Mixing lotions... - tanTALK

cheer4628 · 01-21-2006, 10:50 PM

My boss always mixes her lotions when she tans (mixing as in combining two different lotions and using it on her entire body). She combines Bombshell and Siren and gets sooo dark from it! I’ve heard that you shouldn’t do this though... although I’ve never heard exactly why that is. So my question is: is it true or false that mixing lotions is bad?

and if mixing isn’t bad, what lotions work good together?

Ummmm, not it is not bad..imo. Try it out, a little of this a little of that. A tingle with a bronzer.... experiment.

Mixing is fine, we do it all of the time. You can get some great results when you mix the right ones together. The only thing I can figure that is wrong with what your boss is doing, is using this mixture of Bombshell and Siren everywhere. You should not use the tingles on your face. The skin on the face and neck areas are much more delicate. Other than that, be creative!

As a bald guy i find the tingles work best on head to get same results as body tanning. As far as mixing...yes do it all the time...even throw some straight moisterizer in there for even smoother lotion.

Mixing lotions can give great results, I would recommend sticking within the same lines when mixing. not always but sometimes it can be a little nasty when mixing two different lines! Good Luck!

Love the mix. We call it the house special. The clients that have been around for along time, some times ask for the special.
