Natural Glow +Firming Self Tanner Lotion Fair to Medium, 7.5 oz

Every year around this time I have the same realization. It goes something like: “Wow, I am glowing… like printer paper.” I’m naturally pretty fair, and since I work from home and edit videos like a little cave goblin most days, the sun and I are not exactly best friends. I wanted a tiny bit of color without committing to a full self-tan ritual that involves mitts, exfoliating schedules, and praying I don’t look like a streaky pumpkin. Enter this Jergens Natural Glow +Firming lotion. I grabbed it because I wanted something lazy-girl simple. Like… slap it on after a shower and go live my life simple. And honestly? That’s exactly what this is. The first night I used it, I treated it like regular lotion. No ceremony. Just rubbed it in while watching YouTube and went to bed. No weird sticky feeling, no “don’t sit on anything white for 6 hours” panic. It dries like a normal moisturizer, which already puts it ahead of a lot of self tanners I’ve tried. By day two or three, I started noticing that “wait… did I go outside?” glow. Nothing dramatic. No fake tan line energy. Just a soft, believable warmth to my skin like I’d been on a weekend walk instead of glued to my desk chair. It builds slowly, which I actually prefer. You’re not waking up shocked at a new shade of yourself. It’s more like your skin quietly levels up overnight. The lotion itself feels nice too. Not greasy, not heavy. Just a solid everyday moisturizer. My legs especially felt smoother and less dry, which is a win even without the tan. Now about the “firming/cellulite” claims. I’m realistic. No lotion is out here performing wizardry. But I will say my skin looks a little smoother and more even overall. Maybe it’s the hydration, maybe it’s the subtle color helping blur things out. Either way, I’ll take it. The scent is light and clean. Not that classic self-tanner smell that sneaks up on you halfway through the day. Nobody at the grocery store is going to clock you as “recently marinated.” If there’s any catch, it’s just that you have to be consistent. Skip a few days and the glow slowly fades. But that’s kind of the point with a gradual tanner. For around $10, it’s honestly such an easy, low-effort way to look a little more alive and a little less “indoor plant.” Final thoughts: If you want a deep vacation tan, this isn’t it. But if you want a subtle, healthy glow with zero drama and the bonus of good hydration, this stuff is a staple. It’s basically my “fake I go outside” lotion, and I mean that in the best way possible.

As you can see in the before, and after photos, I am super porcelain. This lotion just gives you a light nice color with a glow without turning you orange. so you get the benefit of great lotion and a nice subtle glow. I can't tan and absolutely love how it feels and looks.

I purchased this Jergens Natural Glow + Firming lotion to add a little color to my skin while keeping it moisturized. As a daily lotion, it works well and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. The gradual color develops naturally and doesn't look overly orange on my fair-to-medium skin tone. While I was happy with the moisturizing benefits and subtle glow, I didn’t notice much in terms of skin-tightening or any visible “firming” effect. The lotion performed well as a moisturizer and self-tanner, but that specific benefit wasn’t noticeable for me. Pros: Moisturizes well Gradual, natural-looking color Easy to apply No harsh self-tanner look Cons: No noticeable skin-tightening effect Takes several applications to build color Overall, this is a good daily lotion that provides a natural-looking glow and keeps skin hydrated. I would purchase it again for the moisturizing and tanning benefits, but not for the added skin-tightening claim.

Takes about 2 applications to get a noticeable tan. Smells heavenly. I was so worried my tan would look orange, but it looks incredibly natural. This is perfect for beginners like me who are new to tanning

This tanning lotion is surprisingly good quality for less money. I have fair skin and had almost no issues with streaking or discoloration. The only problem area was on my ankle bone, but should have exfoliated that a bit first. I applied a small amount of my regular lotion before applying this, and it worked great. Went 3-4 days between applications and color seemed to maintain. Not a dark tan, but a nice, subtle color that takes the sting out of very fair skin in the sun.

It.works ok. Still leaves an orange tint, especially near my ankles. I am very pale though, so it could be my skin tone reacting to it. I have a friend that is not as pale as me and she always looks great and natural with it.

I have never had much luck with these self tanning products but several people recommended that I try Jergens. It gives just enough healthy tan for me and does not look orange, etc. I am old so some of my age spots on my legs show more but that is ok, Smells pleasant and when I wash my hands after applying, no staining at all. I will continue buying this product.

I needed a tan quick (like in 3 days) because of an off-the-shoulder shirt I planned to wear to the Celtic Festival. With my work schedule, there was no time to sit in the sun, so I purchased this product. Fortunately, it arrived the morning before the event, so I had exactly 1.5 days to get a tan. I scrambled to put it on immediately upon opening the box (I should have read the online advice for applying sunless tanning products, I would have known to exfoliate my skin prior ... but it worked fine without all that hassle). I put on rubber gloves, because I was worried about it absorbing into my hands too much (probably a senseless fear). I proceeded to lather my body up with the lotion, which felt creamy and hydrating. There didn't seem to be much scent to it, so I was hopeful all the "stinky" hype was just that, hype. Then, I had to walk around the house naked until the lotion dried ... about 15 minutes. It was still a little tacky and I was worried about it damaging my clothes or causing streaks, but it worked out fine. If you don't mind being a nudist, this product is definitely for YOU. I felt weird walking around, unable to sit while this product dried. But knowing I was on a time limit for a tan helped motivate me. Within about 2-3 hours I already noticed some color change. It looked very natural, a light light tan. So I was hopeful. For 6-10 hours, I made sure NOT TO GET WET anywhere on my body (with the exception of my hands, because who can go 6-10 hours without washing their hands??!!). That is what I read online about sunless tanners (which I read after I applied, oops). Anyway, it takes 6-10 hours for the product to begin the chemical changes with your dead skin cells to create the tan-like appearance of your skin. If you bathe or wash the lotioned parts off before 6-10 hours, you will stop the chemical change from happening and not get tan. The smell was starting to be obvious within about 5-6 hours after applying. So obviously the chemical change was happening as expected. I didn't like that smell. It smelled like a fake body odor. Like someone rubbed a bunch of sweat all over my body and let it dry. Nope, not something I'd want to smell all the time, but I dealt with it, I was on a tan-deadline. I used the product again that evening, again, because I was on a deadline. Then went to bed after prancing around naked another 10-15 minutes (which hubby didn't mind), but the not being able to sit down part was difficult. If I sat, the lotion would rub off my legs, so I stood and hid in the shadows as much as possible. Finally, I was dry and dressed. Since I slept for about 8 hours, I was able to shower in the morning, YAY! Washed off that stench. Then, the day of the festival, I looked radiant in my off-the-shoulder shirt. LOVED the results, just not the process. So, I will use this product again, but not on a regular basis. It works. And the light tan lasted about 5 days before wearing off.

Fresh piece n value money

Ich habe dieses Produkt in Colorado Springs zum ersten mal kennen gelernt und war da schon ganz begeistert. Eine Bräunungscreme die nicht fleckig wird und ganz toll riecht. Als ich wieder in Deutschland war, habe ich sofort im Internet nachgeschaut, ob ich die Möglichkeit habe, diese Bräunungscreme auch hier zu bekommen. Meine Überraschung und Freude war riesig als ich fündig wurde und sah, ich kann diese Creme auch in Deutschland bekommen. Meine Begeisterung ist grenzenlos.

L'effet raffermissant ne m'intéressait pas, donc je ne pourrai pas m'exprimer dessus, mais l'effet hâlé est vraiment chouette, l'application est très simple et ce produit sent vraiment bon, et est très hydratant.

Supergoede zelfbruiner, het is niet in één keer, maar geleidelijk dat je een kleurtje krijgt, al zie je wel al resultaat na een paar keer, het smeert heel goed open, en hydrateert je huid ook, en vooral het is niet plakkerig!

I liked the tanning effect, regarding firming perhaps I didn’t use it consistently enough to have results. The only thing that I didn’t like was the smell after a couple of hours. Due to this reason I will not be buying it again.
