Question about tanning lotions - tanTALK

LilK · 10-24-2005, 10:22 PM

Hi, I don't know if I'm posting this question in the right spot but can someone give me some info please?
Anyways, I'm new at in door tanning...went today for my second time. The girl sold me a tanning lotion with bronzer in it and I don't like it at all. I just want a natural looking tan that I will adventually get on my own, with out any bronzer. Can anyone tell me a good brand or a good kind? Something that will moisturize and help produce a deep dark tan. I hate the bronzer.
I dont want to spend a lot. I already wasted $15 dollars on that bronzer stuff.
Can someone tell me if Cold Hearted from Carabbean Gold is a good choice? That is one of the lines they sell at the salon. Thanks so much!!!!!!!

Yuck. Anything from Austrailian Gold, Caribbean Gold, or Swedish Beauty is a mess. If you have the natural ability to tan, I would suggest a "base" builder or Step One lotion from Desinger Skin, Nuvobronze, or Fiesta Sun to start with. And you got it right, skip a bronzer unless you cannot get a good tan otherwise. aka albino.......

Neon you sound as though you think everyone feels the same way you do and sometimes you need to think of what your customers want more so than what you want. I can build a great tan without bronzers but believe it or not I LIKE them. And for LilK, Did you ask the girl for a lotion without bronzer? Like someone stated in an earlier post, maybe she just sold you what is the top seller for the price. It does sound as though the girl did not care much but you sometimes get that. You never know when someone else might be having a bad day, I know I have had them a time or two. Don't be afraid to ask questions, it is your skin that you have to worry about.

The woman working there today was so nice, answered all my questions and more.
I bought secret rapture (designer skin) so far I really like it
As for the other girl, I should of been more clear with her about my preference
It was my first time so I was a little confused
