I'm a huge fan of self-tanning towelettes, so when I came across these Sonia Kashuk Self-Tanning Towelettes at Target, I didn't even think twice about buying them. I use a variety of self-tanners in the summer, but I'm always a little leery of using one on my face. The color needs to be natural and not streaky.

I recently tried St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray for the first time and was pleased with how it performed. St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray utilizes a super-fine mist to help you get a super-even tan without the mess or smell of many other self-tanning products.
I loved the golden, bronzy glow I got with no streaks or patchy spots. I would rate this as one of the best self tanning sprays I've used. To maintain, I've been re-applying St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray about every 4 days.
St. Tropez's tanning products are unique because all St. Tropez tanning products feature its new AromaGuard Technology, which most of the odor that you find in other self-tanning products. This new AromaGuard replaces that tell-tale self-tanning odor with a clean, fresh scent. I try alot of self tanning products, many that have the unmistakable "self tan" odor from the DHA and St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray is truly superior.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray retails at $35 and are available at www.sttropeztan.com.
Jergens continues to build and improve on it's gradual self-tanning franchise with the introduction of Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer. I've used the Jergens Natural Glow Lotion before--mainly to extend my tan, so I was eager to try the foaming version.
Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer comes in two colors; fair to medium skin tone and medium to dark skin tones. It takes about a week of daily use to build up your color. It's really mess free. I've found that a golfball-sized amount covers a fair amount of skin. It dries quickly with little fragrance. You shouldn't use the Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer on your face; it's formulated for body use only.
Although I love the foam application, I do wish this product was a little more "moisturizing", however. In terms of the color, it's very natural. If you're shy about using a self-tanner, a "gradual glow" product like this one is a great way to start.
Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer is available at mass drug, discount and food retailers, including ULTA Beauty

Interviewed for my thoughts on the best self-tanning towelettes, I picked Comodynes as my favorite. Comodynes towelettes are easy and convenient to apply, provide good color with minimal odor and are easy on the budget at about $12.99 for 8 sheets.
At the time of the interview, I hadn't had a chance to try the Kate Somerville Somer 360 Tanning Towelettes. The results are equally as good as Comodynes and the towelette is larger, but the Somer 360 Tanning Towelettes are more expensive.
If you're a self-tanning fan or if you've never tried one and need some product recommendations, pick up this week's Woman's World Magazine.
Kate Somerville Somer 360 Tanning Towelettes are a new self-tanning towelette that is easy and smell-free. I love the look of a tan but I usually don't have the time it takes to build up the gorgeous glow. With one Somer 360 Tanning Towelette, I've got it! Of all of the tanning towelettes I've used, this one gives the most natural tan color.
The Kate Somerville Somer 360 Tanning Towelettes are an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet that are very generously saturated with a paraben-free self tan formula. The only "smell" is a light, citrusy fragrance. There is enough product on the sheet to easily do face, neck and body. Like with any self-tanning product, exfoliating before application is a must. Once applied, the product dries in just a few minutes and the tan fully develops in 2 to 4 hours.
Apply the Kate Somerville Somer 360 Tanning Towelette in a circular motion. When you're done, to prevent an unnatural color line from forming on hands (or elbows, ankles, knees), lightly smooth lotion onto hands. I didn't experience streaks or uneven color, but it did take me a couple of tries to get the right "level" of color intensity. I found that the color lasts four to five days.
Kate Somerville Somer 360 Tanning Towelettes retail at $48 for 8 Towelettes and are available at QVC and at www.KateSomerville.com.
