If you had to select ONE lotion as the all-time very best browning lotion (no bronzer or tingle), what would you choose and why?

ambrosia dark deluxe, i see the best color from it even in the base beds.

I haven't wanted to buy that lotion for some time now. When i went to buy my lotion last time they were out so I bough Helix. Not sure if I should get Ambrosia Deluxe or X power next time. I might have to just get Ambrosia I am so broke right now.

California Tan's latest and greatest X POWER! By far the best ever, and believe me I have sampled them all!

I have to agree with X power!

what makes a lotion "browning"... is that different from a regular tanning lotion? is it a maximizer? all the terms are making my head spin.

a browing lotion is a no frills lotion.... it's not a bronzer or a tingle it's just a tanning lotion.

I'm almost out of my matahari lotions and want to roam the tanning lotion range! X power looks like it would work for me but is it a tingle? Bronzer? Whats the X-treme tanning catalyst? I've been using Dark Sexy Tan and Dark Sexy Legs, could I handle the X? HELP!

Anya1976

X power is a browning lotion,no tingle no bronzer, the Xtreme tanning catalyst is something cal tan created for your skin to get the most of the lotion.... its kinda like vitatan on speed lol

here is the explination i got from the cal tan website
Quote:X-treme Tanning Catalyst: This exclusive California Tan complex creates a synergistic fusion of energy, vitamins, proteins and oxygen, encouraging skin to perform at its optimal efficiency. This ingredient boosts the performance of other tannning technologies.

OMG! It is wonderful! It moisturizes as well if not a little better than the Frosted Hemp, plus it smells like vanilla cake frosting. YUM! I get good results from it too. I just recently got my second bottle.

Vanilla Cake Frosting?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!! That to me, it like doughnuts to Homer!

Chocolate Indulgence by Swedish Beauty. Out of all the top dollar lotions I have tried, this is the only one I think is worth the money.

X Power...followed by Ambrosia Dark Deluxe...

those are mine...

I just tried Ambrosia Dark Deluxe a few hours ago...I just walked in the door and my roommate said "Hey, have you been tanning? You look darker!" Now that's what I like to hear!!!

scout

05-07-2003, 06:35 PM

Is there something wrong here? Now I usually tan really well the first time I use a lotion but I got the X-power step two and it didn't do much... any advice?

Anya1976

05-07-2003, 06:36 PM

really? i've never not gotten color from power

Anya1976

05-07-2003, 06:37 PM

i'm sitting here racking my brain about why u didn't see any color... but it DOES take at leat 48 hrs for u to see any major color change.

njchica

05-07-2003, 08:12 PM

anya will vouch for this... actually so will meltd.... I HATE AMBROSIA AND AMBROSIA DARK DELUXE. I don't see any color change and I think that they are totally slimy and nasty. hehehehe

X Power is a lotion that the more you use it, the better the results will be~ It really pampers the skin!

Anya1976

05-08-2003, 12:38 AM

yes that it does my skin always feels amazing after i use it

scout

05-08-2003, 12:29 PM

I really think that the lotion will work better as time goes on. I'm already dark so maybe its just not as noticeable. Oh yeah, the lotion is really great for the skin! I have THE DRIEST skin EVER!!! And it feels pretty good! The lotion doesn't stink after tanning as much either! I think it will work better tomorrow

I Have to agree with X power, and what about BumRum

colorgod

05-10-2003, 07:35 PM

Beach Bum Rum is a bronzer, not a browning lotion

njchica

06-02-2003, 09:43 PM

what's your favorite browning lotion?

boobrandt

06-02-2003, 10:07 PM

Darn it! Now I have to try X Power! Thank goodness my favorite salon has it! And although it is probably expensive (sigh), at least my salon gives points for money you spend. The points give you price cuts on products and services there. That's something at least!

javagirl

06-02-2003, 10:09 PM

I really like ambrosia DD . Its one of the few non JA lotions that I use. I'd like to sample Brown envy and x power but my salon only carries JA and will not special order.

Anya1976

06-02-2003, 10:09 PM

yea x power is a great lotion and it's expensive try a packette or two to get a taste to see if u want to spend that kind of money on it

javagirl

06-02-2003, 10:11 PM

But I can't get samples. rubs tear from eye.

Anya1976

06-02-2003, 10:12 PM

well that really sucks

javagirl

06-02-2003, 10:12 PM

yup!!

Anya1976

06-02-2003, 10:16 PM

i wish my salon sold JA stuff though

javagirl

06-02-2003, 10:32 PM

Yeah..I really like it alot..but it would be nice to have a couple of other choices as well.

12-28-2003, 01:35 AM

Right now I'd have to say my favorite basic lotion is Chilly Pepper. I just LOVE the smell!

X Power is still my favorite accelerator.

LucaBella

12-28-2003, 02:14 AM

oh i hated x power,i personally,i it just gave me no color at all!

colorgod

12-28-2003, 02:16 AM

X power Bronzer is my new fav, but for a browning lotion, I have to still go with X power!

Tpsyduck

12-28-2003, 09:30 AM

Best Browning lotion..... Probably 2twisted, it's an awesome basic lotion and I always see color with it, though I'm really wanting to try the Sol Plus by FS too

boobrandt

12-28-2003, 09:44 AM

i usually use tingles or bronzers, so i don't know if i have a favorite accelerator. i did use ds believe the other day and got good color from it (as far as i could read, it was just a plain old lotion)

LucaBella

12-28-2003, 04:30 PM

babie then Helix, i thoght Helix was great, smelled so good

boobrandt

12-28-2003, 04:33 PM

oops, i think believe has dha. never mind. i'll take ambrosia dark deluxe for 100, alex.

Blondie41280

12-29-2003, 03:49 PM

Hmm probably Chocolate Silk. But I also love Green Tea, 2Twisted, Idol and Frosted Hemp. They get me nice and brown.

boobrandt

12-29-2003, 03:50 PM

ooh, i forgot about frosted hemp! how could i, i love that lotion!? okay, that would be my favorite no frills lotion.

kindergirl

12-29-2003, 05:12 PM

Favorite Browning lotion: I'll join the cheering section for Ambrosia DD (actually, anya got me started on that when it first came out *hiya girl!*) Ambrosia DD deepened my color like no other lotion. My second choice would be, as always, the Brown Envy - smells fabulous and SO moisturizing. Love both, but if I had to choose, I'd probably go for the Envy, since it is much cheaper.

boobrandt

12-29-2003, 05:17 PM

i have a bottle of add. i guess i should use it!

Indulgence is actually a bronzer, maybe you're thinking of Chocolate Silk.
