Hey guys!
This week I will be reviewing Nature’s Gate Glow
Lotion for medium skin tones. This product is comparable to the Jergens Natural
Glow Daily Moisturizer or other self tanning lotions.
The Nature’s gate formula contains no parabens, no
phthalates, no petroleum, no synthetic fragrances, and is cruelty free, and is
also vegan. I find a little more comfort using this self tanner versus some of
the other ones on the market because I think it is better quality and has better
ingredients. So, if you are looking for a more natural way to bronze your skin
look no further!
Price- $8.98 for 16 oz. on LuckyVitamin.com.
I haven’t found this product in stores but you can buy it on Amazon, iHerb,
LuckyVitamin, and PureFormula. Jergens usually runs for around 6-8$ for 7.5 fl.
oz. In proportion, these products are about the same price if not the Nature’s
Gate is a better deal.
How to use & how I used it-
You apply this just like any other self tanner or lotion. You need to apply
smooth even layers to avoid uneven color in certain areas. You should apply
onto dry skin and allow the product to dry for several minutes before applying
clothing.
I applied this product after the shower, all over
the body. It was hard to get even layers over my back and around my feet &
wrists so be extra careful there! You may need help. I didn’t use this product
on my face because I have really sensitive skin, but I tried my best to have a
smooth transition from my neck to my face.
Also, make sure you wash your hands after applying!!
You will get orange fingers… YUCK!
Smell- You know how self tanning
lotions always have sort of a weird smell to them? Well this product is no
different. It has less of “that smell” compared to Jergens, but it is still
there. I am not a fan of “that smell”, but I don’t mind it if the product
works!
How well the product worked- I
think that this product worked just as well as the Jergens self tanning lotion
BUT I would prefer the Nature’s Gate over that one because it has better
ingredients. I personally don’t like using lotion, so I felt like this product
was “trapping” my skin (but I feel that way about regular lotion). I felt as though
this product contributed to moisturizing my skin. As for the tanning
properties, this lotion works! I have a medium/light skin tone (depending on the
time of year), and I felt like the medium worked perfectly for me in the Fall
and Spring. I do have some eczema patches, and it does discolor them and give
them an orangey hue. The area’s that I found got orangey and not smooth looking
were: my ankles/feet, my hands, and my chest. I think that this was more
personal error than product error! So, just make sure you smooth those areas
out really well! I give this product a 9/10.
Likes- Subtly made my skin tone
darker, easy to apply, moisturizing, great price.
Dislikes- Smell.
Buy/use again?- Yes! I will definitely
continue to use this product in the Summer, Fall, and Spring! I would buy the
one for lighter skin tones for the Winter because it would look more natural
for my skin type.
