hey tnewcom

Welcome to Tantalk.. well the question you asked really has no answer, it all depends on the tanner and what he/she likes....
First off: Do you like Tingle?
Do you like Bronzers?
Do you like both?
If so how strong of a tingle, etc.... there are many factors that go into a good tanning lotion.... and lotions range in prices...

have never used any of those that do that. Tomorrow will be my first time tanning.

Ooooh boy! To start go with Emerald Bay Dark N Dazed, Synergy Dark Envy or Powertan Dark Start. Welcome to our world!

I would suggest Hempz Dark Tanning Maximizer Australian Gold's Accelerator or Velocity. All work great for building a base tan in my opinion and the Hempz is the one I am personally using right now; great coolling sensation and smell! Some might not agree with my choices, but that's the beauty o this board! welcome aboard and keep us updated!

When you work up to a tingle, the best lotion is Privtae Reserve!

I recommend you start with A California Tan Step one product.. Ganja works well ($42) ... or if you want to jumpstart your tan try Hot Chocolate... You should always use a step 3 ( moisturizer product) Total Immersion works wonderful (Retails around $18)... And remember bar soaps are bad (clog pores, dry skin etc..) So if you can try Total Submersion for your showers... Find a professional salon, where they can skin type you and make some lotion suggestions... (Help you along the way!)

BoDy Drench? My local WOW store ($1) has BodY Drench and spray distinguisher for $1. I remember Body Drench a few years ago as being "hot" Please no flames. I am a newbie who is cheap. I bought the product remembering the name from years ago. Anyone have an opinion?

Tnewcom,

Save your money and don't go for the expensive lotions- they're not necessary. You can get a basic inexpensive lotion with a good moisturizing agent that will do the trick. The body is equipped to tan all by itself; it's been doing exactly that for millions of years....all those lotions with things like "tingle", "bronzers" and all those fancy ingredients (which read like a menu!) are just marketing gimmicks. Your only concern should be to stay hydrated throughout the tanning process, both externally (with the moisturizer ) and internally (drink lots of water). Do this and you will tan fine.
