Which is the best Desinger skin Tanning lotion?
I was just going to buy some tanning lotion and was seeing what you guys thought was the best.
( before I spend 40$ on a lotion.)
Ray of Sun or Boutique BRONZE camouflage are
they any good?
If you dont know of any of these items, but know of other Designer skin products that are good please tell me!
What about Faker, its a splash, Designer skin product.
Thanks everbody so far for the answers!
Please if you read question please tell me your Answer!
Assuming you want to tan for real (i.e., in a tanning bed or in the sun):
Designer Skin lotions are decent lotions, but most of them contain bronzers (both instant coloring and self-tanners). So, if you’re not wanting to be self-tanned (DHA) by the lotion, then be sure to choose one that contains no bronzers. There are plenty of good tanning lotions available on the market, but their performance depends upon your skin type.
Type I-II: tans slowly and lightly, burns frequently
Type III: tans moderately, burns somewhat
Type IV-V: tans well, rarely burns
Assuming a non-bronzing lotion… Type I-II skin will always take time to tan (several weeks to possibly several months) to get reasonable color no matter the lotion. Type III skin tans reasonably fast, but could possibly burn if stay out too long. If you’re a type IV-V, any lotion will work well, you’ll tan very fast and you really don’t need self-tanners. Accelerators work on all skin types, but to varying degrees. For example, type I-II skin will tan only slightly faster. But, the accelerator could just as easily accelerate a burn.
So, you’ll need to determine your skin type and what you really want out of the lotion to determine the type of lotion you should buy. I personally use Hoss Sauce brand. But, not many salons sell it. You can find it on the web, though. If you want to try some lotions without all the high in-salon costs, purchase them from online web sites (see sources below).
If you have sensitive skin like I do, I’ve never had problems with Designer Skin, Hoss Sauce, California Tan, Swedish Beauty or John Abate. You’ll want to smell the lotion before slathering it all over, though. Some lotions have very intense (and not very pleasant) smelling fragrances (especially after you’ve tanned). So, visit a salon and smell them (or buy a sample to try) to find out if you like the fragrance.
Lotions to avoid are Supre and California Tan. I’ve had sensitivity problems to Supre (rashing). California Tan really does nothing for my skin (it’s not even that moisturizing) and doesn’t accelerate tanning.
If you want solely a fake bake:
The tanning lotions mentioned above are a waste to buy. Instead, you’ll want to buy a self-tanner that you can get elsewhere. The best self-tanner that I have used that has the most realistic look is Famous Dave’s self-tanner. It has no fragrance (which is perfect as all self-tanner fragrances are horrid once combined with the developer smell). It glides on smoothly (not streaky) and develops to a reasonable color (not too dark, not too light). You can always apply a second time if you need it darker. L’oreal also makes decent self-tanners, but they contain fragrance. There are other self-tanners on the market as well, but most of them have horrid fragrances.
You can also opt to visit a salon with a spray tanning machine (Mystic or Mist-On). Avoid Magic Tan salons as apparently these units produce poor and splotchy tans. Always ask if they are using original solutions their units. Knock off solutions can turn unwanted colors.
Good luck.

Sorry I don’t know whether by Designer you mean a specific brand or just a very pricey tanning lotion. I used to use Johnson’s moisturiser with the added tanning lotion (forgot the name), but now I use the Garnier one, not that I didn’t like the colour from Johnsons but because Garnier works the best on my very dry skin. They’re not expensive, the tanning is quick, fairly even (I’m terrible with it but if you’re good with gauging amounts and spreading evenly) and lasts quite a bit.

i work at a tanning salon that sells Desinger Skin lotions. The absolute best one is spellbound, however its quite pricey, but def. worth it. it has bronzers in it, so if you are not looking for bronzers go for one called intrigue. it is just as good as spellbound w/o the bronzer and it is cheaper. they both make your skin feel amazing and you get veeeeery dark. if you are going to spend 40 dollars anyway, its worth it to splurge a little more for these lotions. a slightly cheaper one called worship is pretty good as well. i used ray of sun…it did nothing for me and i have yet to try the bronze camouflage which is new for this year if iam not mistaken. hope i was of help.

Designer Skin makes one of the best products in tanning. It really depends if you are looking for a bronzer, a tingle or a bronzer with a tingle. I would highly recommend not using a tanning lotion with a tingle unless you are used to using a tingle tanning lotion.

Buy your lotion from ebay…you’ll save a ton of $$$$
Fortune IV is a good bronzer, so is Spellbound, Bohemia and Whisper (lighter bronzer)
CalTan’s Ambrosia 360 is awesome and so is Hempology (w/ triple bronzers). If you like a high tingle, DS’s Siren is good, it has a cooler w/ bronzers in it also.

I’ve always been a fan of Designer Skin tanning products. In the past I have used "Believe" which I really liked. Me personally, I liked the cooling effect that it had so I wasn’t sweating up a storm my entire tanning session. Currently, I am using Ray of Light because I’ve heard some great things about it and I’m a fan so far. Also, I use their Vanishing Act facial tanner. It’s the first facial tanner I have found to give me good color that doesn’t make my face break out like others do. I like the previous poster said, I would definitely recommend buying on e-bay. You get the bottle for half the price and I’ve never had a problem with any of the lotions I’ve bought there. Hope this helps!

Boutique BRONZE
They are both really great products. Boutique is supposed to be the BEST on the market. My salon gives me great information all the time…
ALSO make sure to not buy your products online, it is very easy for anyone to save a bottle and put something else in it, I once bought one online and the person who sold it to me mixed baby lotion with iodine. It was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
