Internet bought lotions.... - tanTALK

MagicHands · 08-01-2005, 02:13 PM

Good afternoon all!
I have a question for the people in the know here. I have bought several brands of lotion from Lewies on the net at a cost savings. Several of them, Figi Blend Sun Tea for example, contain a bronzer. My tanning salon has questioned the authenticity of the lotion because of it's "white" color. Shouldn't the lotion have a brown or dark color of some sort. Has anyone seen the color of this brand of lotion? Can you tell me if it indeed should br white? Thanks for the info!

DOn't buy your lotions online for this exact reason. If you purchased the lotion from your salon, you wouldn't have to question it.

You can never trust what you buy on the internet. Go through your distributor and you will not have this problem!!

Buying lotion off the internet is like a box of chocolates! You never know what your gonna get!
From what I understand, bronzer has no color. Look at Figi's Velevt Nights. It is white and is the best bronzer lotion I have used. My customers favorite!
Buy from your local salon so you can be educated in any lotion you have questions on. You can see it, smell it and even try a sample. At least you know what you will be buying.

DHA is a colorless sugar compound.

That lotion is white, but I do suggest not buying of the internet> We got off the phone w/ DS yesterday and were dicussing a lawsuit against websites that sell lotion at a discount price. If a salon owner is willing to buy those product(which are said to be expired or refilled), imagine how many of your customers will end up finding that website and buying from them and not you.
