As we’re starting to slip into more skirts and sandals, the question of sun-deprived winter skin is on our minds. We’re not talking porcelain here—we’re talking pasty. Of course, we know that the sun is not our friend—so if we want a little glow we’re all about the self-tanner, but our experience has not always been pleasant—orange, streaky, or no results at all. We do enjoy our Jergen’s Natural Glow moisturizer, especially the skin firming variety, which gives does double duty of subtly tanning and toning, for less than $7 a tube. The result is not dramatic, however, which has us wondering—anyone else have a favorite self-tanning product that won’t leave us tapped out?
