Best lotion to use outdoors

[KIMMYB]

I noticed last year (and the year before) that I wasn't getting much of a tan after going to the beach for hours. Now I am wondering if it had anything to do with the Hawaiin Tropic oil I was using that contained Mineral oil. I have decided this year I will use indoor tanning lotions. What does everyone prefer? I was thinking about Dark n Dazed.

[colorgod]

Dark N Dazed would get my vote. Just remember to wear it with SPF.

[bronzebabe]

Definitly use an SPF product outdoors but I like layering it with Melted Butter!!

I also like Accomplice outside

I use Brown Envy, Melted Butter, and Accomplice at the beach and at practice.

if you have a good base tan, what amount SPF? 15? 4? I confess not to know much about it

Depends on how many hours you are going to spend outside, and if you're near any bodies of water. Probably I would say either spf 8 or maybe 6. If you're really dark then you can try spf 4. But regardless on how tan you are, wearing at least a little bit of sunscreen is a good idea, since the sun has higher UVB% vs. a tanning bed.

I also use Brown envy and it works great.

i really liked cal tan's forbidden outside, i've also used swedish hemp creme, iced creme, butter, melted butter,AG's gelee. but yes i have to agree with what everyone else has said and use an spf if u are going to spend hours and hours and hours outside.

[teresa]

I'm gonna try the X Power outside this summer....we haven't really had any nice warm days yet!!!!

Just remember NEVER use a tingle product outside!!!!

[colorgod]

Teresa, that sounds good. I love my X-Power, and I think it would do great outside.

[BrOnZeDbOmBsHeLl]

oh man Teresa I was going to go out in the sun w/ my dark kickin ale on...jk I would never use a tingle outside, owwie owwie that would be painful and what a way to get a nice burn going!

[teresa]

I don't think so Artic......no tingle outside on your precious little skin!!!!

[Anya1976]

no tingles outside are NOT good. i can't believe when people tell me they use a tingle outside.

[colorgod]

I don't even get out in the sun after I've used a tingle in the tanning bed

[MoraBella30]

I used 15 spf on my face and 8 on my body and I still tanned dark and I did layer it with margarita maddness, or nuvo bronz mega 10x, or ambrosia DD ( not all at once )

well honey u have that hot southern sun blarin down on ya lol i wouldn't want to be caught in that with a tingle on either lol

[colorgod]

I know. It's horrible. And will only get worse as the summer comes in.

[CarSmithUGA]

I use Supre's Cocoa Beach (regular- non tingle) outdoors and get a very good color boost from it. It smells like bubblegum to me and it reminds me of the beach

[colorgod]

Car is from here, he knows about that sun too.

[njchica]

what are you guys using outside this summer? I have Accomplice, Melted Butter, Maui Babe, and some PL lotion that smells like chocolate ice cream.

[BrownJen]

I'm using Accomplice outside at the beach this summer right now. It's giving me great color.

[MoraBella30]
