Most of the time when you read a review it is also written by the same people trying to sell that product. That means they will probably be giving you a biased opinion. It is hard to find an honest review, let alone identify them. You may see some clever and catchy names that will make you want to grab a bottle of lotion and start lathering up, but before you fall for a clever marketing campaign first get to know what is inside the bottle and who made it. First know your own individual level of endurance. Are you an experienced tanner that has hit their plateau and just can't get past that one shade, or are you new to tanning and have yet to get into a tanning bed.

It is hard to find an honest review, let alone identify them. You may see some clever and catchy names that will make you want to grab a bottle of lotion and start lathering up, but before you fall for a clever marketing campaign first get to know what is inside the bottle and who made it. First know your own individual level of endurance. Are you an experienced tanner that has hit their plateau and just can't get past that one shade, or are you new to tanning and have yet to get into a tanning bed. The best advise can be to read the label. Most labels will say right on them if they are intended for experienced tanners or not and you should certainly know if you are or are not. Most labels will say right on them if they are intended for experienced tanners or not and you should certainly know if you are or are not. For those of you that are new at this you should know that tanning beds are intense and tanning lotions are made to enhance that experience. Indoor tanning lotions can do a number of different things depending on the ingredients in the bottle. Some indoor tanning lotions only moisturize the skin. Others actually help you develop the tan you are getting from the tanning bed. Some people are confused about indoor tanning lotions and self tanners or, sunless tanning lotions. Sunless tanning lotions are not meant to be used in a tanning bed. It is a good idea to ask the tanning salon attendant about which lotions to use before getting in to the tanning bed. Some tanning lotions are made with a "sizzle" which will cause a reddening of the skin that can last from one to several hours depending on your skin and tanning length. These lotions are not intended for your face. Some are made specifically for the face like California Tan's new CT Seven Face.Some are made just for your legs. Other lotions are made for all over with a cooling agent that may make the experience more comfortable since it does get hot under the lamps.Hopefully you are also following your tanning session with a good moisturizer as well. Using a good moisturizer after your tanning session will help your tan last longer and be darker. The latest CT Seven Bronzer Maximizer Step2 is said to be the best you can get. Whether you are maintaining a fabulous tan or are getting a great base before the summer, California Tan knows tanning and stays consistently at the top of the market. Designer Skin products are also top notch and I recommend them as well. For the those of you who are new at this, take it slow. Tans look best when achieved gradually by starting with just a few minutes to prime your skin. Use a quality lotion and be sure to moisturize afterward. Understand that 5 minutes can make a difference to skin that never experienced the intensity of the tanning bed before. Make sure that you stay with quality manufacturers (California Tan, Designer Skin, Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty to name a few). Tanning is an investment in yourself. You'll attract attention with your gorgeous tan and if you work in the public eye, it could even help your career. It may take a few extra minutes and even cost a few extra bucks but honestly, you're worth it! If tanning bronzers are applied properly, the benefits are endless. Bronzers are great for a number of things like darkening your existing tan, they are great if you want to get a dark tan rather quickly too.Bronzers will give you a nice natural tan without having to spend as much time in the sun or under those UV lights. This can be very beneficial to the long term health of your skin. As it is know that extensive exposure to UV rays can increase your chances of cancer. A lot more indoor tanning lotions are using hemp oil as one of there main ingredients.Hemp oil is very important because it is a type of humectants. Humectants are a type of non-oily substance that attracts moisture from the air, and holds in water or moisture. In other words it, when applied to the skin it will draw moisture from the air and hydrate the skin. Total tanning lotions offer their own accelerators, bronzers, and tinge products for that 'total' tanning package. Total tanning lotion 'accelerators' moisturize your skin not only to make your tan look natural, and but also to make sure that it stays. Total tanning lotion 'bronzers,' on the other hand, make your tan ever darker without streaks or discolorations. Total Tan also offers tingle products to give you an instant flushed look and accelerate your tanning process. Just consult with the salon's tanning consultants and you will be walking around with a rich tan in no time. The Total tanning lotion line likewise comes in three top brands: Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty, and Caribbean Gold. Each brand is popular for different things - and you will surely find one that works. Australian Gold is probably one of the best-selling indoor tanning lotion brands. Australian Gold blends can give you natural-looking tans that go from light to very dark. Its products are known for making the skin a great 'canvass' for tanning - after all, the healthier the skin the better it tans. Swedish Beauty. This brand made it to the Total tanning lotions line because of its reputation for promoting cell regeneration while tanning. All Swedish Beauty products contain vitamins A, B, C and E that all help boost collagen and elastins. Caribbean Gold. These Total tanning lotions are not only affordable - they also contain all the essential botanical elements, antioxidants, vitamins and special bronzer formulas for people who want the darkest tans - and want them fast. They are also very easy to use, making them favorites. So there you have it, a few of the top name brand indoor tanning lotions. Now I would suggest trying a few sample lotions at your tanning salon before spending money on something you might not even like. Then go online, somewhere like Amazon.com, they have great prices on many well known products and you know that you aren't going to get ripped off. When buying online always stick with popular stores that you know. If you have any questions at all please ask your tanning salon worker.
