How dark should a base tan be, before... - tanTALK

Sunny_Bunny · 01-16-2005, 04:13 PM

I'm a fairly new tanner, but I'm surprised at how nicely my base tan has been developing. I'm a naturally medium toned asian with type 3c skin, and since I signed up for my membership at my salon, I've tanned about 6 times total (every other day). I just ordered a bottle of 100xx bombshell online, so I'm wondering when I should start using it after I get it next week. I also ordered Vanilla Tini. When should I use these? cuz I'm concerned about whether or not my base tan is ready to handle bombshell.

--I havn't used any lotions or oils at all until today- I got a sampler of pink diamonds for my legs. It tingled just a little bit, and wasn't unpleasant at all-- it worked really well, and I loved the smell!

Imagine, two people with the same problem at the same time?

I didn't say I had a 'problem', but my specific question was, since my skin is different than more sensitive caucasian skin, if there's any people that know when i can start using such a strong product- [bold]Bombshell[bold]in specific.

I would use your Vanilla Tini first, then use the Bombshell. By the end of your Vanilla you may be at a plateau that the Bombshell can help with. Or you can use the Bombshell on your shins and forearms if they're hard to tan like mine. Let me know how you like the Vanilla...I'm going to order some in soon.

thank you for your input, I appreciate it! I'll be sure to rate both vanilla and bombshell, once I get them in!

Sunny-Bunny I'm Just a little curious as to how you can ask a question of us salon owners about lotions which you purchased on the internet. Don't you have any shame? BEWARE OF THE LOTIONS BOUGHT ON THE WEB!!!

I'm with Parrot here. It may seem like a great idea to save a little money by buying your lotions online, but beware. I found people that were pouring one bottle of lotion out, mixing it with hand lotion, and then pouring it back into 2 different bottles to double their profit...or some people will just replace the entire contents with hand lotion. Just beware....I'm all about saving a buck here and there, but when you throw in their expensive shipping costs, you really only end up saving around $5...certainly not enough to make up for the fact that you spent good money on watered down Jergen's lotion.

yeah I know, it's all true- I kept that in mind while I browsed for hours on the internet making sure things were safe. I'm taking my risks but I'm also minimizing by doing tons of research. I'm not stupid, I'm being careful. I've been cautious about the different sellers and making sure they have lots and lots of positive feedback- ebay- i'm only looking at the sellers with very high ratings from hundreds and hundreds of buyers.

If you have never used this lotion before, how will you know if what is in the bottle is what you have paid for?
