Is your manager not giving you any info on this? I will be happy to give you some but I am just amazed that no one is training you.

You should always use a lotion--(read accelerator). And you will always get what you pay for.
A good line to use when selling is--why waste your money on tanning if you are not going to get the most out of it.

Accelerator--Lotions designed to prepare the skin for tanning. Provides moisture (which is lost during the tanning process)....this helps hold on to the tan since dry skin sheds & if you are shedding the top layers of skin you are shedding your tan. Salon lotions have high quality ingredients that conditon....some have firming agents, ect.

Bronzers - contain bronzing agents found in self tanners to give an extra boost of color. I usually reccommend this to people starting out who are wanting quicker results or someone wanting to move from a straight accelerrator to something "stronger".

Tingle - IMO just contains skin irritants that gives an impression that the person got a lot more sun than they actually did. Although--some people swear by them. Can cause temp itching & blotchiness.
