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

Love this lotion I use it in the tanning bed and get a great natural even color with no streaking or orange. This one is my top favorite and I have been tanning for years. I made the mistake one time and tried a different lotion and totally lost all my color I wont be doing that again.

Great product and I also dont have to tan as frequently due to this helps keep my even color in place.

Says dark tanning lotion with bronzers wont streak. Ive used it for 3 days in a row and didnt get any color at all. Ive bought different devoted creations dark bronzers and the lotion was deep dark brown.

This lotion is light light brown. I dont think there are any bronzers in lotion at all. Dont waste your money!!.

Love this product. Its not super greasy. But enough to make your skin feel soft. Its my first time buying. I will buy it again

Very pleased with this purchase. I like the insanely black much more then the solid black. I love the tingle that the insanely black has. The smell is not the best but it works great. The solid black smells amazing but does leave kind of an orange tint on your hands.

So, make sure to wash after use. Otherwise, for the price this was an amazing purchase. And would definitely buy the insanely black again!.

I ALWAYS order my tanning lotion from Darktans and have always been 100% satisfied! They have the best lotions around with incredible prices! I love my 2 new lotions, they work amazing together! Thank you Darktans!.

This is one of the hottest lotions on the market right now. I use a tingle lotion a lot & this one actually works really well. It has a bit of a bronzer in it too that helps work on your deep glow. The Solid Black is really thick but applies easily.

I love both of them.

I’m on a vacation with my husband in the Dominican for our 5th anniversary, and I bought some of this before our trip. I used it on Monday, and kept using it throughout the week…only just yesterday did I realize that the painful and extremely itchy rash that has developed on my arms was caused by this oil.

Nothing like this has EVER happened to me before, and it was my first time using this product. I’m obviously not near my home, so I can’t just go to the doctor. The concierge at the resort at which we are staying called a pharmacy to have some hydrocortisone cream delivered for me.

It cost us $40 for a tiny tube. We fly home tomorrow and I’m not sure I’ll have enough to last me until I get home. I’m very upset as this has definitely affected our vacation. I’m miserable and it’s all because of this oil.

I’m seeing now that there are tons of reviews all over the internet where people are saying this have them a horrible rash. Even if I had seen them, I probably still would have purchased this, because I have used Sun Bum products in the past with no issue, and am not allergic to ANYthing.

So instead of enjoying my last day in paradise, I am in pain and so very itchy. Even the cream doesn’t really totally relieve it. I really feel like this product should be removed from shelves until something is figured out.

I will be telling every one of my friends to steer clear of this. I really wish I hadn’t used it, but it’s too late now and I’m stuck with this agonizing rash. Please do better.

I’m on a trip with my husband in the Dominican Republic and I’ve been using this oil since Monday. I am covered in an extremely itchy and burning rash, mostly on my arms and chest. I have never reacted like this to ANYthing, so my first thought wasn’t even to blame the oil.

I bought it for this trip so that I could get a nice tan; haven’t used it before. I’ve always tanned easily so the bumpy rash that developed scared me. I haven’t been in the sun like I used to in my younger days, and assumed that I’ve just become sensitive to the sun or that the sun down here is stronger or something.

Continued using this, but kept my arms out of the sun today. now I’m seeing it start to develop on my legs where I used it. I’ve been using aloe, taking an antihistamine and ibuprofen, not realizing I was just doing this to myself! Taking a shower now to wash it off, and I’ll be returning it and making sure others know that this rash is a possibility.

I have to reiterate that I DO NOT have sensitive skin and have never reacted like this to any other product. Very frustrated that I’m taking home a rash instead of a tan. :(.

I found this stuff on the ulta website and despite mixed reviews decided to give it a try. I took this stuff with me to South Padre in hopes of laying on the beach and getting a nice tan but this stuff did not work for me at all.

Mostly because I couldn’t get it to absorb into my skin. I followed the instructions, applied sunscreen first then after giving that a few minutes to dry I applied this lotion. It just made a mess all over my swimsuit and towel.

I thought maybe the sunscreen was preventing it from absorbing completely so I tried applying this before the sunscreen and still couldn’t get it to absorb. And it has a really bad smell. Smells like cocoa butter and chocolate.

I would have returned it but I ordered it online because there’s no ulta store near me and mailing it back is more hassle than it’s worth so I ended up throwing it away and buying some banana boat tanning oil.

Great lotion for indoor tanning- built my tan nicely with the built in bronzer. I love the natural bronze color it gives me (not orange) but that it’s not overly expensive like the lotions I find at the tanning salon.

My go-to lotion!.

My skin is fair and tints pretty quickly in my experience. Has a good smell too. Happy with my purchase.

If you want a quick tan..for for it. Not to my liking lotion. Kinda not a really accelerator type of lotion, and makes your hands when applying brown and fake.

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.

This product is very streaky and feels very unpleasant on the skin. Even after a wash it still looked very streaky. I think if the formula was less oily it would coat the skin more nicely ! I definitely would not but again.

First time using this product and I am very satisfied with Black & Tan! I would recommend this to all who wants to try it out. I’ve only used it the 5 times I’ve been tanning and I’ve noticed from the very 1st time I’ve used it.

I will be buying more!.

Delivers instant deep bronze color and lasts for days. Does not streak unless you don’t rub it in. Leaves skin feeling deeply hydrated so no tightness after tanning. Works better at getting you dark fast than any other I have tried over the years.

This formula is terrible! while it has a pleasant smell, it is incredibly runny and greasy. I’m so glad I wasted my money on this …….

This lotion does not have a tint to it, but don’t let that fool you! It smells amazing and I was extremely dark in just a few tans! LOVE THIS LOTION! Also, I do not have that tanning smell after like I do with almost every other lotion.

Finally found a lotion that works doesn’t stain or streak gets you dark the first time and it does last more then one day going to keep using this lotion…..

You get what you pay for and Elizabeth Beauty Products always delivers the best lotions at half the cost. Even when there’s a mishap with the shipping, such as mine. It happens. EBB straightened everything out promptly and had my bottle delivered to my door in just a few days.

I will continue to purchase from them time and time again. As an avid tanner, I’ve tried almost every product line there is, but have found the Designer Skin line to be the best one for me and my body chemistry.

Even the bargain DS products are superior to the “others” premium. The bronzing, the after tan smell, and the absorption is luxurious. Although I’ll continue to experiment, the only 2 lotions I’ll ever need are the DS Missbehaved and the Awestruck.

They’re incredible! The longevity of these lotions are unheard of. I have a lot more free time because once a week, in a 12 minute bed, is all I need to maintain my tan. Buy it now!.

The Awestruck Lotion is easy to use, and the color looks great! No mess; just wash your hands after application. I am happy to find Elizabeth Beauty Products, which retails Awestruck Tan Lotion. I received my order in a couple of weeks.

Now I know where to find Designer Skin Products at a resonanle price. Thank you.

Well it was Amazing on bronzing my skin with the black beads i saw almost instant results and no it didnt wash off in shower after tanning i loved it However after 2 days Red Hives started popping up all over me and I Itched to death.

So the only downside is I was allergic to something in this lotion. Which makes me Very SAD.

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.

I remember my Mom having her friend pick this tanning lotion up for her from FL from when I was a little girl, I always remembered the smell of it and loved it! When I got older, I went on a hunt for this tanning dry oil and lotion and as soon as I saw the Koala and orange cap, I knew I found it! I always purchase this exact one and it really helps jumpstart your tan especially those of us stuck in the Midwest lol! I love how it soaks into your skin so quickly and it isn’t oily or sticky and smells amazing!!! I would absolutely recommend this to others who haven’t tried it! I will continue to buy Australian Gold for as long as it it available, which is hopefully forever!!!.

I can’t find this on Wpg. shelves as of last year and a half, so glad to find it on well. ca. Don’t let the label fool you into thinking it’s oil, or oily, because it’s a gel. I have always used this because when rubbed on your skin it doesn’t roll off into “dimethiconey like balls” or pieces like the others, especially when layered with other lotions or creams.

It is a transparent brown gel. It has a small amount of natural bronzer from walnut. I don’t like dha bronzers, they tend to make me turn orange. I like to use the dry oil as a serum on my face before i put on another cream.

This dry oil is safe for indoor tanning beds, and is a cheap alternative for pricey tanning lotions. I like to use it as a starter before I move on to tingle lotions. I use this dry oil for outdoor tanning too, and it is nothing like an oil, and doesn’t clog my pores and make me break out.

Love the scent!.

Since I have dark olive skin (when I’m tan) this is my go to. It’s got a great summery feel to it, scent is tropical and delicious. Helps keep my skin softer as well. I tend to have dryer skin and suffer from ketosis pilaris so this doesn’t irritate my skin, it instead helps with the dry cracking.

When I’m out at the beach I like to feel sexy and tan, and once I get my base tan going this is all I use all over, except my face. It doesn’t get five stars because the package can get greasy and hard to manage in sand.

Fix that and I’ll be super excited. I keep my products in a ziplock bag and then in a pouch for protection, however I still get sand everywhere and on this packaging it tends to stick and stay. If you want a nice deep dark tan and can handle it, use this for your tanning lotion or oil.

Love the white charcoal. This is a great white lotion that pampers your skin. It smells amazing, fights ATO and the anti aging peptides DO work!

Switched from bronzers to this intensifer. Noticed the difference. . Nice smell.

Goes onto my skin really nice. The white bottle is so pretty too plus so much cheaper of a price than anyplace

It is an fantastic and outstanding tanning lotion! The quality and value is amazing! This brand is so high in Tanning Salons , and this bottle is ,but what I purchased on here is exactly what is on their shelves just for a cheaper price and is amazing! Makes you tan even darker, smells amazing , and does the job just as good on the shelves in Tanning Salons just cheaper! Will be back to buy more for sure!!! Thank you so much for giving such a great deal for an excellent and outstanding product! Your the best! Ill be back as soon as I run out!.

Let’s start by saying I love tanning and after about 14 years of tanning my Skin has reached what I thought was a Plateau. It was so frustrating no matter what lotion I use it just didn’t seem to make any difference I tried bronzers I tried accelerators I tried tingles and the bombshell tingle works amazing.

except I have children and I cannot touch them after I tan and my husband complained that his skin was burning so I had to stop using it so here I am in search of the perfect tanning lotion. I found this Not knowing what I was going to get myself into I gave it a try and I’m glad I did I’m as dark now as I was back when I first started tanning its truly a must have!! Thank you visionary for my beautiful tan No bronze means no orange or transfer to clothing simply brown and beautiful!!.

I love Visionary Dark Tanning. It is a great lotion. I had a noticeable tan after the first time using it. The smell is amazing too. Also, I will continue to buy from Elizabeth beauty products. Great product for low prices and fast shipping! Thanks.

This is really interesting stuff. Ultimately I like it, and it’s become my number one choice for tanning, but with a few caveats. First, the smell. I’m not one of the lucky few who enjoy it. It smells like soy sauce, straight up.

You get used to it, but it’s not pleasant. However, I don’t notice it once I’m done applying, so I assume it’s fading. Plus, the smell of the after-sun lotion is lovely, so that makes up for it. Second, the way it sinks in.

or rather, doesn’t. It really just sits on top of my skin, and often pills in places, even right after I’ve exfoliated. It takes a bit of work to spread evenly, and no mater how much you rub, it’s not gonna be absorbed.

This leads to number Three, it absolutely rubs off on whatever you come into contact with. The reason it works so well for me is that I very carefully ration my time laying out for a tan to 20 minutes max per side, and I’m able to do this in my back yard.

I don’t have to worry about it staining my favorite suit or towel, because I use stuff I don’t care about when I’m just working on my tan. (So far, it’s washed out very well though!) I’d never bring this browning lotion for a day at the beach, it would rub off on everything and somehow still manage to cling to the surface of my skin, making me a sand magnet.

Everyone would also wonder why I deliberately brought something that smells like it should go on sushi. Despite these drawbacks however, I do have a very fabulous tan. I have very fair skin, and the aforementioned self imposed time limit, so it took about a full week to settle in, but it sure does work.

I love the way my skin looks, and I’ve never burned when following my 20 min rule. My legs have always been the hardest part for me to tan, but I just keep looking at them now and admiring how tan and glowy they are.

So altho I don’t recommend this for a long day at the beach, if you want a good tan, I’d give this a try. Also, I purchased the after-sun lotion as well, and it is hands down the best I’ve used; not only does it smell wonderful without being too heavy, it’s the ONLY one I’ve found that actually leaves my skin feeling moisturized for longer than an hour.

Plus, a little really goes a very long way. Hope this helps someone!.

this is not the first time i’ve bought this stuff, just the first time i’ve ordered it from target. this is best used when you are ALREADY tan. i see a ton of comments saying it doesn’t work, but this is a TAN ENHANCER.

it says on the bottle that you can use this without sunscreen, but i wouldn’t recommend unless you already have a tan. if you want to use this when you’re not tan and aiming to tan for the first time, use with a low SPF (6, 7, 8, 15, 30) and you will get tan.

this stuff CAN and WILL stain your clothes? however, it washes out easily. dress accordingly if you don’t want brown stains on your bikinis/towels. smells like cocoa beans with a hint of chocolate. it’s a good smell, not at all overbearing.

a bit greasy and takes a little to completely dry down, but that’s fine with me.

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 .

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.

The return policy states that no returns because of these “bottles are brand new and unopened. ” False!! The bottle came with the cap taped with scotch tape. There was no seal And most tanning lotions expiration date starts when bottle is opened.

I could also tell the bottle was opened because at the top of the bottle by the cap the lable was cracked. So who knows how long this bottle has been sitting open And god only knows what could actually be in this bottle.

I will not by from this company again and recommend going through another company as well. I figured since i found it @ walmart that i wouldnt have ebay issues.

Im sorry but tanning lotions with bronzers only get so good. Charging $80-100 like many lotions these days is ridiculous. This stuff smells good, works, and is a great value for the money. Highly recommend.

this stuff is divine i love the smell i love the texture i love how it makes my skin dark if you love laying in tanning beds like me this Snooki ultra dark bronzer for you its affordable not expensive it doesn’t streak you it doesn’t turn you orange it jump starts your tan.

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 spent $30.00 on Ed Hardy Obnoxious tanning lotion. I gave this a generous 1 star due the dha in in this product and the streaking it caused. It took exfoliation to get it off my skin.

First, a positive is that this lotion smells wonderful; however, only use it if you want to appear to be a rusty orange color. I realize that it is advertised to have bronzers but it looks like I used a self tanner instead of a tanning bed lotion.

I have used lotions with bronzers in the past but never had this issue. Extremely disappointed!!!.

LOVE this Tanning Lotion! I’ve tried almost every Tanning Lotions on the Market and this Cherry Bomb truly delivers what those ridiculously expensive ones claim to do at a Fraction of the price! I LOVE that I see results (Bronzer/Hot Tingle) the moment I step out of my tanning bed.

That’s a HUGE plus. I will ALWAYS have a bottle of this on hand! It!.

I would recommend this lotion for someone who is trying a “tingle” for the first time. If you have never used a “tingle” lotion before, only put it on your lower legs to get a sense of how it feels. When you tan with it, the heat of the lotion will increase as you tan.

I love Cherry Bomb tanning lotion. This Tingle lotion gets your tan bumped up to the next level. It smells delicious, like actual cherries. The only thing I wish was different was the after effect. After you tan with this lotion, it is a bit prickly.

I don’t mind the warming sensation that lasts as well but prefer less prickly when it comes to “tingle” tanning lotions. This is a regular lotion that I love using all the time!.

I thought this would have a lot more tingle than it actually does. Its a nice lotion but if you have used a hot tingle lotion you probably wont even feel this one but for the first minute and its so light you may not feel it at all.

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.
