Can someone help me with lotions?? - tanTALK

Hi, Im new at this. The girl at the salon sold me a lotion with bronzer in it "you Wish" Caribbean Gold and I don't like it.
I want something with out bronzer, just regular tanning lotion that'll help me build a deep dark tan and moisturize. Any suggestions? All these tanning lotions confuse me, they're seem to be SO many of them!! I just want a tan!! ;P

They sold you a bronzer, in my opinion to make a buck and/or make up for the fact that their units tan poorly. I hate bronzers, and will sell them to borderline albinos only.

Oh great! So now I have to worry about weather or not Im waisting my money on some poopooty salon that has poopooty units. I'm new at this so I have no clue, you know? How long should it take for me to see results? Actually the bronzer was the cheapest lotion they had! No suggestions on a lotion huh?

One of the best plain Accelerator's there is is FijiBlends' Tantric.

John Abate has a product out called UltraViolet without tingle that is also a great accelerator with no bronzer and great moisturizer beads.

Thanks Sherin. Will I have to switch lotions once I build my tan or can I stick with the same one?

I think as long as you keep your skin hydrated, the same lotion will work just fine. Most people seem to like changing their lotions for some reason, but it's not a requirement. Your Professional Tanning Salon Owner/Associate should be best able to point you in the direction of a lotion that fits your preferences and skin type.

Don't jump to conclusions LilK about their beds being poop. Bronzers are the biggest selling tanning lotions on the market...she was probably just selling you what is popular in their salon. Some people like bronzers...some don't. Now you know you don't like them & you can let her know the next time you purchase a lotion.

Dear LilK,

Go to my website and get a free sample of Zulmani. It is an accelerator and moisturizer for your skin wihtout any bronzing agents in it. If you like it, then maybe your salon will pick it up for you. By the way, it smells great too!

Try CT7 by California Tan- It is an accelerator/maximizer with no bronzers. It will moisturize your skin as well. It is a great lotion. Next time, sample some lotion before you buy it. This way you can figure out what you like before you spend the money on a bottle. Good Luck!
