Tan Towel Self-Tan Towelettes are praised by reviewers for their convenience factor. Packaged in individual packets, Tan Towel is very portable and easy to apply, but professional reviewers say they are better suited to occasional touch-ups or for evening out missed spots from another self tanner. That's because it's hard to control the amount of tanning solution applied with a wipe, making it easy to apply more solution in one spot than another. Some users say the wipes also have a tendency to cause streaking, but others say this is remedied by applying the tanner in a circular motion. If you need something for your entire body, reviewers recommend Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer (*Est. $9 for 7.5 oz.). Tan Towel is available in two shades: classic, for fair to medium skin tones; and plus, for medium to dark skin tones.
