REVIEW: JERGENS NATURAL GLOW EXPRESS - Self-Tanning Drugstore Style

jergens® natural glow express

Touted as a self-tanning "beauty breakthrough", I was pretty excited about trying the new Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer. Now, having used it two days in a row, I have to admit I'm pretty impressed.

What's good about it: extremely hydrating to the skin; blends like a high end body butter; noticeable but subtle tanning effect; light, fresh scent; although not intended for the face yields good results there too while not being too overpowering a moisturizer (and I have combo - normal/oily - skin type); does NOT stain clothing or linens; and best of all, extremely reasonably priced at $6.99 - $7.99 a 4 oz bottle.

What's not so good about it: although definitely a more natural looking tanning shade than most other self-tanners, still a tad bit orange-ish on Day 2 of use - other than that, no complaints, is a great moisturizer (decadent even) and nice, speedy self-tanning product.

Found at Walgreens, Walmart and other drugstores

  1. I've been wanting to try a tanner that's also a moisturizer and was looking at the Nivea Sun-Kissed product. I think I'll have to give this a gander as well.

    Great review!

  2. I'm so pleased with the results of this product. The color is subtle, natural, and noticeable after the first day. The smell isn't strong- almost like a light sunscreen with a hint of cocoa butter. I would suggest that after the first 3 days, you only use it once or twice a week (just to keep up the color) or else it becomes tinted orange. I LOVE this product and STRONGLY recommend it. Oh, and don't forget to wash your hands after use!

  3. i loved it the first two days.. then it became a mess and i noticed that it got orangy..
    it just ant appealing..
    maybe if you use it make sure that its the lighter one for your skin..
    ..
    and make sure that you mix in some daily lotion with it.. so the affect isnt so orangy..
    and keep moisterized when using..

  4. it looks good at first but when it starts to fade its all blotchy.. and i wore a sports bra and must have sweat some off because now i have an outline of my bra where the color came off! and it rubs off where your arm bends and it looks like i have some skin disease..
