Lotion for semi newb - tanTALK

ganguro_chan · 11-14-2005, 08:53 PM

I have Drama Queen.. I used Shameless & Ultimate Love Junkie.. I'm still pretty pale & I think I need a bronzer that won't turn a pale girl orange.

Thank you!

And you have tanned how many times in what equipment for what length of time?

ganguro_chan · 11-14-2005, 09:56 PM

Base bed, 8 minutes? the tanning salon near my house is terrible about time; they say smart tan certified YET everyone gets 20 minutes...

Try Matahari Dark Sexy.

Many entry level beds (base beds) are 20 minutes. And if you are going in a 20 min bed for 8 min, that could be your problem.

Find a new salon.

It's quite possible this poster is MORE cautious than the salon staff. Regardless of 10 min or 20 min beds, a newbie should never be in it for MORE than the skin can take safely.

Newbie, if you are tanning 8 mins once a week, you are only getting 'light therapy'. Warm, relaxed for a few mins.

If you want to get actual color / a tan -- you need to schedule your sessions seriously for the first week or so to get the melanin stimulated.

If your salon cannot take the time to discuss this with you, 86 em and find a new one. It may cost more for a quality salon - but well worth it.

Agreed - find a new salon. Also, you might check out IamTan . It's the sister-site to Tantalk and is geared toward tanners, and they have a lotion review section that will help you determine which bronzers are darker than others.

We still haven't heard about skin type have we. Maybe this salon needs to be cautious?

Everyone gets 20 minutes? Maybe they have great base tans already???

ganguro_chan, you need to give us more details.........
