What is the best sunless tanner (tanning lotion)?

I want to build up a nice tan before spring break but I want to do it the fake way, not the bake way. What sunless tanners do you suggest? and should I use a gradual one or one of the instant ones?

    The Jergens Daily Glow is nice, and there is one by Ocean Potion (I think that's what it's called) that I found at Walmart that works great, smells good, and is fairly inexpensive. But just remember, just because you look tan, it doesn't give you a real "base tan", so still limit your time in the sun otherwise you will burn.

    You could go to Sun Tan City and use their Versa Spa. They have a lot of options with the color you want and it isn't very expensive at all..I would do it the day before you go on spring break. It looks really good and you won't look orange. If you don't want to do that, i really like Neutrogena. Remember when you use a fake tanner to blend the tanner and some lotion in your hand then apply it. It helps to make it look even.

    Hawaiian Tropic Island Radiance self tanner works really well. You get nice even color within a few hours that's not orange and you only have to use it every few days or so. Plus it smells awesome.

    L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self Tan Wipes! They give you an even tan which I did not have very often using other self taning products! They work really well and you can use them for your face too!

    im not sure of any brand names, but i would deff get a gradual one.

    with the instant one you will just cause alot of attention to your skin, one day your white the next your brown. the gradual ones much better, and if you miss a spot you can always fix it better than if it were reall dark

    gradual, it's healthier. Go to bath & body works, look at their True Blue Spa Collection. Or Jergens' daily glow I think it called.

    Jergens is really good.

    Just so you don't learn it the hard way make sure you get it in YOUR SKIN COLOR (Light, Medium, or Dark) Trust me it's not fun.

    And that's with any tanning lotion.
