Kyle Richards says this moisturizer is her 'feel good' spray-tan alternative — and it's only $14
Kyle Richards knows what looks good — and what makes her feel good — after decades in front of the camera, first as a child actress and now as the longest-running cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And, for the reality maven, what feels good is having a little color, but without harmful exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Her solution: Jergens Natural Glow, which gradually bronzes skin while tackling dryness, boosting firmness and protecting it from the sun. You can score both the face and body moisturizers for just $14 at Amazon to help get your skin summer-ready.
A safer summer glow is in your future: You get two products for $14 with this set.
In a recent Amazon livestream, Kyle shared what she calls her "spring break haul" with shoppers — including her go-to self tanner. "I used to do a lot of spray tans," she confessed. "I've been steering away from them lately ... so what I did before [coming to Mexico for spring break] was I used this." Richards then showed the audience a tube of Jergens Natural Glow, adding, "I use the medium-to-tan one. I put it all over my body two, three days before we came here to build up some color, and on my face too." Kyle leaned closer to the camera to show off her bronze glow. "So that's why it looks like I already have some color, like I've been here [in Mexico] for awhile, but the truth is, I just got here yesterday!"
The actress also shared that having a little natural color "makes me feel good," and honestly, that's our favorite reason for using any beauty product. Getting that feel-good tan without exposing ourselves to harmful UV rays? Even better.
Jergens Natural Glow aims to infuse natural-looking color — especially welcome after a particularly pasty-making winter — without you risking a sunburn or, even worse, skin cancer from baking under the sun. It aims to leave a gradual, streak-free color while nourishing and moisturizing skin, which is especially helpful if you're extra dry.
The face moisturizer has SPF 20, so it continues to protect your skin even after you get your tan on. Meanwhile, the body lotion is infused with collagen, elastin and green tea to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Collagen in particular is known to help improve skin hydration and texture with topical use.
More than 23,000 Amazon shoppers agree with Kyle's assessment, saying Jergens Natural Glow is a must for anyone who feels great with a little tan.
"I have never used a self tanner before!" confessed one user. "I get pretty tan in the summer, but very pale in the winter. I bought this item because it is mess-free, and it works wonderfully! After three uses, I have a beautiful glow."
"No lotion is magic — don't expect cellulite to disappear — however, this does a nice job smoothing and tightening to help reduce the appearance of cellulite," shared another shopper. "I'm fair with neutral/warm undertones, and this lotion does not turn me orange. It gradually tans me over time but it isn't extreme, which is what I want. It's a nice tan glow, so pretty."
Several reviewers stressed that it's important to wash your hands after use, and let the lotion dry before exposing your skin to any fabric, like clothing or bedsheets. "Always wash your hands after application or the skin in between your fingers will turn orange, and if you get your nails done, it will discolor them," warned one writer. Still, "I get many compliments," they said. "People are always asking me, 'Did you go tanning?' Nope — that’s my lotion!"
Add gradual color to pale skin, but that's not all: The body moisturizer even aims to reduce cellulite.
