I was out a couple weeks ago with some lady friends when the weather was nice.
One said, "I need a new summer wardrobe!"
The other said, "I need to loose weight!"
I looked at my reflective white skin and exclaimed, "I need a spray tan!"
I've never tried the spray tan, though I've seen the infamous Friends episode (am I dating myself?) where Ross gets repeatedly sprayed on the same side.
I have to say, I like the idea - instant gratification - you get a safe, even tan in minutes without redness, blisters or orange hands. I challenge you moms, me included to try it out.

Get a fresh look for between $15 - $30! They last up to a week.

If you'd feel more comfortable sticking to the lotions, I highly recommend the Jergens Natural Glow Firming lotion. The color is more controlled because it layers on. It'll take a few days to notice results but you won't get hard edges of color like the one-time applications. Ohh, and I specified the "Firming" one because of the smell, not the results. One complaint I heard from others on these lotions is the smell. I've worn the Jergens Firming daily moisturizer JUST for the soft, pleasent scent. These come in 7.5oz tubes that cost around $8.
