I am kind of a self tanner expert For very fair gals, it's nearly impossible to find one that doesn't have at least a hint of orange. The ONLY two I've found (and I've tried them all, from L'Oreal to the $70 a bottle) is the Banana Boat spray and SunLabs (which is the $70 a bottle)....I haven't tried Nivea but it's the same concept as Jergens and the other gradual tanners and I'm guessing you might have been a little too generous with the lotion. I don't use any more or less than I would regular lotion. Did you exfoliate well first too? It might just be the wrong formula for you. The only gradual tanner (Nivea, Jergens, etc) I like and use is called Malibu Hemp, it's a giant brown pump bottle and it's with the regular lotions not the tanning stuff, usually on the top or bottom shelf at Walmart. It's the best color of them all and smells better too. |
