“Beat the system”? I am personally insulted. We are the people that cater to sun-savvy people. If lotions are more expensive in a “Province or State certified indoor tanning salon” that’s because we paid premium price for it. Do you really think these huge manufacturers give us some kind of massive discount? NOT!

I bought some cheap lotion that WalMart carried for indoor tanning. It was awful! The lotion turned my hands brown, I had to start putting it on with latex gloves… The smell after I laid in the tanning bed was horrible! I eventually just started laying without any lotion at all until I could afford to buy some new, better lotion!

I can really relate to this!! My first time going tanning was a couple days ago and I used a cheap tannin lotion! As a result i did not get tanned, how ever I did get red. I used a spay on oil/lotion, I forgot what it’s called because my friend bought it. She told me she bought it for 8 dollars, the lotions they has at the store was 40 dollars and higher. I thought to my self I’m already paying for tanning theirs no way I’m paying 40 for a lotion. But now after I read this article it made me raise that after all it is my body and no matter how expensive I buy a lotion for tanning in the end it would not leave my face red but it will leave me with a perfect tan

I can totally agree about not using cheap tanning lotion, i purchased a $15.00 bottle at wal-mart and it felt so watery & i couln’t see any good results in a week of using it. Went to the tanning bed & purchased a $30.00 bottle and could instantly see results after my couple of visits. So the saying is true, “you do get what you pay for”..

When trying to achieve that sexy tan I highly suggest staying away from cheap tanning lotions, especially ones found at your local drugstore such as Hawaiian Tropic’s T2 Max Deep Tanning Lotion. I found out the hard way when I first started tanning at my local tanning salon. I purchased a bottle of the T2 Max Lotion and used it for three days in a row. Needless to say I became orange! Ever since then I stick with brands such as Designer Skin or Australian Gold and have been able to achieve a beautiful dark tan!

Buying tanning lotion is a very hard thing to do. Almost as hard as buying shoes! U do wanna stay away from the cheap stuff anything $20 and below is a bad idea. I’m not saying go out there and spend $150 on tanning lotion. When looking for a good tanning lotion you have to find that out yourself due to the fact that everybody’s skin reacts differently to different kinds so sample some here and there then see which one you like best!

The first time I ever bought lotion I didn’t buy it at a tanning salon. I decided to buy a lotion because my friends who also tanned were all talking about their lotions and they were all SOO dark!! But when I went to look at the lotions and the cheapest was like $50. I walked out. I didn’t know how long I’d continue to tan I was mainly doing it for prom. But anyways to make a long story short. It didn’t do anything!! and I love tanning!! (: So I went a head a bought a Designer Skin lotion. It changed my tanning experience!

My advice would be to try the sample packets and when you find the one that works best for you then go online and purchase your lotion there to save $$$

I’ve just started tanning and was shocked that that salon was charging 139 for just one bottle of tanning lotion so I ended up purchasing a bottle for $40 and ended up turning orange from where I had not blended it in “good” enough. After some research online I was able to get the top quality lotions for prices that are more in my price range that salons were charging over $100 for.

You need to get a good quality lotion, this doesn’t mean you have to spend 100 bucks on lotion. It all depends one the brand, ingredients, and kind of lotion. I have tried some non-expensive lotions that worked better then some very expensive ones. I have also tried some drug store brands lotion that make me break out, turn orange they are a disaster in a bottle. Here is some of the less expensive ones – oc-next big thing 55x tan factor, trinity3- tingle devoted creations, Australian gold- sinfully black, that is just a couple and they work really well for not a wallet draining lotion i hope you find this review useful – Kain anderson
