I have been tanning on and off for years. I love it in the winter after I work out. Sweaty, cold, sweaty. So far I have found a new lotion -Smile you're tan, with a big yellow smiley face. It smells decent and doesn't make me feel grimey afterward. I hate the tinglers and the pinkers - they cause your sub dermal capillaries to dialate and they make me itch. They make you look rosey (flushed) at first but they really upset my skin. I take an injectible medication which leaves nastey red spots on my butt, thighs, arms and belly -the tan helps cover them but the initial tanning process causes them to swell and become very red. I ALWAYS wear my goggles!!!! If there is a rubber band, take it off and lay the goggles over your eyes. I move mine in tiny increments throughout the tanning process. I just bought some that are individual globes, you just lay them over each eye. Most tanners offer 'blinkies' which are stick on, see through eye protectors. |
