    If you tan, what kind of lotion do you use?

    I am trying to find the best bronzer tanning lotion. I don't want to use a tingle because I don't like the way it makes me feel and look afterwards. My problem is for some reason I get darker, but I get a reddish tint to my skin and not a bronze skin tone like I would like to have. I figured I will try one of those expensive bronzers and see if they work better than the ocean potion bronzer I got from wal-mart. I am thinking about getting either Australian Gold's "Almost Famous", Supre's "Smoke", Breeze's "Double The Bronzer", or Designer Skin's "Worship". Have any of you used any of these? What do you guys or girls think is the best bronzing lotion to use?

    I've never heard of that stuff before, but I read about it and it looks like it would work really well. My only problem is that I get a reddish tan and not a bronze color tan so hopefully this will help me get more of a brown tan than reddish.

    i've used the "worship" one that you mentioned...it was bought for me, and i had never tried a lotion with a bronzer before...

    but i will say this, i haven't tried too many lotions, but i definitely got better results with this stuff...i was pretty happy with how tan i got, considering i usually just burn then fade to white.

    1. Once a cheat always a cheat!
    2. YES, SHE can get pregnant the first time!
    3. NO, PULLING out IS NOT a RELIABLE method of Birth Control. DAMMMMIT..... Wrap that shyte UP!!

    Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

    For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

    Hmmm if its your first time....I would not go too long...you need to let your skin get used to it. For me... if I get "bulb burn" it usually itches more than it is red.

    When I start tanning after having not tanned for a while I usually start at 10 min and work my way up...but I'm very fair skinned. Ask the salon what they suggest for your skin type.

    It really depends on the bed and how new the bulbs are. 15 with your skin type is probably ok....if you get a lot of itching...you'll know it was too long.

    I use Neutrogena Body Oil. I tan more evenly with it and I like to get very dark when I tan.

    I think I might go ahead and try the Almost famous or maybe even the Maui Babe and hopefully I got a browner tan than that reddish tint I get.
