Tanning Lotion Reviews

California Tan Polaris P3 is a wonderful base tan bronzer. This means that it is recommended for individuals who have little or no tan and will formulate a rich dark color quickly. This product is excellent for people looking to protect and nourish their skin while achieving an envious tan. P3 Technology is a new formula specially designed for this indoor tanning lotion. I have personally not seen it in any other product yet. It is a mixture of Probiotics, Vitamin P and Pine Bark Extract. These are excellent items to have in your lotion because they focus on achieving the best and darkest results possible. Aside from having these ingredients blended into the P3 Technology they are also added on their own. Probiotics are placed into this tanning lotion because they are natural items which assist the skin in maintaining balance and clarity. Pine Bark Extract on its own functions as an antioxidant delivery agent. It also safeguards against free radicals which can cause damage and betters skin elasticity. Vitamin P comes from Passionflower Extract and is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-aging agent. Soft Triple Bronzextend Complex is yet another ingredient used in this indoor tanning lotion to increase tan build. It helps people build a natural looking tan within 2-4 hours of UV exposure. This allows for swift results and awesome glow. Vitatan2000 is an awesome feature to have because it uses vitamins, minerals, oxygen, antioxidants and energy to increase the speed at which a natural tan can be attained. This again works great for those looking for a quick tan that looks natural but still dark. It gives you the best of all worlds by providing results in such a short period of time. The Biosaccharide Complex is again my favorite ingredient. This is what allows you to be protected from after tan odor. Often after tanning you cannot always rinse off right away and an unpleasant smell might be formed from the tanning bed lotion and sweat. This can be avoided as long as your lotion features this product or a variation of it. Polaris P3 comes in a tall cylinder like plastic bottle. It fades from fusia to a light brown from bottom to top. The cap is brown and pops on and off. The top of the cap is very unique and looks like a compass. In the center of the bottle "polaris" is written in small gold font. "CALIFORNIA TAN" is written at the bottom of the bottle in gold. This is not a cheap tanning lotion and will absolutely give you the darkest base tan you've ever seen! It has a Summer Passion Fruit scent and comes in a 10 oz bottle. It retails for $60.00.

California Tan Cypher Step 1 is a base tan builder which means that it is a great product for those who have little or no tan and are trying to build some color quickly. It is recommended for those looking to achieve the darkest results possible in the shortest time. Cypher Step 1 uses D-Cypher Complex which unlocks proteins that amp up melanin production throughout the body. This is a great feature to have because the more melanin production the richer your tone will be. X-Treme Tanning Catalyst (XTC) is an extremely potent new ingredient which is responsible for making sure you receive a streak -free even tan. Vitatan2000 uses vitamins, minerals, energy, oxygen and antioxidants to increase the speed at which skin can form a natural looking tan. Cypher Step 1 bronzer tanning lotion also uses Skin Firming Peptides and an Age Defense system to keep skin in tip top shape. The Skin-Firming Peptides do exactly as they say, they help keep skin firm and toned while increasing collagen production and protecting elastin. The Age Defense System implemented into this tanning salon lotion uses a mix of Acai Berry and Narcissus Bulb to rid wrinkles and fine lines often attained from excessive UV exposure. The ingredients also help by attempting to protect skin from even reaching such damaging points by using all the above elements to keep it healthy and young. The Biosaccharide Complex is a unique tool which has begun to show up in most lotions. It is placed here to prevent after tan odor which often occurs after UV exposure. This is an excellent item to include in your tanning bed lotion and I highly recommend you buy a product that features it or some variation of it. This is not a cheap tanning lotion and for the intense darkness you will achieve from it, it shouldn’t be. You will be the envy of your friends and will feel beautiful and refreshed when you see your golden glow. It comes in a vertically rectangular plastic bottle. It is durable and generally teal in color throughout. It has some gold accents around the top and has "CALIFORNIA TAN" written in gold at the bottom. "Cypher" is written in gold font vertically in the center. Cypher Step 1 has a Zesty Lime Verbena scent and comes in a 6.8 oz bottle. Salon retail price is $118.00 for this color defying product.

This lotion has all the ingredients to protect, rejuvenate and maximize skin health. Guilty Pleasure Step 2 is best for people who already have a base tan and are looking to enhance and optimize color quickly. Some ingredients included are Fast Tan and CuO2. These compounds are responsible for increasing richness of tan and accelerating the process. They increase melanin production while providing copper peptides, and Oxygen to activate and prepare skin for tanning. Luxurious Skin-Dulgence is a key agent in maintaining skin softness and hydration. This item uses extracts of pearl, cashmere, satin and silk to indulge skin and promote velvety smoothness. TRF2000 and Kola Caffeine are used to prevent fine lines and wrinkling, preserve firmness and increase collagen production. The combination of these components increases color, skins overall appearance and youth. Biosaccharide Complex is implemented to eliminate after tan odor for those on the go that cannot rinse of right away or are waiting because of bronzer instructions.

Beach Bum Rum is best for giving a golden island glow. When people see your color they will think you just came back from a vacation. This product is generally not a base tanner. It is recommended for those who already have a base tan and are trying to build that tan up. This will be the perfect tanning lotion to boost your tan to that deep exotic level. Ingredients that this lotion is made of include Dark Triple Bronzer, Vitatan 2000, Caribbean Rum Extract, Grape Seed Oil, Coconut Oil and Biosaccharide Complex. The Dark Triple Bronzer provides enhancement in color within 2-4 hours for those who already have a base tan built up. Vitatan 2000 uses vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, oxygen and energy to increase production of melanin and thus increase tan darkness. The combination of those two agents creates a wonderful scenario where the richest golden tan is possible. The Carribbean Rum extract ensures skin hydration since UV light can dry out your skin. This ingredient will moisturize and rehydrate your skin. Coconut Oil does pretty much the same thing and attempts to keep skin from losing moisturize while maintaining its silky smoothness. Grape Seed oil prevents wrinkles from forming and helps control free radical damage. As I mention in every post that has this item or a variation of it, this last item is my favorite. The Biosaccharide Complex is what I am referring to because it eliminates after tan odors. A lot of people are on the go and cannot rinse off immediately after UV exposure while others simply need to wait for optimal tanning results because they use bronzers. Waiting to rinse off usually causes odors that are unpleasant and unfresh and the Biosaccharide Complex rids this issue. California Tan Beach Bum Rum comes in a vertically rectangular plastic bottle. It has colors of brown, red, white, orange and beige. In the front there is an image of three palm trees and a sunset in the background. It creates a very relaxed island vibe.

This product is great because it has anti-aging agents, firming formula and bronzers. This tanning lotion blend includes Soft Triple Bronzer, Body Bling Blend, Flawless Tint, Coenzyme Q10, Vitatan 2000, Biosaccharide Complex, Fast Tan and Caffeine Firmers. For those that are not frequent tanners and are just starting their tanning journey, the Soft Triple Bronzer is ideal. This agent ensures that you get some natural color within 2-4 hours of application. The Flawless Tint formula achieves immediate color while Fast Tan provides support for optimal melanin production, which in return provides a quick, dark, sexy tan. Coenzyme Q10 focuses its efforts on making sure skin has the best feel possible and elasticity is improved. Caffiene Firmers basically work with the Coenzyme because they also focus on skin texture. They hope to achieve skin firmness which in turn bestows ageless flawless skin. The Biosaccharide Complex is essential for those on the go or using a bronzer tanning lotion. It eliminates all odors enabling you to continue to go about your day after tanning and still not smell. Vitatan 2000 is an ingredient which focuses on bringing in antioxidants, oils, extracts, oxygen and minerals to help skin produce a quick tan in as little time as possible. The last item included in this blend is Body Bling which seems to be new in the tanning world (or at least I have never heard of it). This feature of the indoor tanning lotion focuses on bringing different gems together to deliver minerals to the skin and balance it out. Lotions are getting more and more complex these days because people are more aware of the negative aspects of tanning. In order to tan and reduce damage to skin it is important to familiarize yourself with the ingredients in the newest and most popular lotions. You can then in turn focus on the important factors in tanning lotions that help keep skin looking and feeling healthy so you can buy the appropriate lotion for yourself. California Tan Bronze Bling comes in an hour glass shaped bottle. It is black on the bottom and pomegranate on the top. There is a design of people dancing on the bottom half of the lotion.

The cap is black and screws on and pops off. This item has a spiced berry scent and comes in a 13.0 oz bottle which retails for $48.00.

A brown scroll is also wrapped around the stem with writing on it. "Dark" is written in thin medium font at the middle of the rose. It is in orange-brownish color and is outlined in black. Following that is "Thrill" in much larger font with the same color pattern. Towards the bottom of the tanning lotion there is a gold filled oval with "California Tan" written in simple white font. The cap is round, red and semi-transparent. It pops on and off. This indoor lotion is luxurious, relaxing and excellent for those seeking immediate tanning results. It uses bronzer, advanced tanning, anti-aging serum and firming complex to seduce its users into obsession. This is an all in one lotion that has everything you could possibly ask for. You will receive the ultimate tan while pampering your skin too. This product is recommended for those who are not beginner tanners and already have a base tan. This indoor tanning lotion is for those who want to take a base tan to another level.

These products work together to increase melanin production, stimulate skin cells and prepare them for UV exposure.

TRF2000 and Kola Caffeine work together to prevent damage, fine lines and wrinkles to skin. It also assists in collagen production to emanate a youthful flawless skin vibe. Skin will be toned, firm and moisturized. Biosaccharide Complex is used to reduce and eliminate after tan odor. Not all people can shower or rinse immediately after tanning either because they are busy and on the go or their tanning lotion recommends waiting a few hours before doing so. This can sometimes cause unpleasant odors or give off an unclean scent. With this new technology lotions can be kept on and allow you to uphold a lovely scent. Speaking of smells this popular indoor lotion has a coconut rumba scent. It comes in a 12.0 oz bottle and retails for $44.00.

This item is a base tan product. It is best for continual tanners that want top notch results in minimal time. Ionyx has a unique time released hydration blend which makes sure your skin is moisturized, hydrated and healthy. This product features ion therapy, time released hydration, TryoStan, Vitatan 2000, Biosaccharide Complex and a number of minerals and oils. The ion therapy is very extraordinary because it works with the heat of the tanning laps or the natural sun to revamp your skin. When tanning skin can get stressed and damaged easily and having an agent like this would rejuvenate any damage occurring. The Vitatan 2000 is another important feature. This item has a number of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which help your skin produce a natural tan quickly. TryoStan is a one-of-a-kind technology which helps produce melanin for a rapid even tan. Some other minerals and ingredients included in Ionxy are: Cocoa Caffine which provides for a firm, toned, ageless appearance, Grape Seed oil which prevents lines and wrinkles from forming and Vitamin E which implements moisture and softness while at the same time trying to decrease fine lines. Vitamin E is also good for your skin because it uses antioxidants to assist in neutralizing free radicals which cause skin to look loose, wrinkly and old. You can call this an anti-aging tanning lotion. My favorite ingredient of this indoor tanning lotion is the Biosaccharide Complex because it is what helps eliminate odor after tanning. This allows people to go out immediately after tanning and not have to run home to shower because it ensure you don’t smell! Ionyx is an excellent base tan builder and is very popular. It has a mint chai tea smell and comes in a 7.0 oz bottle. California Tan Ionyx Step 1 comes in a round cylinder like bottle. It is orange and has a random thin line design all over.

Vitatan 2000 is yet another ingredient implemented into this lotion which assists in improving the time it takes color to naturally develop. It uses vitamins, antioxidants and oxygen to motivate skin cells to increase melanin production, stay moisturized and energetic. Cellular Shield and Triple Cocoa Caffeine help promote healthy skin. These ingredients use oils to create an ageless appearance with firm, moisturized and toned skin. Since tanning takes a lot of moisture out of your skin it is important to make sure your indoor tanning lotion has some silicone agents. Oasis has Mango Silicone Technology which focuses on hydrating skin with a soft mango butter moisturizer. Your skin will be soft and plump with hydration.
