Hi Mamas,
I won't ever do the tanning beds, had a sister get melanoma cancer and that's all I needed to hear to keep me out of those things. (She's cancer free and doing great) Anyhow, I can't afford the pricey spray tans that salons offer, or really have the time. I'm currently pregnant with #4 and stay home full time to care for my ohter 3. I'm always tired and feel crappy (since becoming pregnant) so I'm just trying to find something I can apply myself at home.
I really liked this Neutrogena brand a friend of mine gave me but when it ran out, I couldn't find anymore at the store, the one I did find doesn't work as good as the first one I used. I've also done Coppertone and the Bath & Body works brand. B&Body works was OK but still streaky. Can anyone recommend a great self tanning lotion that won't cost me a fortune or a trip to the mall?? I know I might have to shop the malls for a good one but I'm "hoping" I can find one that's at a local grocery store, Target or Walmart, all stores which I shop frequently. Thanks for your help!!
Try Nuetrogena selftanner foam. Its really good and very very hard to mess up!
I was very happy with Jergen's... saw it on a segment on E before a red carpet event so I tried it, works well and you can get it at Walgreen's.
I like Jergen's and Dove's self tanning lotions. They both work great and don't smell too bad. You can get some serious color with them. :) If you do end up going to the mall though, Bobbi Brown has a GREAT self tanning lotion that's not streaky at all and doesn't smell whatsoever!
I love Tan Towels. I get them at Macy's and they go on easy with a wipe and look very natural! You can also order them online.
I love Guinot Paris. It says for face, but I used it over my entire body as was recommended by my salon. One small bottle lasted biweekly all summer.

My daughter and I use Clinique. It works well, does not stink like some of the others.
We have also had good experience with the gradual tanners by Dove and Jergens.
