How many times do you guys recommend using a bronzer in a row, before alternating with something else? I am heavy into bronzers these days but I'm afraid I'm going to turn myself orange slowly without realizing it.

I'm currently using Dark Sexy Tan, Pure Chocolate, and Beach Bum Rum in my rotation. I have HOT, Platinum Zero, Cappuccino, and Creme Brulee for non-bronzing lotions.

This is just my opinion, but I would think you would only turn "orange" if it was not a true "bronzer". For instance, if you are using products that have DHA in them that really stay on your skin for days.

JA bronzers are brown and wash off so I have never heard of anyone turning orange. I am not saying all or any products with DHA are going to cause you to be orange, but since some of the products have DHA in it and at all different levels, you may not know how it is going to react with your skin.

If you are continuing to get good color from what you are using, i don't see a big reason to change. But, if you do like bronzers, without DHA in them, you might try JA Cote d'azur Chocolait et framboises or Chocolait a l'orange.

I personally have never been a fan of bronzers. But this year when JA came out with Bronzer Tingle 4, I fell in love with it by accident. I have been very lazy the past couple of months and haven't tanned but 4 times. Today I tanned with the JA bronzer 4 and I look as though I have been tanning steady for weeks.

And I have found that the longer I leave the lotion on after tanning the better the result.

I am a bronzer junkie, pretty much all the lotions I use have bronzer. I haven't turned orange yet so I don't think that I will. I think as long as they aren't DHA bronzers you're okay.

Mitzi :
I love the bronzer tingle factor 4. I was almost scared to use it because the lotion is very dark but after one use I was hooked. I mostly use this on special occasions when I want to be really dark ( almost like another race) and it works great. Definitly love it!

Yes bayb. I probably would never tried it had I not picked it up by accident on day and was already undressed before I realized what I had. I really do love the results!

that's the thing.... the lotions I use all have DHA in them....

I guess I'll keep mixing it up between bronzer/non-bronzer and cross my fingers.

Do bronzers require UV rays to "activiate" the bronzing agent?

Does this differ between DHA and non-DHA bronzers?

okay, maybe I'm a little slow on this.

I understand how DHA bronzers work. I have no problem using them and have had very few problems with streaking or whatever.

I understand what a cosmetic bronzer does, I think... It's like a tint in the lotion that gives your skin the appearance of being darker than it is...... until you take a shower. (which is what I would do if I was headed out somewhere so I don't get the point of these)

It's the other talk about "bronzers" that has me stumped. Non-DHA, non-cosmetic bronzers-- what the heck are they? Special chemicals that are supposed to promote a darker tan? Or are they something magical that also gives a darker color in a manner similar to DHA? Everyone raves about JA Bronzer but if it's a cosmetic bronzer, doesn't it wash off right away?
