Pardon me for cheating...but I'm gonna have to post a link on this one (it comes from TanTalk's sister site - IamTan - which is geared more toward actual tanners).

That should answer the lotion types part of your question.
As for what works best...that depends on the level of tan you already have. If you have a base tan, then tingles provide a good kick. Bronzers should also be reserved for those who already have base tans, and they give you added color from the same ingredients as you would find in sunless tanner (they fade in a few days). If you're just starting out, go with an accelerator and save the others for later on.

If you're wondering why....check out the following link for an indepth explaination (also from IamTan ):

Hope this helps!

Do you tan? Try going to a salon and trying some of the ones they suggest, and see what you think. Buy packettes - that way you can try several.

In general, regular accelerators sell the best. Tingles are somewhat on their "way out" (different markets react differently of course, but I wouldn't stock more than a few) and coolants haven't done that much (especially with newer beds where you don't actually get "hot" with all the great fans/air). Bronzers are on the upswing this year.

Some favorites - Matahari Dark & Sexy Legs, Designer Skin Ray of Light/Halo/Siren/Drama Queen/, Emerald Bay Dark & Dazed/Bronzing Blizzard/Sunburst Sorbet, Cal Tan Hempology/Liquidox/almond spice/beach bum rum, Zoe Girl Pushing the Limits/Stretching the Truth/Getting Even.

Look for a range of price points. But ultimately, customers will buy what you RECOMMEND, so stock lotions you believe in!
