Reviewers say you can't go too far wrong with Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer. That's because this gradual sunless tanner is applied daily, imparting a gradual, subtle tan that increases with each application and missed spots are less likely and less noticeable. Users at MakeupAlley.com and Drugstore.com say Jergens creates a natural-looking tan and moisturizes well enough to take the place of body lotion. Although all sunless tanners have a distinct odor, reviewers say Jergens Natural Glow is not as strong, because it contains less dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active dying ingredient in tanners. The downside is that you'll have to wait at least three days to notice a difference in the color of your skin, but testers say skin can darken up to two shades after a week of daily use. Jergens Natural Glow is available in two shades: fair/medium and medium/tan. Once you stop applying Jergens Natural Glow, experts say that it will fade within four to six days, much like other sunless tanners. If you prefer instant color, reviewers recommend Clarins Self-Tanning Instant Gel (*Est. $33 for 4.4 oz.).

Editors of Allure magazine list their favorite sunless tanners, including Jergens Natural Glow Daily Revitalizing Moisturizer. It's a favorite because it is moisturizing enough to fill the need for daily lotion and it gives a "hint of color" at the same time.

5. Washingtonian

After testing several sunless tanners, writer Kim Forrest says Jergens Natural Glow is the most affordable and the most natural looking but it involves the most work, because it must be applied daily. Forrest ultimately decides, however, that she doesn't like sunless tanners because they often impart an orange hue.
