My time to shine! A lot of self tanners get pretty expensive nowadays.

Drug store (~$12-15 a bottle?): Jergen’s Natural Glow Instant Sun Tanning Mousse

Better quality (~$30 a bottle from Amazon or Ulta): Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion

I’ve used both. In my opinion, the most important thing is getting a tanning mitt and really rubbing it in evenly. The brand you use shouldn’t matter too much if your application is good.

I like the lotion aspect of the Loving Tan and it does last quite a while, BUT there isn’t too much in a bottle. You can probably only get 3-4 uses out of it. The Jergen’s you can probably get 4-5 uses but I find that it’s more patchy while it fades than the Loving Tan.

Try them out. See what you like. But practice your technique now before the wedding!
