Kyle Richards, 55, travels with this self-tanner and it's just $10 at Amazon

Not only is this lotion a self-tanner, but it's also moisturizing and promises to firm your skin.

Kyle Richards knows a little something about glowing year-round. As a Real Housewife, she kind of has to look good anytime she steps out. She's got "very light skin" and likes to glow. But we all know sitting out in the sun for a little color can have major consequences — and so does she. To get her complexion to a healthier shade, she uses Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Self Tanner. Right now, you can get it at Amazon for just $10.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Self-tanners can be pricey — you could pay nearly $50 for a spray or a cream to bronze your skin without going in the sun. But if you like drugstore prices, at $10, down from $12, the Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Self Tanner is a solid buy.

Why do I need this? 🧐

While we would love to sit out and bake in the sunshine, we know it's not good to get that bronze tone like we did in the '80s. This self-tanner can help give you a touch of color without the damaging rays. It's meant to gradually build color — over seven days, you'll get a streak-free tan.

On her Amazon Live, Richards says if she's got an event coming up, she'll start using Jergens Natural Glow a few days in advance to get a nice, even skin tone.

“A lot better than a spray tan,” she said. “I have very light skin and I like a glow.”

She added that she travels with it and likes to use it for touch-ups when she's on the road.

This lotion also promises to firm your skin. It's infused with ingredients like collagen and elastin which may reduce the appearance of cellulite.

What reviewers say 💬

This glowy firming lotion has more than 23,000 five-star fans.

Pros 👍

"Tans FAST!" gushed a five-star fan. "I have a beautiful glow on my normally extremely pasty skin! I got this product because I have not tanned in the sun since I was a kid, and I have been wanting to see a little bit of a glow on my skin for a while. This looks pretty natural and I'm quite happy with it!"

"I'm fair-skinned and also going through menopause," wrote a satisfied shopper. "Now that it's starting to get hotter I dread putting makeup on as my foundation just smears along with my sweating & I feel so gross!! This leaves my face & neck moisturized and bronze in color. Looks natural and not ORANGE either ... It takes away my redness and my face feels so refreshed as that's all I wear now ... So long foundation!"

"Perfect for fair people who don't want to bake their skin," another rave reviewer wrote. "Love it! I'm fair with neutral/warm undertones, and this lotion does not turn me orange. It gradually tans me over time but it isn't extreme, which is what I want. It's a nice tan glow, so pretty. I also like that the lotion is moisturizing and firming. No lotion is magic - don't expect cellulite to disappear - however, this does a nice job of smoothing and tightening to help reduce the appearance of cellulite."

Cons 👎

While some shoppers liked the scent, others said they could do without it.

"I wish it was unscented, but I don't mind the smell," wrote one shopper. "I've never been streaky or had any issues. Gives a very natural, gradual tan. I'm paler than a ghost and my friends all thought I had just gotten back from a week at the beach or something!"

Another shopper shared: "Apply after showering and within a few days there's no need to feel self-conscious about pale skin, Jergens provides a nice natural glow. Too much color, back off a bit and use every other day. My only complaint is the fragrance can be a bit overwhelming when first applied."

Another shopper agreed and added: "But one shower gets rid of it."

Made to enhance your skin's natural tone, this lotion is also infused with ingredients like collagen and elastin which may reduce the appearance of cellulite.
