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.

Supre Hempz 20X Bronzer features a ridiculously dark bronzing blend that will quickly give you a rich dark tan. This product was first introduced in 2011 and has been a favorite since it hit the markets. Not only do you get an absolutely insane golden glow from this indoor tanning lotion but you'll also get it FAST! These ingredients ensure that you get the maximum color possible in minimal time. Your color will be even, streak-free and long-lasting. The ultra dark bronzing blend also continues to darken skin even after UV exposure is complete to even further darken your color. It is vegan, paraben-free and gluten-free. One awesome feature about this unique formula is that it uses Hemp Seed Oil to nourish, moisturize and hydrate skin. This will leave your skin feeling super smooth, silky, taut and healthy. Thislotion is an excellent choice because it provides you with ridiculous results that also protect and sooth your skin. Although getting the golden hue you want is important it is also necessary to remember to take care of your skin and make sure its hydrated and at its optimal level. Skin can get damaged very easily when it is exposed to UV rays and there are many ways you can protect yourself from it. Choosing a tanning product that has vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, silicones and moisturizers is definitely the best way. Supre Hempz 20x Bronzer has a Honeydew Drop scent that will make your mouth water and also make you smell crazy fresh. This item can be classified as a bronzer, hemp and paraben-free lotion. It comes in a sturdy, plastic cylinder-like shaped bottle. It is black with a small green hemp leaf at the top. "HEMPZ" is written under the image in large simple white font. Toward the middle "20x Bronzer Tan Maximizer" is written in smaller simple white font. At the bottom there is a list of ingredients and items in the lotion written in the same white font in extremely small font. The cap is plastic and pops on and off. It comes in a 10 oz bottle and retails for $55.00.

Australian Gold Global Hottie this is a hot new 2011 tanning lotion. It is considered a tingle but has bronzer in it. An excellent feature of tingle lotions is that you can shower immediately after UV exposure but when you use strictly a bronzer you have to wait a few hours to achieve optimal results before rinsing off. The tingle formula has a unique combination of natural bronzer and intense tingle to create insanely dark tans. When using this type of lotion you should expect skin to get extremely red before getting dark. It is also important to note that while you are in the tanning bed the tingling sensation is not enjoyed by all. Some people find it painful and irritating (such as myself). Initially when using this type of product you will redden but you will turn a dark sexy shade shortly after. Indoor tanning lotions that use tingle formulas provide instant results. The Age Defying Blend used in this item is infused with Vitamin A, E & B5. These agents defend against premature aging while Soft Focus Microspheres assist in decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin is easily hydrated with the Hemp Seed Oil and HydraRich Blend. The Hemp Seed Oil uses fatty and amino acids to provide essential moisture to the skin. The HydraRich Blend has a very similar effect but it supplies hydration because of very different ingredients. These components are Jojoba, Shea Butter and Glycerin and they create a barrier around the skin and lock moisture in. This is an important feature to have because UV exposure in a salon can be dangerous and can have adverse effects on your skin. Some of the negative effects can be dry, rough, wrinkly, old looking skin. Yet these can all be protected against if you find the right lotion and take the proper steps to nourish skin. With this ingredient skin can be left feeling luscious and super soft. Australian Gold Global Hottie comes in a square shaped plastic bottle. It looks like a collage and has a lot going on on its exterior. Colors that can be seen are red, hot pink, white, black, yellow, grey and blue. There is a British flag seen on the bottle and bright red lips. In the center "GLOBAL" is written vertically in simple black font adjacent to "HOTTIE" in bold larger black font. The cap is plastic, yellow and screws open and closed. This product is Paraben Free and THC Free. It has an amplified apple fragrance and comes in an 8.5 oz bottle. It retails for $38.00.

This indoor tanning lotion by Supre has 6x bronzing blend which works with a DHA delivery system. These two products combined allow skin to continue getting dark even after UV exposure. You can achieve darker results up to 12 hours after tanning. This tanning bed lotion will also keep your tan super radiant and rich for up to 8 days after exposure. This product also features 6x tingle. This means that when the UV light heats your skin up, you will feel a tingling heat sensation that some people just plain hate. Some people think this feature works great because you can usually shower shortly after tanning and see full color immediately afterwards, but others find it too painful and not worth it. Those tanners would probably prefer a bronzer tanning lotion or tan accelerator. The tingle increases circulation in the skin which is probably why you feel a slight sensation. Another ingredient this item has is MelanoMax Dark Tanning Complex which is responsible for stimulating melanin receptors. This increase the speed and intensity of your tan. It allows tanners to achieve a natural rich tan that other tanning lotions might not be able to give. Advanced Silicone Blend and IllumiLast Tan Extender are two more ingredients implemented into this hot commodity. The Advanced Silicone Blend brings moisture and hydration to the table. It conditions skin and keeps it smooth and silky. The IllumiLast Tan Extenders compound is a blend of Coffee Berry, Honey Dew and Tyrosine. The above elements protect tan color from fading. These items work together to ensure the longest life for your tan. A lot of people go tanning and get a very deep dark color quickly but see it fade away rather quite fast. This specialized ingredient makes sure that that doesn’t happen to you! Supre Torch comes in an hour glass shaped bottle. It is plastic and has a flame design throughout. Colors used are red, yellow, orange and purple. In the center of the bottle there is a large flaming circle. "TOURCH" is written in the circle in white font. It is followed by "TINGLE BRONZER 6X" in the same white font just smaller in size. Towards the bottom of the lotion "Smooth Silicone Blend with MelanoMax Dark Tanning Complex & IllumiLast Extenders, Paraben-Free" is written in smaller white font. At the bottom of the container "Supre Tan" logo is written in bold white font. The top is plastic and has a swirl ridged design. The ridges are there for better gripping. The top is silver and twists open and closed. This product has a Fiery Mandarin scent and comes in a 12 oz bottle. It retails for $62.00 and is carried by most salons.

Made For Love gives off a very feminine vibe but can be used by any sex. This product features Affectionate Quadruple Bronzer formula which includes Black Tea Extracts to achieve optimal color. The quadruple bronzer is a key ingredient in this blend because it gives us 5x the darkness. Yet when this item is mixed with the black tea extract it is unstoppable. Results will be swift, even and super dark. One great reason people love this new 2010 tanning lotion, is because it is 98% hypoallergenic. This means that it will not irritate you and is ok for sensitive skin. A lot of indoor tanning lotions don’t have this feature which is why this lotion is an excellent choice. No more tanning and having break outs. Now you can tan all you want and have your skin be protected and look just as clear as it did before the UV exposure. Designer Skin Made for Love also uses Aloe Vera in the formula. This makes sure that your skin is hydrated, moisturized and smooth. A lot of the time after intense UV exposure, skin can feel dry and damaged, but with the aloe vera implement into this tanning lotion, that can be avoided. This is also considered a Paraben-Free product which again is great for those that are sensitive to certain items. Designer Skin Made for Love comes in a potion shaped bottle. It has a unique design which is pleasant to look at. The bottle is covered in hot pink, black and purple colors. There is a yellow heart in the middle with "made for love" written in thick bubbly black font across it. "Affectionate Quadruple Bronzer, Hypoallergenic, Genuine Scent/Paraben Free" is written toward the bottom in small white font outlined in black. "DESIGNER SKIN" is written in hot pink at the very bottom of the container. It also has a silver plastic screw on top which has ridges for better gripping. This lotion has a Natural Fruit Essence scent and comes in a 13.5 oz bottle. It retails for $57.00 and most salons sell it for that much.

Australian Gold Sheer Elements is a new 2010 tanning lotion. It uses Tourmaline to energize minerals in skin and promote microcirculation throughout. This product does not use tingle which means it will not sting, burn or cause redness when applied and exposed to UV light. The above sounds quite painful and for some it is, but a good deal of tanners actually enjoy tingle tanning lotion. They feel it is a warm tingling sensation that allows them immediate results. Whether tingle is for you is your decision but tanners be warned. Yet again, this is NOT a tingle lotion. Sheer Elements uses dark color 92 and Earth Minerals to achieve super dark results. The Earth Minerals consist of Zinc, Calcium and Copper which help increase melanin production which essentially is in charge of coloring your skin. Melanin needs to be activated and receptive of the UV light and then color can be achieved. This tanning salon lotion also has a unique Mineral Preservation System which allows your skin to basically store and preserve its minerals. Therefore when you tan your minerals will not be depleted but rather protected. It also is a Paraben-Free substance which is great for those tanners with sensitive skin. This ingredient will ensure that your skin stays clear and break-out free. Sheer Elements tanning lotion also uses 92 Earth Minerals in its blend. These feature Copper, Zinc and Calcium. These are all excellent for your skin and allow the best results to be achieved in the shortest period of time.

Salons charge $72.00 retail.

This product has ultra dark bronzer which increases melanin production to produce a deeper darker tan. Cooling agents are also used to prepare skin for UV exposure by refreshing and soothing it. Hemp Seed oil has fatty acids and vitamins such as vitamin E which moisturizes, softens, and tightens skin. Optiglow is another important ingredient in this formula. It is responsible for creating healthy, glowing skin that is youthful and full of life. This indoor tanning lotion is paraban-free and has a Tahitian mango scent. It will ensure skin is taken care of and the best color attainable is achieved. Designer Skin Believe in Me comes in a tear drop shaped plastic bottle.
