Is it best to apply pre or post tanning bed session? Or both?

I apply it before, it can stain your hands so I do it right after I get out if the shower then I can wash my hands and go tanning after.

I would put it on before you go tanning, that way you can see the results better. Use it every time you tan and you will be darker.

its best to apply pre tanning bed about 30 min so your skin has enough time to absorb the lotion.

Apply it before you go in. The rays from the bed are what activate it to work!

pre-tanning! if you want to lock in even more moisture i would use just a basic lotion later on in the day.

No this is after tanning lotion which helps protect and prolong your tan. Use it every day. For tanning use a quality tanning bed lotion.

Immediately dab on elbows, ankles, tops of toes, etc. after applying tanner. I sometimes will put on a light coat on problem areas before applying tanner too.

Personally I would wait at least 24 hours to use this after a spray tan session before applying it. Other than that, I use it daily whether I tan or not.

I can't say whether Black Legacy is better. I have only used the Elusive. But I can say that Elusive is the best tanning product I have ever used. Within a few visits you will be darker than you ever have been. Just remember, don't shower for several hours after you tan. I actually tan in the late afternoon, and then shower the next morning before work. My guess is Black Legacy is a great product. But you would really like Elusive.

Oh yeah! :) but I feel like non bronzers are better for starting a base tan, but this lotion will get you dark quick, that's my favorite part.

I would do a coat before bed on April 10th. Wash off the guide in the morning. Do another coat before bed on April 11th and wash off guide morning of April 12th. Make sure you moisturize with body butter or something thick the morning of the 12th to keep your skin nice and moisturized and hydrated. I'm very very pale so one coat is not enough for my liking. I always do two nights in a row for whole body and sometimes even third night just on my legs because they never seem to take color as good as rest of my body. Hope that helps. Oh also don't forget hands. After you're done with whole body, whatever is left on mitt run over top of hands and fingers. I would do a coat before bed on April 10th.

I apply it with my hands and just wash really well after with soap and warm water. I just reach back or have someone do it for you. This is the best tanning stuff I've tried and I've tried several brands. Yes, I use it on my face as well. After a couple applications you will have a great natural looking tan.

Hello, what kind of bed are you wanting to replace these on? Changing 8 lamps of a 16/24 lamp bed will not be better. In fact it can cause you to get odd tan lines. I don't recommend changing laps like this. Depending on the bed I can recommend a dual lamp which would have little UVB for the facial area to help with facial tanning. We have been in the tanning business for 20+ years so if you have questions about what you should do get the most of your tanning sessions please feel free to ask!

I love this bronzer and use it in tanning beds and along with my outdoor tanning lotion. Apply the bronzer first, then your outdoor tanning lotion.

The soft brown side and the self tanner has some color to it so you can see it on your skin as you apply it. Be sure not to shower for 8 to 10 hrs after application Be very easy over elbows knees heels and feet. Apply a few nights now row to reach desired color then only reapply once a week. Before first application exfoliate vigorously and shake it really does help absorb the color. I hope this helps!

I didn't actually use mine in a tanning bed. I go on vacation and never come home with a tan. I recently just took this lotion to Mexico, and I came back with a definitely noticable tan. I works in the natural sun for sure. Just watch the amount that you put on your face, I found when I started to sweat from the heat, it got in my eyes and it stung a bit.

Ultra dark is the darkest for me. After one application you will achieve a nice tan base color. I use it 4 days in a row to achieve a dark tan and after that only once-twice a week for maintenance. I suggest using the lotion before bed ( it will stain sheets a bit). Your palms will stain a bit but if you wash your hands with soap right away followed by any whitening toothpaste it will take all the color off your hands.

the formulation is for low UV emissions like in a tanning bed and it does not have any PABA (UV protection) formulation. you would probably burn very easily instead of tan. The formulation is designed to stimulate the production of melanin (the chemical in your body that is released when exposed to UV rays) which makes your skin turn darker. Some people have more of this than others. This is why some people can tan darker than others even though they have been exposed to the same or more natural sunlight. You do not want to burn your skin. This damages your skin and can predispose you to melanomas (skin cancer) if you burn your skin too often.

I use it in the tanning bed and outdoors at the pool or beach after I have a good base tan. I tan fairly easily, but do get a little red if I go without some sunscreen before I have a base tan. The accelerator, is geared more for the tanning bed, I think. It helps keep your skin moisturized and allows you to get tan faster. I think an enhancer and accelerator are pretty much the same. I love Australian Gold products and have used them for years. Great products and smell wonderful too!

I don't think that after tan means a different formula.....with my experience it's all the same. Hope I answered your question.
