I have used tons of different self-tanners over the years in an attempt to find one that works really well.  I endured orange skin, stripey results, and tanners that clung to the driest parts of me leaving me looking like I had the mange.  Finally last year some of the major lotion manufacturers started adding touches of self-tanners to their lotions.  I gave many of them a try before finally settling on Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow.

The product claims to give skin that sun-kissed, just-back-from-vacation glow gradually over the course of a week while also providing moisture.  Well this is one product that lives up to its claims.  After shaving and bathing I apply Vaseline Healthy Body Glow everywhere I want to be moisturized and tan.  After just one application I notice that my skin is slightly darker and feels moisturized.  Last month I attended a black tie dinner with my dad and when I tried on my revealing dress the morning before I realized that after sitting inside all winter my skin was the color of boiled chicken.  Not so attractive So I whipped my bottle of Vaseline out and quickly applied a layer of lotion to my arms, back, and chest.  Within a few hours I started to see a little color and added another layer just for good measure so I would have just a tad more color.  It wasn't a drastic change, just a subtle tan glow that made me feel better about myself.

That's what I like best about this product.  Unlike other self-tanners which develop color very quickly and tend to make any mistakes made during the application process stick out like a sore thumb, Vaseline Healthy Body Glow develops gradually so any small problems can be fixed before they become large, embarassing problems.

I like the subtle self tanners. I haven't tried this one yet but may now!

I'll have to try this. I got some Jergens which did not add any color at all.
