'm pretty pale and get a good glow/light tan in the summer and tonsss of freckles but I like to enhance it some and started wearing tanning lotion now for a concert I have in May. It may sound dumb, but I don't get to dress up and it's nice to finally dress up so I wanna look hot goin out with my man. Lol. AND it's Brantley Gilbert. You never know if he'd come down into the audience and decide to take me home. JKIN, hahaha. I've used Loreal sublime and that's about the best thing I like but I bought the spray kind this time and I'm lookin a little splotchy. I'm slowly evening it out and I'm not gonna stop using it because I don't like to waste. Spray tans are nice too but I don't have time or the money to do that continuously. But so I know what do buy next time, what do you all use? |

| I've used Jergins and liked the results. I saw that bare minerals has a self tanner..thought about trying that. I am really fair skinned. |

| Thank you! Jergens is good but it's not my favorite. But actually I forgot that my sister did use the Bare Minerals tanning lotion and she said it's really good but I'm thinking it's expensive! |

| Oh yes I need help with this too!!!! I'm pretty fair skinned and always struggle with the streaky tan from self tanners or the awful smell! I've used Jergins but I'm not in love. |

Location: PNW | I use Brazilliant - you can buy it at Sephora. It smells like watermelon and fruit - NOT like whatever horrible thing tanners normally smell like. Lol |

| Yes, the smell is such a problem and Jergens smells kinda bad. About how much is Braziliant?? |

| Sun Labs Tan Overnight is awesome, can get off Amazon.
Flawless Fake Bake Tannning is also awesome, from Amazon.
Flawless comes with a mit, which is SUPER IMPORTANT WHEN SELF TANNING. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS.... Can not stress that enough..... Also, important to exfoliate extremely well and shave 24 hours before you apply tanner. Do not shave and exfoliate then apply lotion as it will settle into your pores.
I have heard great things about the Bare Minerals self tanner, but it is pricey. |

It's on the pricy side, but a little goes a LONG ways. I forget exactly what it cost. |

| By far my favorite one is sally hansen airbrush sexy legs (something like that) but i use it all over!!! Has shimmer in it and really smooths out any imperfections and makes your skin glow! Doesnt stink which is a huge bonus, no point of looking good and stinking right?? LOL |

| Right! Lol. My sister's friend said something about using Sally Hansen spray and spraying it all over and I was confused because I couldn't find anything but the leg spray but duh, I guess you could use it all over!! I'll have to look into that too!! |

This is the best sunless tanner you will find. No streaks, no orange, no nasty smell. |

| The best I've ever used was some sort of wipe on towel that came in little orange packets and was recommended on here by a BB...maybe SG?? It made a perfectly even nice fake tan and wasn't expensive at all. I can't remember the name of it.......

| Thanks for the suggestions! And those are tan towels! My grandma has them and they do work really good actually! I just can't remember if it lasts just when you wear it and take a shower or if it lasts for a few days? |

| Has anyone tried that Tan Physics or whatever it's called? I see the ads all over facebook but don't know if it's crappy or not? |

| Wow! That's not too bad for Sephora though! Let us know how it works! Sephora is so much fun but pricey. Love trying on eyeshadows in there but you can end up looking like a drag queen or broke when you walk out  |

| Fake Bake and St. Tropez are the best. We sell tons of Fake Bake at the salon.. Doesn't leave you streaky or orange. |

Location: between here and there | I've used the Tan Towels for quite awhile now and really like them. Not a dark fake looking tan, but works with your skin tone and looks natural. Wipes on in minutes and takes about 3 hrs. to fully process. Lasts a couple days but I just apply every other day and it's fine. Won't stain your closes and NO streaking ever.

Location: So. Cali. | I used the Neutrogena Sublime Bronze last year before a bachlorette party in Vegas. Start a few days ahead applying it, I also mix it in my hand with lotion to help spread it out a little easier and chance of less lines. It does have a smell and a bit of a glitter finish to it. Haha. But will defiantly be using it again this summer
