    Default tanning lotion flaking/peeling off

    ok, so when i started using the cheap-o lotion i got free when i signed up for my package with hollywood tans, i started getting really dark from the high pressure bed. so i figure ok, if i buy a better lotion i can go less often bc i will get darker. i buy one that the girl recommends, and at first its great. then i realize i'm not getting tan and i'm losing color. last time i noticed it flaking off a bit but didn't pay much attention and just put more on where it happened. today though i come out and its flaking off and peeling on my whole body. and the tan is going with it. it got on my clothes and my purse. i showed the girl and she said she'd tell the owner and see what she said.. but um i am never buying another lotion from them if they dont give me a new (different!) kind free or my money back. this is gross and that's why i havent been getting tan.

    my question is what would make this happen?

    (oh, i forgot to add that the parts where it flaked off feel like there was never any lotion on them in the first place.)

    Is it a bronzer lotion? Or one of those lotions that just supposed to help you tan in a bed? What brand is it? I've never heard of something like that.

    Some lotions with bronzers seem to do this. I think maybe it's if they aren't moisturizing enough. I just tried Rich Sexy Tan which has a bunch of bronzer and I look like a splotchy lizard (except for my very burnt ass).

    What kind of lotion is it (brand and name of lotion)? I've been tanning forever and have used a lot of stuff. If it has tingle, sometimes I'm blotchy right after I get out of the bed, but that goes away.

    I honestly can't think of why that happened...maybe the lotion is just old or expired. I guess if makeup and sunscreen can expire, so can tanning lotion. I'm sorry I'm not more helpful, but that's something I've never come across. Oh, and my favorite lotion brands are Australian Gold (this brand tends to be REALLY moisturizing) and Swedish Beauty. Their lotions are awesome and I've never had a problem.
