Lotions to use when tanning??

If anyone can help me that would be great!!

I am a pale skinned irish girl who can get tan but sloooowly....i get lobster red if i do it too fast.

I am going to begin tanning at a salon in DC soon...and need to know what type of lotion to invest in...something that will help me get nice color but won't burn me.

Any suggestions? I was told to stay away from products with 'tingle' in them..i think thats the word, lol..

Thanks!!

Yea, No tingle! What that lotion does is rushes blood to the surface of the skin and can get u really blothy!

Any lotion w/a bronzer will help accelerate the tan. Using lotion is good for accelerating the tan and moisturizing skin. It defintily makes a difference opposed to not using any.

Hope that helped

ETA:use a tanning bed w/bronzing bulbs, not reddening bulbs....that will also a burn.

There are tons of tanning places! Maybe just ask around.

although, I obligated to say, to all 3 of you--Tanning is bad for you--don't do it.
