Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
As a gradual self-tanner, you can build up coverage with this product, making it easy to use and safe for beginners. The Beauty Lab test winner earned top scores for moisturization; testers were pleased with how easy this lotion was to apply, noted the lack of DHA odor and felt the product absorbed quickly into their skin. “I particularly liked how natural the color was,” a tester shared. “It looked like I had a nice tan glow. There was no streaking at all and my skin looked healthy.” However, some felt they did not get a deep enough tan with this product.
St. Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Daily Firming Body Lotion
GH Beauty Lab testers thought this St. Tropez tinted gradual-tanning body lotion worked quickly to deliver their perfect color, ideal for when you’re hitting the beach and need a faux tan fast. Plus, it’s formulated with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. “The slight tint immediately gave a healthy look to my legs and aided in the application to ensure even coverage,” one user reported. “My skin is quite light and it was extremely realistic, just as a sun-developed tan would occur.” To avoid staining your clothes, make sure skin is completely dry before getting dressed — some users said the rich texture took longer to absorb.
