Shea butter and tanning?? - tanTALK

gray05 · 03-25-2005, 11:09 AM

I am new here--- just started tanning in a tanning bed--- I bought some lotion-- L.A. Express-- Espresso-- from Wal Mart-- the items in the salon are completely out of my price range unfortunately-- is this an okay product to use?? I am only interested in getting a base tan-- I go three times a week and will do this for no more than 20 visits

LA EXPRESS does not come off the beds. Please don't use it.

Don't bring that crap to the salons.... If you're going to be cheap just Tan Outdoors!!!

I agree SolTan... I'd rather not use lotion at all... I just saw one of these in the stores that was TINGLE factor 3! That should be enough to scare them into not using it... Can you imagine not knowing what tingle is and using it and the reaction afterward. THAT WOULD BE PRICELESS...

I don't mind if someone tans here without my lotion just please be a nationally recognized brand. Not some drugstore garbage.

I priced some of the Wally World crap and it's in the same price range as some of the lower end products.

Like I tell the customers that bring that crap to my salon.. I say...."If you had a Porshe would you put Cheap 87 Thrifty GAS"?????? No response... Exactly what I mean ... We the owners would end up paying for the damage acrylics cause of cheap bottom feeders... But again some people don't care!!!!

I can't imagine not being able to justify one of the cheaper lotions at the salon. I'd sure appreciate it atleast. But what can ya say... Some people

i totaly support my salon and only buy from the salons. Anyways do you really think wAL-mart cares what type of tan you get? Or more importantly servicing to your skin care needs?, they only care about the almight $$$$$ anyways .. not only does your salon know and have more knowledge in it but you are supporting them and letting them know you care and understand / trust me they greatly app. that even if your a first time user , we all were .. i am:D Even if your 16 to 60 if ya got the $ to go tan , im sure ya can pinch a few extra pennies for the lotion and suport your salon.. and most import. its your beauty and well being they look out for .. im not sure''old wally '' cares... BESIDES IF YA GONNA GO ALL OUT GIRL do it with style..AND HAPPY TANNING...XOXOX
