Jergens Natural Glow

[nina]

Hello,

I'm new to posting, but have been reading here for a couple of weeks, now. I have struggled with skin picking for many years now and had no idea that others shared my plight. I can't tell you how amazing this place is. It helps me keep trying.

One thing has kept me from picking at my legs and arms for about two weeks now. (A record!) The Jergen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer evens out your skin tone and gives you subtle color. Its not like the self tanners that you have to worry about exfoliating and streaking. It is easy. You just apply it, wash your hands, wait five minutes and get dressed. Geez, this sounds like an ad...my apologies!

I don't notice as many "flaws" to attack now that I have evened my skin coloring out with this stuff. This is the longest I have gone without picking at my arms and legs in years. I was always leery of self tanner, but read about the Jergen's and finally tried it. I am super pale (obviously from constantly hiding my skin). This makes me look and feel better. Maybe it will work for some of you. It's worth a shot.

Now, I just have to find a way to get me to leave my scalp and face alone. I am starting to cover my mirror up at night, but I am still at a loss at how to stop attacking my scalp.

I hope this helps someone out. I am empowered by just reading many of your words and hope that, together, we can be free. I am tired of feeling like a leper.

Cool. I was curious about this moisturiser (just 'cause it seemed like an interesting idea) and I was going to ask if it would wokr on really pale skin but you already answered the question.

How long does it take to start working???

Only a few days.
Start with the lotion for fair skin. After a week, you can use the medium toned one if you want to look more tanned. It looks really natural. It's really weird for me to have some color to my skin. I like it, though. It makes me feel better.

I am using the medium toned lotion currently. I just put it on before I get dressed every day.

I bought it but I have been too afraid to use it. Can you put it on your face? I am very pale and I was afraid that if I put it on my body then my face will look really pale in comparison. Also if I put it on my face will it make my scabs look darker?

I was on this board a few months ago until I was doing better, and now recently I've gotten muvh worse. I've had this almost since the first time I can remember, when I was very little. I've started picking at my scalp recently(originally it was my arms and mostly my legs). So it's depressing.. and I'm out of control. When I'm in school, sometimes I stop taking a test and actually sit there for a few minutes picking my scalp. I don't know what to do anymore..
