Need some recs. for lotion that will get me dark. - tanTALK

GLo8212 · 07-30-2004, 04:53 PM

Hi, I am medium toned, and have previously used Cal Tan Ambrosia Dark bronzer. I haven't tanned in a couple months, and would like to try something new. I want to get dark, it doesn't have to be immediate, but just a nice rich dark tan. I'm looking into Swedish Beauty Dangerously Dark, SB chocolate indulgence, and Cal Tan X Power bronzer. What gets you/your clients really dark? Thanks in advance for you help!!

Dangerously Dark is pretty good (coolant, light bronzer). X-Power has a heavy bronzer in it, so that in itself turns me away from that.

I agree, I think Dangerously Dark would be the one that I would pick out of the choices you offered. It wouldn't be the lotion I would pick otherwise. I don't care for CalTan Power or Speed, nor do I like the smell of the Chocolate Indulgence. If you already have a base tan, any step two will help you. Personally, I would chose not only a bronzer or accelerator but a tingle as well. Switch them up and you'll get a nice tan.

Dangerously Dark is a great product, but I would also try Worship or Believe by Designer Skin. They have great bronzers.

SB Dangerously Dark...great results..

Believe is awesome. I had a customer deny lotion because she had just returned from the islands and said there was no way she could get any darker. We gave her a free....small...sample. It was just enough to cover her body minus one leg, she saw such a difference she purchased two bottles, one for her and one for her daughter.

Dangerously Dark all the way!!

Designer Skin Siren seems to be the best seller at my salon, people rave about how dark it gets them and and the fact that the tingle seems to be offset, at least a little, by the cooling factors in the lotion, also has a fairly dark bronzer.

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.
