Question Newbie: What to use?

I know you guys get this all the time, so I'm sorry for the redundancy in advance!:-)
I'm..very pale. I do tan, but it takes persistence (going every other day for a month or more) before I can really get any kind of color. Then I still have to go every three days or it starts fading fast.

I used iTan today..and I shouldn't have, because I love it, but cannot afford it. A few times, I used Mixed Up..and while I liked the results, it turned me a little orange and left streaks. No more of that.
In the past, I've used Spellbound, and liked the smell and feel of it, but didn't feel like I was getting great results. Worship Me worked better on the results front, but I didn't care for the smell much. I've also used Bombshell, just on my legs and it was okay, I'm not averse to tingle, but I just started tanning again (only been 4x) so I probably shouldn't do that just yet. It's time for me to buy again, and I'm tempted to just go back to the Spellbound.
Oh..and for what it's worth, the smell of cinnamon (or anything strong and "spicy") gives me a huge headache, so none of that please!:-)
Also: Any tips for this itchiness? OMG! I'm going crazy!

Thanks so much!

Re: Newbie: What to use?

I personally would try one of the newer bronzers by designer skin. Hemphatic is good. Not a heavy bronzer or smell but works great. I also like Melt. Its a bronzer but also warms you!

Re: Newbie: What to use?

if you are itching, you probably have overexposure and need to take a day or two off and lower your tan time by a few minutes and work back up. definitely need some moisturizer for aftertan like angel or krem.

I would start out on a lighter bronzer or something with natural bronzers and build up your tan before you use a strong bronzer like those. it does keep down on streaking.

Designer Skin's Tempest or Monarchy are great lotions. Tempest is a "steam extreme", not a tingler and Monarchy has bronzers, milk and honey based.

Re: Newbie: What to use?

Sama81 if you liked iTan and can't afford the higher price you should use Sexybabe. It's larger bottle with a smaller price point. We have a LOT of repeat clients with Sexybabe.

Re: Newbie: What to use?

Also if you are very pale I wouldn't suggest using lotions with DHA until you've built a base tan. Alpha has lite DHA but you already stated a higher price point isn't good that's why I didn't recommend it. :)
