do you use tanning lotion?

[Get_Swole]

I think im just gonna grab some tanning oil stuff from walmart and be done with it. I know moist skin tans much better so i think this will help me enough. Ive looked at the tanning lotions around and they are just too damn high for me to justify them.

I don't use tanning bed lotions if I do go tan, they usually break me out. My skin is oily anyway, so I want it to dry me out, and then I use Cetaphil which is just a basic non-comodogenic(sp?) lotion, meaning it doesn't clog pores. Good to keep the skin moisturized and maintain your tan longer. I use melanotan II mostly though.

your right cracker... i usually just tan to keep any dots off my back or chest.... and when i use a lotion i sometimes get them worse than before

I use some shit called Dangerously Darker (I know sounds totally gay) but it works well and doesn't smell like a chick. I used to use the shit that had that tingle crap in that made your skin beat red.. This stuff works well, LA Tan sells it and it costs a small fortune $55.. Don't use Tanning oil that is designed for the outside, inside a tanning bed dude, that is a terrible idea and will ether burn your skin or completely dry it out. The inside lotions are designed with moisturizers for inside tanning.. Just spend the cash and get yourself one, it will last a long time if you use small amounts..

Banana Boat after sun lotion is the shit!! I've got a few people using it now, some of them use it as a normal lotion. Nice scent, no oily feeling, and works wonders on your skin. Usually I get burnt of the 4th of July every year... just my day of the year to get burnt I guess. I use the Banana Boat stuff, and I don't peel, my skin stays cool, and my tan is dark as hell.

So the regular banana boat spray on tanning lotion wont work for indoor? Even if i throw on some cocoa butter or something right after? You got a better chance of seeing god then me spending over 50 bucks on fuckin lotion. No offense meant towards anyone that does though.

yea tell me about it, I almost killed the chick at LA Tan when she told me that price.. but I said F it, stuff lasts forever.. It's way overpriced, thats how they make money. Shit probably cost 10 bucks without all the fancy bottles and names on it and graphics.. all I know (and I speak from experience) is anything i've used that was made for outdoor eventually has ended up burning the shit out of my skin and dried it out.. I looked around google a bit and determined doing so was a terrible idea so I went with the indoor stuff and just got taken for the $55.. Give it a try or search around a bit and see what you want to do, but I wouldn't recommend it brotha..

Banana Boat may not, but that Maui Babe natural lotion I posted works great for beds. Doesn't dry me out at all, I've been using it indoors and outdoors without any problems for a while.

Maui Babe ruins The acrylic on tanning beds. All Oil based tanning products do. They work great but it is'nt fair to the buisness owner. Use them in stand-up tanning booths only. The difference in indoor lotions and outdoor lotions is just the oil content.

All my gym has is stand up beds, so that's all I use. I like them better anyway.

I dont tan in those lay down beds. I hate them laying stewing in your own juices just does not appeal to me, much less everyone else thats laid in that bed before you. I know they get cleaned but its still a gross visual.

Buy the lotions online they cost about 60-70% less than if u buy them in the salon.The salons make most of their profits on the lotions by jacking the prices up.Heres a good site http://www.tanninglotionoutlet.com/. I use John Abate Bronzer Cool Tingle.Its the only lotion Ive used that I can really tell a difference.It has a bronzer with tingle and it gets u dark.Every person that Ive had try it says its the best lotion theyve used.It is hot though so b prepared.It costs around $24 online and i use to pay between $65-$85 for it in the salon.But in all u do need to use lotion when u tan if not its kinda of a waste cause your skin wont hold the color.

Same with our gym... I like it better anyways, because you don't have to worry about white spots or burn spots.

I am going to have to try that target brand stuff.

I'll pick some up this week, if you just want to use mine. No sense in both of us wasting the money if it's not great.

 

[Get_Swole]

I just threw on some cocoa butter today before getting in there and it helped alot, i think im just gonna go that route instead of buying tanning lotion. I think it will work just about as good.

 

[Pumping Iron]

let us know how that target stuff works, im curious
