20 Best Tanning Bed Lotion For Pale Skin (2023 Updated)

For those of you who do not know what after tan lotion and tan extender lotion is, this review is for you. You use this after tanning, after showering and before going to bed. That is to prolong the life of your tan.

This is not to use in the sun this is to use after. This is so you dont fade your color so fast. If you use it for those three times, youll notice that you save your color by 45%. Those are the times when you lose the most moisture is after tanning, showering and during sleep.

This is hands down the best bronzer ever! I’ve used the expensive stuff and the cheap stuff and I’ve been tanning since the invention of indoor tanning beds! (Yeah, I’m old) Millennium tans makes the best.

I legit cannot be without this. Ran out once, tried something else and just couldn’t do it! This. Is. Life. This. Is. Tanning!.

Everyone has their preference. To be perfectly honest, I love Bombshell. Used it for many years. I decided to try solid black because it’s more economical and it’s also 100 just like bombshell. However it doesn’t have that instantaneous tanning effect like I get from bombshell.

Within 15 minutes, my skin gets that hazelnut look that I love but also bombshell can be too strong too tingling and makes my stretch marks protrude for about 2 hours. solid black, gives me a tan but it takes an hour and gives me just a touch of sun look.

what i like about solid black, it’s comfortable to wear (no burning) and I can wear it among others without being embarrassed about the protruding marks. I’ll still buy solid black and take it traveling.

If you want to get dark fast this is great. But you must rub in completely or you will have major streaks. Also, I spilled a little bit of water down my leg after applying ( which I thought was already soaked in) anyway after tanning I noticed I had a white line down leg.

This lotion reminds me of really bad self tanners. But gets you dark fast but don’t know if worth the hassle. Also wear gloves or wash your hands really really good right after applying. I’m r align soap water and scrub.

I loved it at first. The first 2 weeks were great I looked really dark but these last 2 1/2 weeks of using it I feel like I’ve gone back to square one not as dark. Yes I tan at least 5x a week. I don’t know what happened.

But now I have to work on looking for a different lotion because I don’t like this and the way it’ll work for a few weeks. It does smell good but I also do smell burning at the same time. If I spend money for lotion I expect it to work to the last drop in the bottle plus some and this one doesn’t.

Too bad because I like the smell and the way it makes my skin feel.

Very good tanning lotion. Works well establishing a nice tan and smells great. The only downfall in my opinion is that it seems to have a lot of self tanner in it so if there’s any way to wipe your hands immediately after applying it, I recommend doing so!.

This is an accelerator with no additional bronzers. It’s good to speed up the tanning process in the tanning bed. Perfect for any beginner tanner. Smells sweet like candy or bubble gum maybe? I’ve been tanning for several months and personally go for darker bronzers but if you’re into accelerators than this one is nice I purchased a sample packet from the salon and this lotion is the very same.

Happy tanning!.

Going to buy another bottle just to have in stock for when I run out of my current bottle. Smells great and isnt nasty like those bronzing lotions. Gives you your best REAL tan. I wish Id found this $100 ago super happy w my purchase!.

We tried a sample of this for tanning at our gym. Following our tanning session our skin was soft, smooth and non-greasy. Plus accelerating tanning. We are now enjoying results every time we tan.

I love this lotion. I had some issues in the beginning but the seller was very nice and helpful and did what she could to make everything work. I will buy from this seller again. I love this lotion, it is my favorite.

Smells so lovely and I love the bronzer in it! My favorite forsure!

It is a good bronzer and I like the smell.

Love all Australian Gold products! Very affordable and give a beautiful tan everytime. Enjoy the smell of these products and my favorite is the bronzing intensifier! Gives a quick and pleasant tan with instant bronzing that does not streak or look orange! For $7 and under, it is a staple on my boat and when on vacation!.

This product works. Maybe not as well as some others. It is also kind of runny. I do like the smell of the lotion though. All in all it wasn’t a bad experience. The product is very affordable and is effective.

I would recommend. There are others I would be more likely to recommend.

It came super fast! Im super picky when it comes to tanning lotion so I was very pleased by this one. Smells amazing even after you get out. It gives you a nice tan too without staining anything! I noticed it gives off tiny sparkle on your skin.

Its such a sweet little accent!.

Ed Hardy Label claims streak free stain free bronzer. After applying this it reminded me of the cheap self tanning lotions. If I wanting the fake tan look I would just go get some self tanning lotion.

With this you not only need to wash your hands but you have to wash the cracks of your wrists, knees, elbows etc.

Feels good on skin but it says its not supposed to wipe off and it does. the color looks nice when it comes out bottle but if you touch a white towel it leaves orange residue. so far I havent turned orange but it does make me worrys every time.

also i out it on my face and it gave me dry patches like maybe the purfume in it extra dried my skin out.

I have quite a bit of experience with tanning lotions. This lotion has a pleasant scent -similar to orange creme. It has a nice consistency. My skin feels softer two hours after applying it. There is not a self tanner in it so there is no transfer of color to clothes.

The tan enhancement quality is great. I definately see that I get more color each visit. Well worth the money!.

I just started tanning in a bed again. Ordered this for the first time & I’m very satisfied. Goes on very easily & makes skin feel soft and moisturized. The smell is amazing! Gets you a great dark base color quick.

Plus Shipping was quick.

I’ve ordered this product several times. Feels good on the skin & the fragrance is something that I can live with.

I could immediately tell a difference after the first use. And after just four uses I was a very nice dark tan. Awesome product! However you may want to wear a glove to put on, but definitely wash hands after application as it will turn your hands.

GREAT tanning lotion at a fraction of the cost. I got many nice comments on the smell of this lotion. It has a light sweet smell and doesn’t have that stinky tanning smell that some have. It also gives you a nice golden tan in a few applications.

It lasted about 3 months tanning 2 to 3 times a week. I would recommend buying this product.

I have used many bronzes without success, they either don’t work or leave you orange. I use with indoor tanning and it makes a good tan look fabulous. Enhances your color, especially overnight. You do have to wash your palms and fingernail area with soap to avoid discoloration.

You won’t be disappointed with this product and I think it smells good!.

Nice smell, a bit like marzipan. Good texture and makes your skin feel soft and smooth. Haven’t noticed any significant difference to how tanned I look after a sunbed but only used it twice for 6 mins each to be fair.

Confident I will see a difference after a few more uses. The twin pack offer is an absolute bargain!.

Delivered really quickly and packaged well. Smells delicious and is really smooth. On my first use I went on the sun beds and straight away got a new tan line and was darker than the last 4 sessions had made me.

Highly recommend.

Just returned from holiday and keeping up my tan I’m using sunbeds so purchased this to help moisturiser and tan. Smells great,very creamy and easily absorbed. Works good at tanning also .

While it smells nice when applying, after I get out of the tanning bed my skin smells like cigerette smoke. I’m not a smoker. It took me a good week to figure out where that smell was coming from. It’s from the tanning lotion.

I can’t really say it’s done what its hyped up to be for me. It is moisturizing and smells nice BEFORE you tan. But I haven’t noticed it helping my tan vs w/o tanning lotions. Will not be buying again.

This lotion has pleasent scent that isn’t overwhelmingly strong. I like that the first tan I got from this is subtle and did not make me look orange or stain my hands. I can see this lotion being very effective with multiple uses.

I also like the formula, it is a bit thinner and is easy to rub in.

Pros: Smells great – I am able to tan at lunch and not worry if I stink or a smell like a tanning bed. Quick color – in just four days of tanning (10 minutes) I can see color already. I was ghost white and now I actually have some color.

No streaking. No orange color (except – 1 Con) Priced decent (Amazon) Con: My only issue was my my hands and in between my fingers would turn brown/orange (like sunless/self tanning lotion) – however the bottle does say wash hands after applying, so that’s on me.

I just use gloves (which actually seems to help with the whole application process) Will definitely purchase again.

I have used for years. The only complaint is this product must be very old. It was yellow instead of white and the odor is a little foul too. I’m still using it but I think I got a Really old bottle.

A little goes a long way with this lotion and the smell is light. Theres no harsh chemical smell and the lotion isnt sticky. I really love the color I got after a stand up session. The color is quick and again there wasnt a burn small after session.

I LOVE this tanning lotion! It works so fast when you’re out tanning and you get DARK. It’s not uncomfortable, messy, or itchy. It absorbs quickly. It even has anti aging and firming benefits! It smells good, too.

Highly, highly recommend this tanning lotion!.

I used it last night and it had a odd color to it it was not only brown but it was black in it and it had a really bad smell to it like the smell from a waste place. I know this is not normal I have used this brand before and it was nothing like this that was just one bottle idk about the other one yet.

the shopping was fast packaging was alright. Just don’t understand that smell I wanted to throw up I had to use it I had a little of the smell on me when I was done. The whole point of me getting this brand was that I smell good after I’m done tanning so if I have to run into work or the store I don’t smell like burn skin or something.

I received it super quick! Much cheaper then salon. Went to tan today, first time since last summer. It went on smooth & easy. It’s not slimy, goopy, or runny. It does have a lot of bronzing in it so make sure to wash hands after application but I see no streaking on my skin.

I’d highly recommend it & will order more Ed Hardy lotions.

my boss gave me a bit of this to try bc ive never tried a tingle lotion before. and i love it! i absolutely have to buy my own!!! when you first put it on, your skin gets red like a tomato. you’re gonna look nuts but its fine.

after tanning the redness calms down; the sensation doesn’t linger for more than, lets say, 20 minutes. turning the fans in the bed on high helps. i usually tan a few times a week so im consistently the same color, but after i used this my boyfriend duly noted, “did you go too hard in the tanning bed today?” which tells me everything i need to know about if the lotion worked to get me darker or not lol.

Love this lotion! Please be advised that the “tingle” increases the circulation of blood and oxygen to the surface of the skin, which affects the production of melanin (the pigment that gives your skin its color) in the body.

You WILL BE RED UP TO 1 hr AFTER TANNING. This is not an allergic reaction. This tanning lotion is one of my top 5 I will always reach for. If you are not an experienced tanner – I would not recommend as the tingle is intense.

To my male Influenster’s: Please wash hands immediately after application and do not use the urinal. The “tingle” DOES NOT feel good on the southern region of the body.

I absolutely love this tanning lotion. It wasn’t too hot where my skin itched for hours afterwords but let me tell you! It got me DARK!!! I didn’t have to go back to tanning salon for like 3 days and I’m going to go today and try another tingle tanning lotion by devoted creations.

I’ll update you on that one later. #edhardy #obnoxious #influenster.

Fantastic! This product never let’s me down and always gives me a golden tan,hasn’t got a strong horrible smell like some and makes my skin feel great. Excellent product and good value for money.

This tanning lotion is okay. Affordable moisturizing and easy to apply. Compared to other tanning lotions I’ve used I was happy with this one. It isn’t the best but for the price it does work.

I was disappointed. I’ve got a good base tan. I’ve been going to tan 3x per week sometimes 4. Here very recently. I’ve been going 5 weeks now. I love love love love hot tingle lotion without bronzers.

Someone suggested this. It claims to get you 3 shades darker and 3x hotter. ummm no. I didn’t notice a grand difference and it was not that hot. also it did not have that much tingle to it so if you are scared of that.

don’t be. I wouldn’t use this is I was very fair skin because it did get “-warm”. I didn’t get red. It might be good but just jot hot enough for me. If you like hot tingle lotions like I do. this won’t be strong enough.

I must say I was a bit nervous purchasing a tanning product online, without being able to open the product, to get an idea of the smell, anyone that tans knows no matter how good the product is the smell can be a huge turn off, or being able to see the texture of the lotion or the color of the bronzing product used in it.

But I have always been pleased with everything I have ordered via eBay and again I was not let down. The product smells amazing, the color is beautiful and the texture is smooth and silky. Bar far one of my favorite tanning products ever.

Then I lathered up and hoped in by tanning bed and WOW !!!!!! As I stated it was AMAZING.

Lotion contains too much bronzer, so won’t purchase again. Also not as kern on the scent in comparison to other products.

I absolutely love this product, it smells amazing and it’s the best on he market for sure. No streaks, easy to apply as Nd non greasy. Absolutely lush

Very quick results with this product besides you can have many little packages on your beach bag. Easy to apply fast results also easy to find everywhere.

Love this stuff!! Won’t start out tanning with anything else!!

I love the bronzer in it. The smell is great too.

Its Great

I used it for a week and a half and no color change at all
