Recently, I headed back to the tanning salon after many months off, and wanted to find something that intensified the "warmth" of the bed. After getting a decent base tan (for me about 3 weeks, 2-3 times a week, and 8-12 minutes), I asked around for suggestions. This product was used by one of the salon attendants, and so I gave it a try.First off, it doesn't smell too great- kind of like oranges, and olive oil. But, once you put it on, you notice how "moist" it feels. It does not soak in right away, and even after a 12 minute tanning session in a normal bed, it tends to still be wet on my skin. But, if you like the "tingle" and "heat" sensation, this lotion is pretty decent at achieving that goal. Even hours after tanning, I felt as though I had just stepped out of the tanning bed. Pros: Very moisturizing; pins and needles feeling (for me*); little goes a long way; noticable difference in tanning- I used it on my legs only to intensify that area. Cons: I didn't like the smell at all on my skin. I wouldn't use it on my face- for fear of burning (it gets hot), and for fear of feeling oily for the rest of the day.
