Reply:The banana boat has a spray that you put on before you go in the sun, it not only helps protect agiainst a sunburn, but also helps you tan faster. And waterproof, so you can still go swimming.

Reply:The best way is just to use a lotion for indoor or outdoor tanning (depending on what you're doing). The reason is that when you tan without moisturizing your skin first, you are simply tanning then washing away the dry tanned skin when you shower. If you are tanning outside you should ALWAYS have on lotion with SPF in it!


I'm not sure what the reason for not wanting to use an lotion is. If it's cost, there are several lotions that are not that expensive (Drama Queen by Designer Skin) and are well worth the few extra bucks. If it's because you have sensitive skin, there are some lotions (Sheer Wisdom by Designer Skin) made for sensitive skin that do work. If you just don't want to use a lotion MADE for tanning, at least use some kind of lotion before you tan. Skin that is moisturized holds the tan much better! Also, be cautious about using lotions or body wash with mineral oil in it...it can make your tan fade faster!
Reply:I just use plain ole baby oil, but keep in mind it has no spf, but it works really well, I'm one of the darkest white girls around, also if you have accsess to a pool reflection off the water speeds tanning along. Good Luck!
