What is the best “tanning” lotion to use in a tanning bed?
A tingle with a bronzer like Unforgiven by Swedish Beauty is your best bet. The tingle will help to oxidize melanin to produce a darker tan faster. The bronzer will give you both a cosmetic bronze color as well as help your skin to produce more melanin to get darker. The tingle is a strong sensation though, it really does feel like your skin is tingling and getting hot and can sometimes make you itchy. But it will go away and leave you with a dark tan. If you don’t like the idea of a tingle a good alternative is an intensifier with body blush and derma dark like First Blush by Colorology. The body blush will give you a photo-reactive blushed glow to get you darker color and the derma dark is a clear bronzer that helps your skin to produce melanin. Both of these lotions are my favorite for getting dark and getting dark fast.
