Jergens Natural Glow Reviews
March 2, 2010
As you know from my previous posts, I haven’t always been a huge fan of the cheap sunless tanners. For whatever reason though, they do always attract my attention on the store shelves and I always seem to be trying a new one to see if I can get better results. My most recent attempt was made with Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. This little guy is a self tanner that can be picked up for under $10 and I had heard some good things about it so I decided it was worth giving it a chance. Unlike many of the bargain basement products I’ve used in the past, this one didn’t immediately turn me off. The color was pretty good and it dried very quickly after putting it on which always scores at least a few points with me. I thought the affordable price combined with a lack of streaking and the quick application process made it an attractive option if you are looking for a value priced tanner. Here is another review in case you want another opinion:

All in all, I thought it was a pretty good product. The biggest disadvantage in my opinion was that it did take “gradual self tanner” to a whole new level. You do have to apply quite a bit of this and it seems to take a long time to get any kind of darker color. I guess this would be good if you just wanted a little bit of a base tan. I also didn’t care much for the smell although I will admit that I didn’t read too many other reviews where users shared that same opinion. All in all, this was probably one of the better cheap self tanners I’ve tried but for now I’m going to stick with my favorite which I’ve posted about in the past.
What makes a great skin care product?
February 23, 2010
We spend a lot of time covering great skin care products but not nearly enough time examining just what that means. Today we will focus on outlining the qualities of a truly great skin care product. Here are some of the things we look for in a best-of-class product. First and foremost, it has to perform. If and only if the product in question does what it says will it be eligible for consideration. In almost every case, we are purchasing skin care products because we want them to be highly effective at giving us a particular beauty result whether that is bronzing, plumping, smoothing, moisturizing, exfoliating, etc. Next, we look at the ingredients and potential for unwanted of harmful side effects. Skin care should be just that and anything you put on your skin that could do damage is something we do our best to avoid. With those things in place, we look next to the application process. I know most women are very busy and don’t have the extra free time in their schedules to deal with products that are difficult or time consuming to apply. Finally the price point plays an important role as well. To a certain extent, there will always be a price to pay for quality. Good products contain good ingredients and are manufactured under strict quality standards and all of these things cost money. With that being said, we strive to identify products that are both effective and affordable to the average skin care buyer.

Self Tanners
October 19, 2009
With the chill of winter starting to make its way in, your mind may be starting to drift a little bit to thoughts of spending time outside under the warm summer sun or enjoying time by the pool this summer. One way to ease the pain over the transitioning seasons is to keep yourself looking like you did this summer. Just because July has come and gone, that doesn’t mean your nice tan has to as well! This summer saw the introduction of some brilliant new self tanners and sunless tanning products. No, I’m not talking about those streaky, orange looking self tanners of the past. I’m talking about the next generation tanners that actually look and feel like a real tan only without the sun and without the risk of UV exposure. With these new products, not only can you get an amazing tan; you can do it for less than the cost of a trip to Starbucks each day! One such new product is a natural self tanner is the Bronzing Glow by Greek Island Labs. It is a light mist that comes in a spray bottle and all you have to doo to get a fresh gradual tan is apply a few spritzes each day and gently massage it into your skin. The product has a very light tropical scent which goes away a few minutes after you apply it. It is a unique product in that it is made with norganic ingredients and leaves your skin not only tan but soft and smooth as well. Worried about it getting on your clothes? Not going to happen here! This light mist dries within seconds and does not stain your clothes or bed linens, nor does it come of in the shower. Don’t feel like you have to give up that great tan this winter! Self tanning products are better than ever and can have you looking like you just got back from a cruise all year round. Winter might be unavoidable but the pale and unhealthy looking skin that typically goes along with it doesn’t have to be. Treat yourself to a perfect bronze tan that will have you looking and thinking summer all year!
