Jergens Natural Glow... But how natural is it?

Jergens Natural Glow is probably the cheapest self tanners out there but is it worth it?

I have used Jergens Natural Glow before and I do not favor the results. However, it does work... that is if you want to look orange!

I can never seem to find the perfect median with this product, either I don't see any results or too much results! And on top of things it makes me break out and after a couple days of using this product the color starts to fade off leaving blotchy bronze spots all over my face and body (this is the worse!). And I'm left looking like a sick person and everyone is avoiding me. UGH!

However, I do believe this is a great product for those who have pale white skin and looking to bronze. I recomend that you use a small amount at a time. Mixing this product with your skin tone may not make you look orange, and instead give you a nice bronze. But if you have a tendency to break out, then this might not be for you. As for people who have an olive skin tone like I do, I highly recommend to stay away from this product!

So what should people with olive skin tone do? Well stick around cause in my next couple blogs I'll tell you some of the best bronzers I've used just to the get that perfect color!

AcneFree.. Literally!


So in my previous post I talked about ProActiv and how it didn't completely work for me. I still got the occasional pimple that looked like the size of Texas on my face. One pimple was just bad enough to get me locking myself in my house. If I had to go out in public I would end up looking down at my feet while I was walking, which wasn't a good idea since looking down at my feet gave me neck cramps and made me dizzy.

However, one lucky day while my mother was shopping at Giant Eagle, she found an inexpensive acne kit that claimed it was 2 times more effective than ProActiv. Given that the kit was only $10, it wouldn't have hurt to buy and try it. And so I did. Within a week of using AcneFree, my face had complete cleared up. I couldn't believe it nor did my mom.
AcneFree is my choice of product, which has a similar set up as ProActiv. It was so effective that my friend's boyfriend at the time, (who's acne was far worse than mine back then) also started using it. The best part was it was inexpensive and you did not have to order it online or by the phone. It is conveniently place at your local grocery store or drug store.

My favorite product of the kit is the Repair Lotion. This is the miracle worker of the whole kit. If I feel as if a pimple is getting ready to appear, I just dab a little bit of the Repair Lotion and mask it over the little bump right before I go to bed. By next morning the minor bump which could've been potentially a massive pimple is gone. What is left is a smooth, bump-free, pimple-free skin.

The only downside of this product is the toner. I'm not a big fan of AcneFree's toner because I don't believe it does anything. When I put it on I feel as though I'm just putting scented water on my face. So if you plan on buying this product try buying a separate toner.

Next topic... Shellsea commented on under eye dark circles.. so stay tuned and get reviews on products that claim to get rid of them.. or do they?
