Get ready for the latest and greatest DHA-Free bronzer tanning lotion from Devoted Creations. They have an entire new Pauly D line of products for 2012, but Bronze Beats is the only natural bronzer.

Some tanners can have adverse reactions or allergies to DHA, and some just prefer to go the natural route, but either way this lotion has a lot more going for it than just a famous name.

Here are the main features of Bronze Beats: Multiple Accelerators, RevitaFit, Matrixyl, MelanoBronze Technology, Black Tea Extract, Silk Extracts, and FreshTek.

Basically what these ingredients do as a whole is give you fast, dark tanning results while toning, tightening and smoothing your skin. It contains an anti-aging complex to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and the Black Tea Extract is a strong antioxidant that can help reduce blemishes and tiny imperfections in your skin.

The natural bronzers also continue to work long after your session stimulating melanin production to further deepen your tan.

The fragrance of this lotion has been reported as a light coconut scent that is not overbearing and is good for both guys and girls. Normal bottle size is 12.25oz and the full retail price is about $60.

The 2012 Snooki Collection from Supre Tan (by Nicole Polizzi) features three unique lotions: an Ultra Dark Tan Maximizer, an Ultra Dark Black Bronzer, and an Ultra Dark Hot Bronzer. All 3 bottles have the same design but are different colors.

The Tan Maximizer lotion (in the gold bottle) does not contain any bronzers but still should give you nice dark color. Some people don't like bronzers, and others can't use them because of skin reactions, so it's nice that you have the option with the Snooki line. If you're new to tanning the maximizer lotion is a good place to start, and once you develop a bit of a base tan you can move up to the more intense lotions.

The Black Bronzer (in the black bottle) has pretty much the same description and ingredients as the maximizer, but with added Black Walnut, Henna and DHA bronzers. These allow your skin to continue to darken after your session for a super deep, dark tan.

The Hot Bronzer (in the pink bottle) is a combo bronzer + tingle tanning lotion formulated for experienced tanners looking to turn up the heat. It contains the same bronzer ingredients as the black bottle but also has added skin stimulators that create a hot tingling sensation on the skin. Tingle lotions can provide a rush of immediate color while the bronzers take their time and slowly make you darker. Some people don't like the effect of tinglers so if you've never used one before use a little caution at first.

All 3 lotions utilize Supre's HyperDark Technology, which helps prepare your skin for UV exposure to aid in developing a rich golden color. They also contain a vitamin enriched skin conditioner to assist in providing a radiant, healthy-looking glow, and SoftChic moisturizers with coconut and sweet almond oil to leave you feeling hydrated, sexy and silky smooth. All Snooki lotions are also paraben-free.

This line is fairly new but the feedback so far has been great. Tanners are saying that these lotions are actually pretty good and the scents are pleasant as well. The retail price of these lotions is right around $60.00.

Black Noir is a brand new 2012 tanning lotion from Designer Skin that they describe as a successor to Black 20X.

In you're not familiar, Black 20X was the original "Black" lotion released a few years ago, but continues to be a best-seller today. It set the bar for other lotions to match, and many tried to, including a bunch that just tried to piggy-back off the success of the name (DS claims that 45 other products with a similar name have entered the market since its debut).

Fast forward a few years and we have Black Noir, a 22X Black Label Private Reserve bronzer lotion that contains ultra-pure DHA and Erythulose to get you super dark. Despite the fact that this product doesn't have any hemp-based ingredients (which can provide ultimate moisturization) its Magical Silicone Emulsion will leave your skin radiant and silky smooth.

There are also ingredients in this lotion to help produce color faster and provide some anti-aging benefits. DS also boasts that their SunStay Technology and Fade Defying Formula help maintain and prolong the life of your tan.

Black Noir hasn't been out very long at the time of this writing, but the feedback so far has been very positive. The fact that Designer Skin is positioning this lotion right there at the top among Luminary and Black 20X also adds to its credibility.

This lotion comes in a gold sparkly bottle and has a refreshing citrus scent with a twist. The standard 13.5oz bottle retails for $110.00 and 0.5oz sample packets can run upwards of $10-$15 each.

Luminary 25X Bronzer is part of the Black Label Private Reserve collection from Designer Skin and is considered a dark tanning lotion. It is currently our #1 overall recommendation for the best lotion because it has been a consistent best-seller for well over a year now and it has a very high number and ratio of positive reviews.

The inspiration for Designer Skin to create Luminary came from the success of Black 20X and Phoenician, two of their other best-selling lotions. They wanted to create the ultimate bronzer and accelerator in one formula, and they succeeded.

Luminary enables skin to reach its max bronzing levels and gives you that super dark tan you've been looking for. Magic Solar Silicone Emulsion has been blended into this super exotic tanning bed lotion to hydrate your skin while maintaining its perfect color. Revolutionary L.E.D (Light Engaged Defiance) Complex takes charge and runs the show by controlling free radicals and warding off their aggressors. L.E.D Complex truly is revolutionary when it comes to tanning and maintaining skin health. Soft Celestial Stardust is in charge of making sure skin achieves ideal dimensions and even color. This unique feature also makes sure that you don't leave your tanning session without achieving that luxurious island glow. Skin will look and feel magnificent after your Luminary experience.

Luminary comes in a very sparkly blue bottle. DS says it has a Sweet Champagne Fizz scent, but most people say it smells like flowers or perfume (a very pleasant scent, even after your session). It comes in a 13.5 oz bottle which can sell for up to $120.00 at high-end salons.

Supre Smoke Black Bronzer indoor tanning lotion is one of the highest bronzers under the Smoke lotion line. Smoke comes in a variety of different intensities and bronzers all which are sold for a very affordable price. This is a tanning lotion with bronzer, which means you should wait a couple of hours before showering after tanning. If you shower immediately after your session you wont get the full darkness.

The black bronzer allows maximum results by continuing to darken the skin even after UV exposure. This is possible because it has a DHA self-tanning ingredient blended into it. DHA allows someone to get darker color up to 6 hours after tanning. Supre Smoke is specifically designed with botanical extracts which help hydrate skin and rejuvenate it after the intense UV exposure. It also has a special Skin Recovery System which induces your bodies natural abilities to make your skin look and feel it's best.

Supre Smoke Black Bronzer has been developed to allow your skin to attain the darkest possible color it can. This is done with special intensified tan extenders and bronzers for longer lasting and darker tanning results. When tanning some lotions leave awful streaks and uneven spots throughout the body, but not with Smoke - just remember to wash your hands promptly after your session. This is a NO tingle tanning lotion and comes in packet or bottle form. The packets are usually between .5-.8 fl. oz. and the bottle is 10.5 fl. oz. The price of such a tanning lotion should average about $26/ bottle.

Supre Smoke Black Bronzer is a 2 in 1 maximizer and continues to enhance results for several hours after the initial UV experience. This is a lotion usually used by medium level tanners. One should always remember to take into consideration the type of skin you have before tanning or using any lotion. For example some people with fair skin get red easier and later develop a tan. This is just a warning regardless of the lotion you use. This does not happen to everyone, some people who tan easily will clearly develop a dark tan quickly. It all depends on your skin and tanning history. Regardless, using a good tanning lotion is highly recommended for darker results and protection of your skin. If you need a good, dark bronzer tanning lotion for a reasonable price this product would be highly recommended.
