Hello ladies have a question about self tanners. I have never used them being I have a 2 year old and work full time I don't have the time or extra money for tanning bed. What kind do you find works best? and also how do you apply it?

Ok, I've used tons and tons of self tanners and for drugstore I like the Loreal Sublime Sun line. They make it in a lotion and a gel. I personally like the gel better because I feel like it absorbs quicker! Or they make a mist! Which is fairly easy to apply. And all are in the 8-10 dollar range! Now my alllllll time favorite is a brand called Sun Goddess! It's a little more expensive but it is TOTALLY worth it! It leaves a nice natural Olive toned tan and it's just fabulous! If you order from the actually website it's altogether like 50 dollars but if you join the monthly membership you get it cheaper. It makes me literally so dark and it's so build able too. Now for application I like to use rubber gloves. That way I have no hassle of washing my hands after and worry about getting orange palms haha. And when using self tanners, it's recommended to moisturize extra since if the top layer if your skin gets dry and flaky, your self tan will appear flaky as well. Hope I could help!

I like the ones that are gradual or provide a natural looking tan so my faves are by jergens and banana boat - n please don't use the tanning bed - you will get skin cancer and tan skin is not worth dying over my love... UV radiation is causing too many deaths because people don't use SPF and instead use the tanning bed when all that does is put yourself in an oven powered by the same radiation given off by the sun that causes skin cancer - so please don't use the beds for your own life's sake.
