Q: When the product states fair to medium, is this meaning your normal skin tone or the result of the tanning?
A: Hello! Thanks for asking - Using the formula customized for your natural skin tone will ensure the most natural-looking color. To find your natural skin tone, look at the inside (or underside) of your forearms, since these areas are not typically exposed to the sun. Another way to choose your formula is to refer to your favorite facial foundation color. If you typically use foundation colors that are fair or (light) medium (for example: Light Ivory, Ivory, Porcelain, Alabaster, Light Beige, Nude), then choose the JERGENS® Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Fair to Medium Skin Tones formula. If you typically use foundation colors that are (darker) medium or tan (for example: Medium Beige, Tan, Caramel), then choose the JERGENS® Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Medium to Deep Skin Tones formula.

Q: how long does it take to start to darken?
A: Hi Claire, thank you for your question! It will depend on how often you apply the product and how much you use, but if used daily you should start to see color in as little as three days and a full shade darker in just one week.

Q: Does this come off in a chlorinated pool?
A: Hi Becky! If this is fully dried in to your skin, it will not come off in a pool. Hope this helps!
submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 4 years agoBrand expertA: Hey Becky! Thanks for reaching out. Great question! Prolonged swimming and time spent in water can cause a sunless tan fade quicker. The best way to avoid fading, streakiness, and/or splotchiness from a pool is to apply your self tanner 2-3 days prior to being in the pool. A fully developed tan is more likely to fade evenly in the pool water. Be sure to thoroughly and evenly exfoliate the skin prior to applying the sunless tanner. And apply moisturizer daily after your tan has developed. Hope this helps!

Q: How long do you have to wait to dress after applying this natural glow moisturizer? Instructions say several minutes - but does that mean 3-5 minutes or 15 minutes or longer? Thanks!
A: Hi there! Thanks for sending a question. We recommend waiting about 5 minutes after application to get dressed. Ultimately, it comes down to the feeling after application - If things feel well absorbed after 5 minutes, you're likely okay to get dressed. If it feels like the moisturizer could set in or absorb a bit more, it would be best to wait about 5 more minutes. We hope this was helpful!
submitted byJergensCustomerSupport - 5 years agoBrand expertA: I mix this with my regular moisturizer (about 1/2 and 1/2). After I applying I set my timer for 10 minutes...that is usually enough time even to put on white pants. IF you live in more humid climates, I would add more time. Another thing I noticed...if you wear white pants, in the summer and sweat, you will get a tad on the inside of your pants. I live in Texas, so it gets hot here! 1 more tip, this is great to accelerate your tan if you have been in the sun. I use the same mixture (mixed with some lavender oil and sometimes aloe) after I have been on the beach or similar.

Q: Does this product create a tan with a certain undertone? Will it look good if I naturally have orange/gray undertones?
A: Hi Jaye - Using the formula customized for your natural skin tone will ensure the most natural-looking color. If you have orange/gray undertones I would recommend trying the light shade. To find your natural skin tone, look at the inside (or underside) of your forearms, since these areas are not typically exposed to the sun. Another way to choose your formula is to refer to your favorite facial foundation color. If you typically use foundation colors that are fair or (light) medium (for example: Light Ivory, Ivory, Porcelain, Alabaster, Light Beige, Nude), then choose the JERGENS® Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Fair to Medium Skin Tones formula. If you typically use foundation colors that are (darker) medium or tan (for example: Medium Beige, Tan, Caramel), then choose the JERGENS® Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Medium to Deep Skin Tones formula. Thank you!

Q: If you put this on before going out in the sun will it work better and faster?
A: Hi Liz! Thanks for your question - This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn, so we do not recommend applying prior to being in the sun. For best results you should apply JERGENS® Natural Glow® +FIRMING Daily Moisturizer every day—a gradual, natural-looking color will result after about 1 week of continued use. Or, if you are looking for a faster way to get natural-looking color, try JERGENS® Natural Glow Instant Sun Tanning Mousse which will develop color instantly. Your skin color will continue to deepen over the next several hours as well. Hope this helps!

Q: Will this stain my hands?
A: Hi - We recommend washing your hands after applying. If you do see any color after the product has developed, it is temporary and can be washed off with a mild hand soap. If the color persists, use an exfoliating scrub between your hands to remove any excess color after sunless tanner application! Thank you!
