Jergens Natural Glow Review: A Tan Without the Sunburn or Regret

Posted by Brad Mitchell on Mar 20th 2025

Alright, let’s talk about something we all secretly want but don’t always admit—a sun-kissed glow without looking like we fell asleep in a tanning bed. Enter Jergens Natural Glow Face Self Tanner—the product for those of us who want a little color but don’t feel like risking a sunburn or streaky disaster.

Does It Actually Work?

Look, I get it. The fear of turning orange is real. We’ve all seen someone go a little too hard with self-tanner and end up looking… well, questionable. The good news? This one builds gradually, so you’re not going from “ghostly pale” to “spray tan mishap” overnight. Instead, it gives you a natural, “I just got back from vacation” kind of glow—without ever stepping outside.

How It Feels & Smells (Because That Matters)

Some self-tanners feel like you just rubbed regret all over your skin. This one doesn’t. It’s a moisturizer first, meaning it’s light, non-greasy, and won’t leave your face feeling sticky. Plus, the scent is actually mild—none of that weird “fake tan” smell that makes people take a step back when they talk to you.

Bonus Points: SPF 20

Here’s where it really wins. Not only does it give you a little color, but it also protects your skin. We all know we should be wearing SPF every day, but let’s be real—most of us don’t. This one sneaks it into your routine without the hassle of an extra product.

Who Should Use This?

If you’re fair to medium skin-toned and want a little extra glow
If you want a moisturizer that won’t clog your pores
If you’d rather skip the sunburn and still look like you go outside
If you need something affordable and easy to use

Final Verdict: Worth It?

For under $4? Absolutely. It’s easy, doesn’t stink, won’t turn you orange, and keeps your skin protected while giving you a natural tan. Just apply evenly (blend into your hairline, seriously), let it build gradually, and enjoy the glow. Low effort, solid results.
