I noticed that a ton of the people here have gorgeous tans, if you use any tanning products, what do you use?
I need something that's good for beginners, preferably a mousse if any of you use those? :D

    Jergens natural glow. apply with gloves to keep fr yellowing fingers. I mix jergens with actual tanning.

    I bet if I tried it, it would wash away in the pool during my morning swim hour. Or I would end up tan on the back, pale in front (I freestyle)

    Honestly St Moriz is amazing. You can get it off of amazon and its cheap as well. It goes dark when you put it on so you can immediately tell if you've missed a spot. I've used so many tanning lotions, sprays, and gradual tanners over the years and I won't go back to any of them. I had been using fake bake which is really good but it's not better than St. Moriz AND I can get 8 bottles of St. Moriz for one bottle of fake bake. Both last me a month if I tan 2x per week. I like the spray. Use latex type gloves and a tanning mitt to rub the tan in.

    Edited for typos and to add that they make a mousse but the spray is a lot better. I switched recently from mousse to spray and the difference is amazing!

    Don't use whatever this guy used. Other than that, I have nothing.

    I don't remember the brand, I think aveeno, that's a good one.

    Just whatever you use, make sure you put it on evenly and rub it in all the way, don't get dressed until it's dry or it can stain your clothes too. And wash your hands... at least your palms.

    Jergens is good, make sure you apply it evenly ... don't get dressed right away. Just let it be for like half an hour before you try to get dressed or wash it off or whatever you plan to do next.

    I love Jergens natural glow express but I think they have discontinued it cause I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions will be noted by me too! I can't use the ones that are lotions with built in tanners. They just get streaky on me no matter how hard I try to get it rubbed in. Jergens I use daily and it looks great. I use the light to medium.

    I don't use self tanner often but when I do I use Banana Boat Summer Color. It's easy to work into the skin and the color is great.
