Hi Folks, I have something really bizzare to share, and I hope someone can solve my problem:

When I use non-tingle lotions, I get an even tan, and everything's good.

When I use tingle, I get white spots (doesn't darken as much as surrounding area) immediately after tanning, as if there's tinea. It's always in the same spots, and I spread lotion as evenly as possible.

i've been treated for tinea and it's definitely gone. Just got back from a dive trip and i'm totally brown all over with no white spots. It's just the tingle lotions (tried MANY) that do this to me.

Perhaps my peripheral vasodilation from tingle is not even? But how can that be? lol

hope someone can help me solve this mystery, thanks!

Come on!

It's very nice of you to cut and paste the definition of vasodilation, but why did u need to do that?

"Come on" to what?

since we're cutting and pasting, I did a google search and cut the first link that popped up:

summary if you can't be bothered to read: you can increase blood circulation to the skin by applying something onto it, that causes vasodilation. This abstract merely tells you what's more effective in different areas of the body, for diabetics to increase circulation to the skin.

Résumé / Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the vasodilation induced by topical application of methyl nicotinate (MN) and to compare it with the vasodilatory response to acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in healthy subjects and diabetic neuropathic patients. Research design and methods: Ten diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy (DN) and 10 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects (C) were enrolled. The vasodilatory response to topical application of 1% MN and a placebo emulsion at the forearm and dorsum of the foot skin at 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min was measured using Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging. The vasodilatory response to iontophoresis of 1% ACh and 1% SNP solutions was also evaluated. Results: The maximal vasodilatory response to ACh, SNP and MN was similar at the forearm and foot level in the diabetic patients. In the control group, the responses to MN, ACh and SNP were similar on the forearm but in the foot, the MN vasodilatory response was higher when compared to the ACh and SNP responses. MN-related vasodilation was present 5 min after the application, reached its peak at 15-30 min and declined to pre-application levels 120 min afterward. Conclusions: Topical application of MN at the forearm and foot levels of diabetic neuropathic patients results in skin vasodilation that is comparable to the maximal vasodilation that can be induced by iontophoresis of ACh or SNP and lasts for less than 2 h. Further studies will be required to explore the potential of MN to increase blood flow and to prevent diabetic foot problems in clinical practice.Revue / Journal Title

Tinae is always there. tingles agrivate it and make it flair up. I love tingles but cant use them on my arms sine it will flair it up on me. I dont get the spots any other time than when I use tingle.

engfant

try a less crazy tingle. Sometimes it can look VERY SPOTTY with some tingles.

I was being a bit sarcastic at the verbiage.

Check this out! I use to have 3 clients that instead of using a tingle lotion they would have me do a dry body brush session on them instead ! I know it sounds kinda odd but you should see the results.. I still do body brushing, but no longer offer the UV tanning, so they go elsewhere for the UV part. I know its a bit off topic but they are alternatives to lotions. The brushing increases the bloodflow near the skin and also offers superior exfolation benifets as well!! Just a thought!! Might work for you!
