Asked by Kas37 13 months ago

Details:

I've Google searched a bunch and pretty much can only find websites that are trying to sell their lotions. I'm in search of an unbiased opinion. I really just wanted to find a true "Top 10 or 20 best tanning lotions" list. Like consumer reports or something like that. And I don't mean self/sunless tanners or outdoor sunscreens, I'm talking about tanning lotions that are specifically made for tanning beds. My salon has so many to choose from, some MUCH more expensive than others, I'm never sure which is the best one to go with! I think the top one that's sold at my salon is Designer Skin Black 20x, for around $100. Are the expensive ones really worth it? I guess I'm basically curious about seasoned tanners advice/experience with tanning lotions. Or if you know a website that lists actual lotions that are top rated, that would be perfect! Thanks

"The best indoor tanning bed lotion is the Australian Gold Crystal XII."

Best Indoor Tanning Lotions
1. Australian Gold Crystal XII

Australian Gold is a respected name in tanning, only selling its products at tanning salons. Crystal XII is part of the company's super-premium Ultra line. 12 bronzers ensure a quality tan, and the trademarked BodyBlush Blend gives skin an instant shimmering glow.

2.California Tan Ionyx Bronzer

California Tan is a popular salon-quality brand, and Ionyx Bronzer promises an ultra-dark tan. The whipped lotion provides increased moisturizing. In addition, a time-release formula keeps the moisture coming.

3.Swedish Beauty Pink Diamond

Swedish Beauty is known for its line of "tingle tan" products. Thanks to the ingredient benzlye nicatinate, the lotion increases circulation for better tanning results. Skin will tingle, feel warm, and appear flushed. However the tingling feeling means that these aren't the best indoor tanning lotions for everyone. Buyers are encouraged to test the product on a small area before using it for full-body tanning. In addition to its tingling properties, Pink Diamond includes Firmtone Blend to prevent wrinkles and firm the skin.

4.Australian Gold Almost Famous Darkest Triple Bronzer with Hemp

If you don't want to pay the price for a product from the Ultra line or you just don't need that level of performance, consider Almost Famous from Australian Gold's mid-range Best line. The lotion's melanin booster promises five to eight days of dark color. LipoCare blend firms and guards against wrinkles.

5.Designer Skin Tao Bronzer Indoor Tanning Salon Tan Lotion for Men and Women

For a more premium product, consider Tao Bronzer. Avocado oils and vitamins A, C, and E nourish while firming agents improve the texture of your skin. Consumer reviews tout the lotion's pleasant smell, moisturizing properties, and a noticeable change in color after only one use.

6.Swedish Beauty Chocolate Silk

For those who want their tan to shine through without cosmetic enhancement, Chocolate Silk provides a bronzer-free tanning lotion. Aloe and Japanese green tea extract moisturize and fight wrinkles. This product is also from Swedish Beauty's non-tingle line of lotions.

7.California Tan MaxLotion

Maxlotion is a basic, no-frills tanning lotion from a trusted manufacturer. The product is designed for building a base tan either indoors or outdoors. It offers versatility that many of the best indoor tanning lotions can't provide and features a fresh jasmine scent.

8.Paint It Black 50X Auto-Darkening Dark Tanning Lotion

With 12 customer reviews at Amazon.com, Paint It Black 50X has averaged 4.5 out of 5 stars. Its bronzing and accelerating components lead to a markedly darker tan, and the lotion's silicone blend is highly moisturizing. Less satisfied customers mentioned that the results did not last long after leaving the tanning bed. However, even some of these users were willing to use the product along with an additional bronzer solely because of its ability to moisturize.

9.Designer Skin Secret Stash

Secret Stash comes from Designer Skin's budget line, Splash! Tanning Tonics. However, the lower price doesn't mean decreased tanning performance. Streak-free bronzers instantly enhance your tan. Hemp seed oil offers the ultimate in moisturizing and leads to the lotion's playful name and package design.

10.Australian Gold Crystal Faces

In addition to being another product in the Ultra line, Crystal Faces is unique in focusing on helping tanners achieve the perfect level of facial tan. Bronzers add immediate, long-lasting color, and a silicone base results in a silky feel.

11.Hawaiian Tropic Tan2 Max Indoor Deep Tanning Lotion

Hawaiian Tropic is a name most consumers can trust, as they have seen their products on drugstore shelves for years. Hypoallergenic and non-greasy, Tan Max has garnered five-star user reviews on sites such as Amazon.com. Its affordable price is great for tanners on a budget. However, the lotion's consistency is more liquid than others, so some tanners find that they prefer a creamier brand.

Some good recommendations here:
Although you will compare tanning bed lotions by the dozens, The Tanning Info Center put a list together on some of the better brands to consider. According to the center, Swedish Beauty products are wonderful. They smell great, reminding you of being in the tropics, and they work. The special formula is designed to enhance your tan by using quality moisturizers, vitamin complexes, and what they refer to as "Tingle Power." Some of the favorites include Unforgiven, a great bronzer, Pine Diamond, produces a tingling sensation, Simply Divine, perfect for a deep tan, and Endless, offering a sweet fragrance.

Another brand of tanning lotions is from the Australian Gold - Colorology Line. Some of the specific lotions people love includes My Passion, which is designed with a triple action, anti-aging formula, Bearly Legal, a dark tan accelerator, Sun Dreams, an excellent bronzer that is made with hemp, Free Spirit, both immediate and delayed bronzer that has a gentle hint of roses, berries, and vanilla, Body Kisses, tanner with moisturizer and the scent of lavender and melon, and Forever After, a 24-hour tan extender and moisturizer, among others.

Caribbean Gold is yet another line of tanning bed lotions that they consider truly amazing. They say that with this, you will enjoy a light fragrance that has a hint of floral. The ingredients are specially combined to condition, moisturize, protect, and nourish the skin while being tanned. Because of this, you would enjoy the rich golden tan you long for without adding on lines and wrinkles. Additionally, all of this line is hypoallergenic, and has a soothing aloe base.

Finally, there is the Boss line of tanning bed lotions, creams, and oils. These formulas are all wonderful, producing a great tan. For example, you might try the bronzer made with hemp seed oil, one called Cool Blast, which creates the sensation of a cool breeze, Boss Zest that contains an excellent moisturizer, and much more. As you can see, your options are tremendous. Just choose the type of tanning lotion that matches your skin type and your tanning desires.

Honey, please. Not to sound rude, but if you are 56, you do not look 24. Even if you didn't use a tanning bed, you would still not look 24.
