Aveeno Continous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion

Since a reader mentioned this in the comment section of discussing self-tanners, I thought I would post my review of Aveeno Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion. aveeno lotion

It's found easily at the drugstore, and I'm using the kind for medium skin tones.

The reader is right: this is the most gradual tanning lotion out there. I hardly saw a change in skin colour after the first application, but the build-up after a week of use was noticeable.

I think that this has a lower concentration of active ingredients which also means that the self-tanner smell was minimal! If you're sensitive to the smell or really hate it, then use this!

I do have to say that it was very moisturizing. I never had dry skin when I used this, and I was really pleased with that. The lotion itself is light and absorbs reasonably quickly.

It's also light-weight enough that I could use it on my face, like one of my readers does. It worked beautifully and is the only gradual lotion that I would do this with.

The Aveeno Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion is definitely worth trying and because it's customizable I liked it a lot.

I'm glad you like it as well. Like I said, it's gradual, but you will never be stuck with an orange face or with huge missed spots around your hairline and neck. I think you'd have to be REALLY fair to use the one for fair skin tones for it to work. I also use the kind for medium skin tones, and I consider myself kind of fair (in the winter anyway).
