Confused about which lotion to use.

rehtaeh73 · 03-17-2006, 09:50 PM

I am so confused about which lotion to use. I really hate to spend $7 each time for a different sample and would like to find one that truly fits what I want and for my skin type. Blonde, blue eyes, light skin, somewhat sensitive with a few freckles, burn easy, but I do eventually tan although light. I don't want a lotion with bronzers or tingle and would prefer something with anti-aging and skin firming. Am I asking for too much? LOL

Designer Skin Dolce & Rapture are good. I like CT7 the best. There are lots of really good straight accelerators out there.

Fiji Tantric. Yum.

Halo-Designer Skin, if you can stand the smell.

Hey rehtaeh, i am basically the same thing except with redder hair. I used Halo like Cayenne just suggested to build up my base tan for a while since it has the SPF4 to extremely reduce the burning. It took my near 1 month to build up my base tan without burning. So ya just gotta take it slow, especially with the skin type you have.

I started my base tan with Bolero and JA Babie. Took me 2 weeks to get it and I have blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. I done 6 minutes a day on my bed for the first week and then jumped up to full time (12min) the second week. I am really dark now but just hit the plateau where I am trying everything to go one step further.

You should be using the Babie as an after tan lotion as well as a before lotion. Just the most unbelievable longest lasting tan ever. Melaplus is also a fantastic skin conditioner/tanning lotion/after tan that's really nice too and not as expensive as Babie.

I tend to like lotions without bronzers in them. But I do switch it up a lot. Right now I'm loving inbed yoga. It's new and I'm really impressed with the ingredients. I'm hooked on it because I noticed a difference in my tan.

didnt' even know that the inbed was available yet.
