Hey everyone, I just started going tanning in a salon and I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good tanning lotion. I am very very light right now and I don't want to get too dark, I just want a healthy looking natural tan. Also, do i need a seperate lotion for my face? Thanks for the help
I would use Ocean Potion lotions.. just from the grocery store. They smelled very good (like orange & cream)! If you don't want to get super dark, don't use a tingle cream! They always kind of freaked me out since they make you red, but they are supposed to make you darker. I forget who makes it, but there is a kind called Tan 2 Max that I didn't like since it didn't make me as dark as I wanted.. so it might be good for a subtle glow (and it was moisturizing). LA Express also makes some good ones. I got all of these at the drugstore/grocery store.
If you want a more expensive salon brand, I'd go for Hempz. They were really moisturizing and have a lot of great products. They should sell it at the salon and can tell you about the different kinds and which is best for a natural looking tan.
I don't tan at salons anymore.. but I use my leftover lotion as REGULAR lotion and it's great for that too! Especially my LA Express shimmer lotion.. so pretty!
Hoss sauce works great for me. In comes in 'Ultra Dark', 'Super Dark', and 'Dark'. You should probably start out with the 'Dark' one, it's for beginners. It can be used on the face, too.
