Lotion for Tanning Beds?

[PuppyLovinNurse]

What kind do you use?

I usually use Dolce, but it's so dang expensive. Anyone know of any other good kinds?

I don't like bronzers, but I've been hearing a lot about "tinglers," does anyone use those?

Thanks.

When tinglers came out years ago, Swedish Beauty was the first one (I believe) and I got the darkest I ever got with that! But I think it was stinky? And then I tried another one a couple years ago and ended up throwing it away because it would burn me so bad~! Now I try to stay away from them, but I do think they work the best!
As far as any others, I switch off all the time - I guess I have no favorite

Well, I'm super fair (1/2 Irish, 1/2 Scottish) w/ natural blonde hair & light blue eyes so I burn as it is lol (I only go in for 3 minutes at a time). So I don't need the help of a tingler lmao.

Is there different types of tinglers? I think I saw one type of tanning lotion in mild/hot, but I'm not really sure if that had anything to do w/ the tingler.

Looking up Swedish Beauty...thanks

I use Swedish Beauty Amaretto or Hot Action Coco Butter (the gel, not the thick cream). I have found that the bronzers work best for me. I will use Denimn and Diamonds in a pinch.

Do the bronzers show streaks if you don't get it on perfectly even? That's what I'm worried about...especially because I'm overweight, I'm sure it'd be impossible to get it perfect EVERYWHERE.

I used to work @ a tanning salon/hair salon for several years and now go tanning once a week. Be sure to buy your tanning lotion online if you decide to buy some because it is A LOT cheaper online than in the salon.

You can try these:

www.lotionbarn.com
www.lotionsource.com

You can also try eBay. Brown Envy is a GREAT starting lotion to build a base tan, I swear by it and it smells good too I have been using the Fiesta Sun lotions and I really like them, right now I am using Banaberry Tini by Fiesta Sun It smells just like bananas & berries

Shop around though once you find a lotion you want to get the cheapest price. There is also a great tanning forum, www.iamtan.com, and I found a lot of good info there too!!!

I hate the tingelers. Make me feel like I am frying.

I like the bronzers and bought a good one at walmart.

omg i used a tingler one time and i felt like 1000s of bees were on me and i was going to die but when i got out i didnt look at all dofferent but i felt like i was going to pass out
and the lady sad because it retained the heat or something like that and that i was to hot

if you have fair skin i would NOT recommend anything with a tingler! They are HOT and you come out looking like a lobster!

I like bronzers the best. Not all bronzers show streaks either.. Just make sure if you use a bronzer to wipe your hands and in between your fingers with the towel they give you before you get in the bed and you shouldn't have any problems!

I dont like the Tinglers, they hurt me really bad. You can get the lotions with the less tingle, on the bottle it will say like 1 tingle factor or 2 tingle factor and so on. The 1 tingle factor isnt so bad but still isnt really comfortable. I dont like the bronzers either bc they leave me looking orange like if I just put some of that instant tanning lotion on. It will leave your hands orange really bad if you dont wipe it off. Like Laur Im also using the Bananaberry by FiestaSun and love it. They have a whole line of the Tini's that work great!

You might Laugh at this but go to walmart and in their tanning lotion isle you will find a lotion for indoor and outdoor. It has bronzer in it and works Extremely well! It is called Ocean Potion (xtreme intensifier with instand bronzer) it only costs like $4. Good luck!
