X close

•
Is this an effective moisturizer?
X close
Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizers are great moisturizers that provide very effective hydration. They contain the same moisturizing ingredients found in many other Jergens® lotions (examples: glycerin, petrolatum, mineral oil) as well as Mango Butter and Vitamin E which are known to help moisturize skin. They have been specially formulated with a rich texture to leave your skin soft and smooth.
•
What are the color enhancing ingredients and how do they work?
X close
This product contains erythrulose and dihdroxyacetone (DHA). Although DHA is found in common sunless tanners, erythrulose is also not typically found in common sunless tanners. It is used in prestige department store brand facial sunless tanning products. These ingredients which make up our Glow Perfecting® Complex provide more natural-looking skin color than sunless tanners, which typically contain only DHA.
Our research has optimized the combination of Erythrulose, DHA and DHA-R so that they work together to enhance and deepen your natural skin color. Erythrulose, DHA and DHA-R provide deeper skin color through chemical reactions called the Maillard Reaction. However, they deepen skin color at different rates of change and to different skin colorations. All three ingredients are safe for consumers for topical use.
•
How long will the effect last?
X close
If use of the product is discontinued, skin color will begin to fade in a few days and be completely faded after about one to two weeks.
•
Will I eventually have to change to a darker shade?
X close
Some people have switched to a darker shade with good results after first using a lighter shade formula. To find the right formula, make sure you're choosing your shade based on your natural skin tone or starting skin tone and the starting shade on the front of the package.
•
Will I get too dark? Will the color be even?
X close
After three days of daily use, your skin should be about one shade darker. Use the product every other day or when you need a quick color boost. You can maintain your skin color with your favorite Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizer. Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer gradually darkens only the very top layers of your skin. Since the top layers of the skin cell naturally exfoliate to expose new skin cells, your skin will naturally reach a plateau. For best results, exfoliate before your first use and do not exfoliate more than once a week.
•
Can I use this every day? Can you jump to another shade for quicker effect?
X close
Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer is great for getting natural summer color fast. After three days of daily use, your skin should be about one shade darker. You can use the product every other day or when you need a quick color boost. You can maintain your skin color with your favorite Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizer. If desired, a darker formula can be tried, but the results may not be as natural looking.
•
Which formula shade should I choose?
X close
Using the formula customized for your natural skin tone will ensure the most natural-looking color. Choose the Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer formula that has the "STARTING POINT" color which most closely matches your natural skin tone. A good place to check for your natural skin tone is the inside (or underside) of your forearms, since these areas typically are not exposed to the sun.
Another way to choose your formula is to refer to your favorite facial foundation color.
- If you typically use foundation colors that are fair or (light) medium (for example: Light Ivory, Ivory, Porcelain, Alabaster, Beige, Nude), then choose the "Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer for Fair to Medium Skin Tones" formula.
- If you typically use foundation colors that are (darker) medium or tan (for example: Medium Beige, Tan, Caramel), then choose the "Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer for Medium to Tan Skin Tones" formula.

•
Can I use it all over my body?
X close
Yes, it's okay to use it everywhere that you desire to subtly darken your skin.
•
Can I use it on my face?
X close
This product was designed for use on the body, but for a head-to-toe glow, our Jergens® natural glow Healthy Complexion Daily Facial Moisturizer is the perfect complement.
•
Can I get dressed after I apply it? How long should I wait?
X close
After applying Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer, allow several minutes for it to dry prior to getting dressed or applying make-up. This will prevent any lotion from rubbing off on clothes and ensure even coverage on the skin.
•
Can I use another moisturizer with this product?
X close
You may mix-and-match Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer with any Jergens® Skincare products, for example, Jergens® Ultra Healing® Moisturizer. If using two moisturizers at the same time, apply Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer first and allow it to dry completely.
•
How can I prevent the elbows and knees from becoming darker than the rest of my skin?
X close
The skin on elbows and knees tends to be drier, with more layers of skin cells, and since the chemical reactions of skin darkening take place in the surface layers of skin, the color can concentrate in those areas. We can suggest that you use a light application on your elbows and knees or use Jergens® Ultra Healing® Moisturizer first to smooth the skin.
•
Can I use different skin tone formulas for my body and face?
X close
Yes, you may use different skin tone formulas for your body and face if you feel using different formulas will provide the best matches for the skin tones of your body and face. However, using the same skin tone will most likely have the best results.
•
Can I use a sunscreen with this product?
X close
Of course, just apply it after you use Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer. These products don't contain sunscreen and they don't protect against sunburn. And remember that repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
•
How long does Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer last, after ideal color is reached, with normal showering?
X close
If use of the product is discontinued, skin color will begin to fade in a few days and be completely faded after about one to two weeks.
•
How can I use Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer along with Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizer?
X close
Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer is great for getting natural summer color fast. After three days of daily use, your skin should be about one shade darker. You can use the product every other day or when you need a quick color boost. Once you have reached your optimum intensity you can maintain your skin color with your favorite Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizer.
•
Can I move from 'Fair to Medium' Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer to 'Medium to Tan' Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer? Will I get darker by moving to the next shade?
X close
If desired, a darker formula can be tried, but the results may not be as natural looking.
•
I seem to have an orange color. What should I do?
X close
This is likely from overuse of the product - try using a lighter shade formula, applying a smaller amount or using it every other day instead of daily.
•
Is this a sunless tanner?
X close
Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer is an effective body moisturizer, unlike most sunless tanners. It contains ingredients found in sunless tanners, but works slower than a sunless tanner - over 3 days so you have the opportunity to apply product to missed spots or blend in difficult areas such as elbow, knees and ankles. Most sunless tanners work within a few hours and it is difficult to correct missed or streaky areas.
•
Should I wash my hands after I apply it? How do I remove stains from my skin?
X close
You should wash your hands to prevent unwanted color on your palms or potential stains on clothes. If you do have unwanted color on your skin, it will wear off in a few days and a body or facial scrub may also be used.
•
Can I use this in a tanning bed?
X close
We do not recommend using tanning beds in general. We did not test this moisturizer during tanning bed use so we recommend that you do not use it while using the bed.
•
I notice an odor on my skin from this product? What causes this?
X close
As the product works to darken the skin, some people may develop an unfamiliar smell on their skin. This smell is a part of the skin darkening process. Some people have told us that it smells like they have spent a day at the beach, and their skin smells warm and toasty. The fragrance in Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizers masks the smell for many of the consumers we tested on, but unfortunately, the smell is different from person to person and for a small group of consumers, they still find the smell comes through the fragrance.
•
I am an African American with caramel tones. Will this even out my skin tone?
X close
To even out caramel skin tones, try the Medium/Tan formulas for Body and Face.
•
Is it safe to use when I am pregnant?
X close
We suggest that you consult your doctor as only he or she has thorough knowledge of your medical history.
•
Is the Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer darker than Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizers?

•
Is there more DHA in Jergens® natural glow express Body Moisturizer than Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizers?

•
For best results exfoliate before your first use using an exfoliator that is not oil based. This helps to slough off any dead skin and will help to ensure natural even color. Oil based exfoliators will inhibit color development.
