I am bad and tan in a tanning bed sometimes too and I have tried several lotions, but always end up going back to Swedish Beauty products. I really like the lotions w/ tingle factor in them. If you haven't used a lotion with tingle before, I'd suggest getting a sample packet b/c some people absolutely hate this stuff. I liked Sinful (which is T7, a lower level of tingle) when I first started. I think it has bronzers in it too which is always nice. Ebay is a great place to buy lotions too because salons mark them way up. Hope this helps!

i stopped for awhile, but i did a lindsay lohan and got my hair done blonde, so now i really need to get back to tanning. my fave products are Designer skin, the ones w/tingle and bronzers together. ive tried alot of diff brands and this one works best for me. i think they have one called legs, and its designed for the hard to tan legs.
heres a website to get it way cheeper than the salon http://thesupplenet.com/tanninglotions.html

I heard it supposedly stimulates your blood circulation or something which enables you to tan better? Not sure, though.
Have you tried fake baking first? I just got Jiffy Tan from Benefit and it's pretty good. It's sorta like a stain so it simply washes off with soap and water.

I have used the Jify Tan and I love it but I hate applying everytime I want to look tan.
Ok so I tanned last night and stupid me thinking that the beds are the same as they used to be (think small and low powered) decided that I could go in for 20 minutes. Well the girl didn't say, no you shouldn't go in that long, so I fell asleep (like I always do) and got fried to a crisp. The tanning place is extending my membership and giving me some free lotions. But now what is a good way to tone down the reddness?

When i do need a tan pick me up and I hop in a bed, I use Halo. Its has a slight bronzer in it, but it also has an spf of 4 in it. I know thats not much, but its better than nothing. As far as recovering from a burn, I just make sure I use PLENTY of moisturizer and aloe when needed.

i work at a tanning salon so i know a bit about the lotions =)
a tingler stimulates your red blood cells to produce more oxygen bringing oxygen to the surface of your skin makeing you tan faster. oxygen is needed in the last step of the tanning process along with l-tyrosine, it will work wonders!
l-tyrosine is almost the most important ingredient in any tanning lotion, if your lotion doesn't have any don't bother using it
also try a lotion with a dual bronzer, this just means that you will have instant color

I also use designer skin, I love this brand
I have a few bottles including halo, ray of light, bombshell and goddess
tingle feels weird to me.. but I love the darker ones
anyways I go from halo for a few times then go to ray of light as a darker tanner
you want to start in at like 6 or 8 minutes and then work you way up, 20 minutes is what those of us do after we have been taning for along time and the skin is used to it.
aloe vera is great for burns, I actully will apply the none tingle cream.. its nice and soothing

Matahari dark sexy leg's is really good for darkening up hard to tan lags, I had this problem in summer, my legs just wouldn't tan like the rest of me, so I used this, and it worked a treat
It's an accelerator and bronzer in 1.
Don't go often, and remember to leave 24 hours minimum between each tanning session to avoid over-exposure.

ok so i know i'm super late but omg don't go tanning!!! don't tan in a bed or in the sun. i use jergen's natural glow which is a self tanning lotion. fake tan in a bottle!
i dont want to be mommy and lecture but tanning is soooo unsafe for u! i used to think that it was ok for me to go tan because i'm middle eastern so of course the pigments in my skin should be ok to deal with the sun but i was wrong. luckily nothing happened to me but i've heard horrible stories. (sorry to be a buzz kill) try jergen's natural glow it doesn't leave u looking orange!

Be careful -- you should have developed a little color before using a tingle. I'd really say you should have a base tan before using a tingle because they can irritate sensitive skin and cause blotchiness and rashes.
Kiki's Coco Hut is a really great accelerator. So is Swedish Beauty Chocolate Silk. Hope this helps!

i'm horrible, and yes i go tanning! i have found that california tan products are the best IMO. i just use beach bum rum because the after smell is not that bad compared to most lotions i've used. also, for all you girls who tan, go to bestpricetanning.com and you can get lotions that are super cheap. my salon sells beach bum rum for about $50 and i get it online for $20. definitely worth it!

Actually it does. It brings oxygen to the skin, and you need oxygen and UV rays to tan. That's what tingle does, but it burns for most people. Swedish beauty is great, they also have body blushes out right now. They're tingles but you don't feel them. If its mostly for your legs I would use a small tingle, bodyblush or bronzer. But DO NOT use tingle on your face. It can burst the capilaries.
