The Best Self-Tanner That Doesn’t Smell Like a Self-Tanner

There’s something romantic about wearing the same pair of sneakers for sixty days straight. It’s a real commitment. But picking out the right ones that’ll go with every day-to-night outfit combo? It’s one of my biggest life decisions to date.

Space is precious in my teeny tiny 54L backpack, which I will be living out of over the next eight weeks as I trek across Europe. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I’ll be making room to bring a bottle of Jergens^® Natural Glow^® Daily Moisturizer along.

Day three update of my travel-ready transitional skin glow: WOW. I was not expecting such quick results. Sure, it’s subtle (no tiger stripes here!), but there’s definitely a noticeable difference after just two applications. I’m looking especially bronzed across my décolletage and shoulders, which I don’t think have seen sunlight since early September.

In fact, I’m looking SO radiant, that someone asked if I had recently returned from vacation. Obviously, I ran with their assumption. (If anyone asks, my weekend getaway to Miami was absolutely fabulous.)

In other shocking feedback: people are actually complimenting me on my new smell. My biggest fear going into this was scent. After all, self-tanners have a distinctive odour — and that’s typically why I’ve avoided them. But the Jergens^® Natural Glow^® Moisturizers are mild, pleasant and sweet smelling, on top of working well.

Also, when I wake up it doesn’t look like I sprinkled cheddar cheese powder all over my white sheets. Which is definitely another unexpected bonus.

Now, I’m just left wondering: how much darker can I get? How far will this glow go? Stay tuned.
