Hi everyone!
I am very fair, therefore, any time out in the sun really doesn't do me any good!
So, I am looking for a really good sunless tanner to use to help give myself a little bit of color.
Please pass on any suggestions for products you have used that you've been happy with...thanks for your help!!!

What can I do next?

Learned from this site last year - Jergen's! I also am very fair skinned and this builds up nicely. I did use lotion on my elbows, heels and knees first, as they are very dry. Then Jergen's Glow. I truly appreciate that it makes my neck look like I've been enjoying the sun!
It's on sale at CVS this week .

I'm a redhead with very fair skin, too. I've tried many, many products. My big tip is to stay clear of any product called a Bronzer. You'll end up with bright orange streaks. They're very unforgiving on fair skin.

The best ones I've found are the Jergen's Natural Glow and a similar product from Nivea (can't recall the name off-hand). Aim for slow build up of color, not anything promising quick results.

Good luck!

You really need to try several to get the right color for your skintone. Jergens looks bad on me b/c it gives me a yellowish cast. I have had good luck with Loreal Sublime Glow. I am currently looking for the Bain De Soleil one-it is amazing..I used to use it and then they took it to online order only. I hear it is now in Walgreens so hopefully I can try it again. St. Tropez is considered one of the very best out there. You can get it online at Sephora. Very pricey though. I have heard people rave about Clarins as well but it is also pricey. Another good DS one to try is Banana Boat.

I really like the Jergens Glow lotion ... it does actually give you a tint of color ... it does go away after you shower but it is nice to add just a touch of color w/out going orange or actually tanning. I have fair skin with red undertones and lots of freckles and it evens it out and makes it look smoother all over. I tend to Shower, dry my body, then use it all over right away ... walk around nude for a while (5-10 min) with my hair in a towel then wash my palms my palms soak in lotion, love the suff perosonally, I even use a touch on my face as well ... I use less product on my face at the end of the day.

Oh and when you go out at night I love to add a touch of shimmering body powder on my chest/clevage with a touch of bronzer to highlight ... the turn out is great!

I also love jergens! I use it every year around this time because 10 minutes out in the sun and I am burnt.

neutrogena micro mist spray. No orange, no streaking and dries in less than 5 min, it's amazing.

My friend used Jergens sunless tanning product and it worked for her.
Didn't work as well on me but I wasn't as religious as she was in applying it....she applied it religiously every single day. Need about 10 mins for it to dry before picking up baby (ugh) and before putting clothes back on.
