Need Help choosing a lotion - tanTALK

mrsscarlet · 09-29-2006, 01:31 PM

I am very new to indoor tanning and have not quite found a lotion that seems to work well for me. I am pretty pale on my stomach and legs but I have a base tan on my arms and face. Which lotions have really good bronzers and moisturizing abilities? I tend to have pretty dry skin. And paying good money for a good lotion is not a problem. I just don't want to spend $$$ on something that isn't worth it at all! Thanks for any help you can provide!

why not ask your salons staff. we could recommend something they dont even carry!

Try Designer Skin Spellbound.. great Bronzers wont leave you streaky + it has Silicone Emulsion that will help keep your skin smooth and hydrated. $91.82 this is my best selling lotion. a customer favorite.

I tan at planet beach, and the usual girl there recommended 2 bottles - Cheeky Brown and one of their lotions - neither of which have done much for me. I was a bit streaky afterwards.

If you want to try a lotion withought a bronzer go with California Tans CT7. around $119

cheeky brown is a beginner lotion. I prefer Designer Sking products. Spellbound is ok imo, i like Fortune or Worship Me. If you are going with AG, I'd go with Almost Famous or Free Spirit, those are good sellers here. But yeah, talk to your salon staff and tell them what you want and they will help you.

if they sell AG they most likely sell SB go with simply divine or like nige said spellbound by DS....

simply devine didnt' go over well here

Thanks for your help! I am pretty sure they carry Spellbound! Any suggestions for an after tanning moisturizer ?

If you're going with the DS line try Angel or Undercover Angel. Check out the fragrances first.
