    Default Best tanning lotion when using a bed

    I'm going to start taning in a bed for about only two months. Had an expierience last year where chlorine took off my mystic, and looked all patchy at the water park.

    Anyway, what are the best tanning bed lotions you ladies have used? I'm not trying to get very dark, just a bit glowy. I've tanned in a bed before, years ago, and I guess it was the lotion I was using (can't remember) but I looked orange, and it didnt even have a bronzer in it. I'd like a nice brown color, but not too dark.

    Thanks,
    Fawn

    Hawain tropic or Australian gold (think that's the name) are concdiered the best tannig lotions.. A bronzer gives you an immediate glow, but the bronzer washes off, so don't be surprised... I say go with whatever is the darkest tan you can find without tingler.. Tingler brings the blood to the skin and can make your skin look patchy.. Make sure you start at a few minutes in the bed (between 10-12 in a regular) or you will burn and then the tan won't come out evenly or you might peel.
    Ask the people at the desk of the tanning place what they would recommend, check out their tan to see what you would prefer.

    I've always liked Swedish Beauty. It never gave me an orangey hue. I'm going to start tanning again and I'll probably stick with the swedish beauty.

    well I used Swedish Beauty Chocolate something today. BUT, I did find an old tube of Matahari Sexy Tan in my bathroom drawer. I got it when I was doing the "double whammy" (tanning bed then mystic tan immediately after) I was told it's ok to use before mystic because it doesn't have aloe vera gel in it. Something to keep in mind if you decide to use mystic again.

    swedish beauty tingles. Those work the best for me.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    I've been using this stuff called CFX level 2 maximizer + bronzer. It has caffeine, creatine, and guarana in it. Works as well as any of the tanners.

    The tingle works well but it makes my sensitive skin itch and burn like crazy!

    X is my fav when starting to get a good base tan.. no niacin and great bronzer.. ill then go to step 2 X and when that doesnt make me darker i use bombshell (lots of niacin and caffeine which helps with cellulite).. DARK DARK DARK... DARK... but it takes me a good 5-6 weeks of tanning before ill move onto Bombshell because im always scared of burning my irish/norwegian/(something else that helps me tan) skin...

    I'll add another one into the mix! lol

    I use Dark Sexy Tan by Matahari (I think), and have always had great results with it.

    I love Cappuchino (sp?) lotion it is in a tall gold bottle. It smells so yummy and makes my skin feel incredibly soft and smooth. The only problem is it doesn't have a bronzer in it so you don't get the immediate effect. I also love Swedish Beauty products they are great!
