Stockn’Go is an online shopping site  that offers popular beauty, health and household products at a ridiculously low price. Stockn’Go happens to be my go-to source for all of my favorite products from start to finish.  I never actually realized how many different products I use until I started making this list, below is a recap of my morning ritual and the products that I use.

Of course the first thing I do in the morning is hop in the shower.  I wake up my tired eyes with Clean & Clear Facial Cleaner (the one that has those little beads in it), I love the way it feels on my skin and the slight abrasion really helps me feel awake and refreshed.  After I’ve rubbed the chin, the cheeks, the forehead and even the neck, I move to the body wash.  I alternate between the fresh smell of Irish Spring Bar Soap (which also happens to be one of the few deodorant soaps that I can find) and the moisturizing body wash by Oil of Olay, I love the smell and it makes my skin feel super soft.  I personally like to keep a variety of products available so that my skin and my hair doesn’t get too used to one thing, also, sometimes I want a deep clean and other times I want to moisturize, so it’s good to have options.  Once the face and body are clean I move to my hair.  For hair products I love, love, love Kerastase.  I love the Kerastase Bain Volumactive for deep repair and the Kerastase Nutritive for deep conditioning.  Not to sound like someone from the Style Network, but these products honestly changed my hair from drab to fab.  I have never used a product I was impressed with as much as Kerastase.  Athough the price tag can hurt, it helps to go through Stockn’Go to make it more affordable.   Once I have lathered the conditioner in my hair, which I only apply to the bottom so as not to get the top greasy,  I let it sit for a few minutes while I work on the ever dreaded shaving of the legs.  My weapon of choice is the Venus Razor, which has little pads of soap on each side of the razor – this is very helpful if you run out of shaving cream.  I am sure many people use these pads of soap completely in place of the shaving cream, which I have done many a time, but the best clean cut shave that I ever get is when I use the Venus Razor in combination with a shaving cream such as Skintimate Gel – together they leave the skin silky smooth!!

Now I don’t know if I’m the only one this happens to, but when I get out of the shower I look like an owl with two black eyes.  My mascara never seems to come off, or comes off but settles underneath my eyes.  I think part of me never wants to get too close to my eyes with the soap, so I am left to deal with it later, which is fine I’m used to it by now, it’s just my roommate who gets a shock every time I walk out of the bathroom.   Because of this, my one product I can’t go to a sleepover party without is my Almay Eye Makeup Remover (the oil free kind).  Whether its before I go to bed, when I wake up in the AM, or after I get out of the shower, these little cleaning pads are my “owl eye” savior.   After I wipe the mascara remnants off with my Almay pads, I then swipe under the eye with a Q-tip that I have moisturized with my Oil of Olay Eye Lifting Serum.  To me this is like killing two birds with one stone: I scoop up any remaining remnants of eye makeup that might have been lingering and I also reap the benefits of a cream that smooths, firms and brightens my tired eyes.

In the winter months my skin is so painfully dry, and no one wants to see dead, dry skin, so lotion is a must – all kinds of lotion! On my body I like to use Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion , this is great for both dry weather and in the summer months as well.  On the face I use Jergens Natural Glow, it works as a daily moisturizer but also gives you a buildable tan that looks natural and offers a great healthy looking glow, I use this pretty much every day in the winter.  In the summer months I get a ton of sun and color just from being outside, so I like to supplement those damaging rays to my face with a wrinkle reducing cream such as Oil of Olay Regenerist.  As you might have noticed, I tend to use Oil of Olay for a lot of my products, they always get great reviews, are available at an affordable price AND since they are offered through Stockn’Go on a regular basis, I am able to pick them up at an even lower price.  WIN, WIN!

If I paid full price for all of these products I would have spent $161.12.
Lucky for me I went online to Stockn’Go and only spent $114.87.

Jergens Natural Glow is one of Stockn’Go’s best sellers as it moisturizes the skin while building a natural looking tan, but it is also one of the products that creates many questions from users.  Today we are going to try and answer some of those questions so that your Jergens Natural Glow experience will come out the way it should – as a natural looking glow!

Below are the top questions asked and answered…

How often should I apply?

Jergens recommends that you apply every day until you reach the color you want, and then every other day or every three days to maintain color.

How do I keep it from looking streaky?

For best results exfoliate your skin, shave if needed, shower and towel dry, then apply the Jergens Natural Glow like you would any daily moisturizer to ensure a natural even looking color.

Will it make me look orange?

The best way to prevent any kind of orange hue is to choose the right color for your skin tone.  As mentioned in our previous Blog “How to Get the Most out of your Jergens Natural Glow” Jergens recommends that you use the inside of your forearm as a guide and match your skin tone to the chart on the back of the product tube.

How long does it take to see results?

Allow 3 to 10 days for your tan to develop.  Once you have achieved desired results, apply every other day or every three days.

Will I still get tan from the sun?

Yes you will still get tan, Jergens Natural Glow does not contain SPF but can be used in conjunction with sunblock, makeup or other daily moisturizer.

Can I apply to my face?

You can use Jergens Natural Glow on your face, but Jergens recommends the Jergens atural Glow Face Moisturizer as it does contain SPF 20.

How to get the most out of Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer. The summer months are long gone and with them, the bronzing you worked on in the sun. Not to worry! Jergens, with many health and beauty products, also has a great line of self tanning moisturizers.

Now I know what you’re thinking: self tanning moisturizers can smell and leave you orange or worse streaky. But this isn’t the case with Jergens Natural Glow though. They leave you with an actual natural looking “glow” and don’t have much of a smell at all. According to The 15 Minute Beauty Fanatic the new formula won’t turn you orange because it builds up your bronzing in a matter of 3 days, instead of all at once. The formula is very forgiving, no streaking or issues with color buildup. Beauty Logic also pointed out that Natural Glow won’t leave you streaky.

Many people looking for that sun glow have turned to spray tanning. While spray tanning works it can also end up being extremely expensive. Lady and the Blog says she was hanging out with a friend recently who looked great and figured she was spray tanning. Instead, the friend told her she had been using Natural Glow so she decided to use it and was amazed at how quickly she began to see a tan developing on her own skin.

We have some quick tips thanks to  Jergen’s website so you can make sure to get the most out of Jergens Natural Glow.

1. Start off with a lighter shade and work your way up. The great thing about Natural Glow is that you work your way up from one shade til the next and can stop wherever you want. says to, “Use the inside of your forearm as a guide and match your skin tone to the chart on the back of the product tube. Product shade decisions should be based on your natural skin tone.”

2. Mimic a natural tan when applying Jergens natural glow express Body Moisturizer to your arms, remembering that a natural tan is often lighter on the underside of the arms than the tops of the arms. To get that natural look, apply the product to the tops of your arms and then blend around to the underarms.

3. Use sparingly on knuckles, elbows, knees, ankles and in between fingers and toes as these areas are dry and will absorb more of the product.

4. Always apply to freshly cleansed skin.

5. Avoid getting wet for at least three hours after using Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizers.

The Spring is coming soon and bringing the sun with it, but if you need to get your self tanning on before you can soak up some real rays make sure to follow these tips. If you’re looking for more tips check out the green tips from our Valentine’s Day post and please leave a comment and let us know of any other ’sun bathing’ tips.
