The winter months can take a toll on anybody’s skin leaving it feeling dry and stripping it of that natural glow you worked so hard on during the summer months prior. However, I refuse to stick myself in a tanning bed and risk all of those nasty side effects we’ve all heard about. So when Jergens approached me to try out their Natural Glow moisturizer I was definitely ready to say goodbye to my ultra white skin tone and hello to the glow!
The one thing that always freaked me out about applying any type of sunless tanner is looking like an Oompa Loompa and turning bright orange. I mean, I’m already 5ft so you can see where that Willy Wonka reference would come into play pretty quick! So what I loved about using Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer was that it’s a progressive treatment. You don’t just slather it on and you’re 10 shades darker, it takes about five days to build up your tan and control the shade you want to be.
I substituted it for my regular lotion and noticed right away how hydrating it was. I would apply it after getting out of the shower and after a couple days noticed my skin had a little shimmer to it. It wasn’t until about day 3 that I could really notice the difference. I even looked at before photos which was kind of shocking.
Applying the moisturizer is just like applying any other body lotion, just make sure you rub it in thoroughly and let it dry for a minute before putting your clothes on. Try and avoid applying too heavily around your knees and wrists and make sure to wash your hands after ever use. Other than that you’re good to go!
