Why Is Tanning Lotion So Expensive?
There are a couple of reasons why indoor tanning lotion is so expensive. If you've never been to a tanning salon before you may be shocked when you get there and they try to talk you into buying a bottle of lotion that's $60, $80 or even $110. It is imperative that you use a lotion on your body during a session in a bed and you can't use the stuff you use outdoors.
Let's start with the secondary reason tanning lotions cost so much. These types of lotions have very special ingredients and their formulas take time to be developed by chemists and scientists. Some of these ingredients include hemp seed oil, tinglers and more commonly added skin bronzers. The use of such unique ingredients in the formulas is one of the reasons why the price jumps to a level that seems very high to most.
The main reason indoor tanning bed lotions are as expensive as they are is... well there isn't really any good reason. The profit margin on lotions is extraordinarily high, much more than most consumer products. The sale of indoor tanning products is a big part of a salon's business model when it comes to the bottom line. However, some tanners dislike the idea of having to pay that much for a consumable product that they'll need to buy again in 2 months. Add that on to the price of tanning itself and you have a pretty decent monthly expense. The good news is that if you have some negotiation skills you can usually become friendly with the salon operator and they'll start giving you nice discounts on bottles of lotion.
Even though it may be very costly we still recommend that you stay away from cheap tanning lotion. This is something you spread over your entire body so it's a good idea to make sure you're using a very high quality product.
you make an awful argument. define ‘tinglers’ — i know what it is and what it feels like but i want to know what it’s chemical compound is and why it is so rare and expensive – hemp seed oil is certainly not ‘unique’ at all and has a base value that dosnt even approach the exorbitant prices that salons boasts. If the ingredients are the same in a cheaper lotion, than clearly it is like buying stop n shop butter or lando lakes butter. exact same ingredients. — different price. choose cheaper!!
The people that pay these high prices at the tanning salons for indoor tanning lotions are crazy!!! What a rip off!!! You can buy these lotions on line, or at Sally’s Beauty Supply for 3.99-8.99. They will not lower the prices on these lotions until people quit buying from them. Then they will lower the price. They charge more for the lotions than they do for the tanning!!!!!
My friend bought a lotion at her tanning salon and they charged her $125.00. She had a bit left so I tried it and loved it. I knew I wasn’t going to spend that kind of money on a lotion when my monthly package was cheaper than the lotion, so I went online and found the same exact lotion for $45.00…when I told her what I paid, she almost fell over!! We have been to that website 4 times now and have a variety of lotions….all with tingle bronzer! Love them!!
I have not used the mentioned product but I use Peau D’ Or sunless tanning solutions. Their ‘Pure Elements’ range is for everyday use which has 3 shades to choose from. These products have deep colour which stays longer and the skin looks healthy and glowing. The products are world class with no visible side effect till date.
I totally agree with this article. Buying the lotions at the salons are such a rip-off!!! Before I knew about this site I used to pay ridiculous amounts of money for the lotions and then would use them so sparingly that I wouldn’t get good results! Buying online is not only economical but there are so many more choices!
