Ed Hardy’s Second Season Impresses!

Posted on January 26, 2010 in Beauty/Fashion, Celebrities, Featured Hotties, Health/Fitness, Lotion Reviews by tanning

I was the doubter! I’ll admit it! However, there is nothing wrong with being proven wrong and in this case I’m thrilled! I should say first that I’m a fashionable lady, and not just because I’m in the biz, I would be obsessed no matter what. I tried the Ed Hardy products last season and didn’t get the results I was hoping for, which saddened me because I ADORE all of the Ed Hardy brand. So with the launch of the new products this year and that we were going to be carrying them here, I was thinking maybe the brand should stick to fashion!

This is where I was proven wrong! I’m thrilled with the 2010 Ed Hardy Tanning Lotions and I believe you will be too! Below is some info regarding each of the products to help you decide what is the best for you! As always if you have any questions please feel free to ask! Liz, The Tanning Girl

*Dragon Rose: The full line can be divided into a few categories, if I were to do this myself I would say this is a step 1 lotion. It is a great mid priced bronzer with coco butter and great fragrance and the Ed Hardy signature bottle.

*Geisha: Another step 1 lotion, an accelerator with a clean ocean mist scent and a nice middle of the road retail price.

*True To My Love: the remaining step 1 lotion, is oil free so it’s perfect for all skin types, unisex clean scent

*Ghost Skull: a step up over the previously listed lotions (and my favorite!!) An energizing bronzer with body blush and fresh citrus scent

*Diving Dragon: another step 2 lotion the accelerator and mega bronzer of the bunch, don’t like body blush, go with this, you won’t be disappointed!

*Love Kills Slowly: Time released bronzer with silicon and coconut milk, it’s heaven for the skin with a great citrus scent.

*Koi Fish: The step 2 accelerator, perfect for all skin types and for either men or women with it’s light fragrance

*Mermaid: A Sunless tan spray copes out in a light fine mist and the sunkissed color lasts without extreme fading or streaking

*Cross My Heart: A must have moisturizer if you are a UV or sunless tanner! Has tan extenders to boost color and the life of your tan. The refreshing scent makes it great for a man or a woman!!

Why Your Tanning Lotion, Shower Gel and Moisturizer Shouldn’t Come From a Super Store

Posted on December 18, 2009 in Beauty/Fashion, Health/Fitness, Tanning DON’Ts, Tanning Solutions by The Tanning Guy

Super stores are great places for low prices on items you use everyday, we’re not knocking them, we shop there too! There are just some items, especially tanning lotion, moisturizer and shower gel, when you’re building or working on keeping a great tan, you shouldn’t purchase from a super store.

Now we here at www.lotions-for-less.com aren’t knocking what’s on the shelves at your local places just so you’ll shop the largest selection of discount tanning lotion on the Internet. There are very legitimate reasons why the products we sell are better and safer!

Here Are Our Reasons:

(1.) Tanning lotion has a shelf life and is sensitive to temperatures both hot and cold, so do moisturizers and shower gels. Many super stores utilize warehouses to receive their stock and distribute it from there. By the time the lotion, moisturizer or shower gel is in your cart and heading home with you, how long has it been sitting. You need to be especially careful of items that are Paraben or preservative free as this decreases the shelf life drastically. In our 10 years of experience we know how much to keep on hand of products and when to order. We never have lotion on hand that sits and sits before you ever order!

(2.) To sell items to a super store at low costs so consumers also get a low price, manufacturers use lower quality ingredients. There is a big difference between a $0.99 product and a $10.00, we guarantee you’ll see the difference in the product if you purchase and use both!

(3.) Buy from manufacturers and sellers who know their customer. It may sound simple but tanning people know tanning people. You can get quality product, tanning support and service like that at a big box store.

Purchasing from someone who knows and backs up their product is so important, this is the health and glow of your skin after all, make the investment to take care of it!!

The Secret to the Perfect Tan-Volume 2

Posted on December 17, 2009 in Ask the Tanning Guy, Beauty/Fashion, Health/Fitness by The Tanning Guy

Welcome back to our Thursday blog, The Secret to the Perfect Tan! This week we will discuss a new technology in tanning: Instant Bronzers-The Last Minute Tan!

Due to work and life schedules it is hard for patrons to make it to the salon to tan; this leaves them running into the salon at the last minutes before an event to try and get some extra color. Tanning lotion manufacturers have worked to meet this need and have developed lotions for this purpose.

Now first we feel we should repeat one of the cardinal rules of tanning: NEVER BURN, NEVER, EVER BURN! If you are down to the wire on tanning time for an event do not overexpose yourself for the sake of trying for some color. Okay now that we have that out of the way…..

At the last minute, specially developed lotions can be your best friend. You will want to look for products offering ‘instant bronzers’, ’special occasion bronzers’, ‘rapid release bronzers’ and ‘ultra potent bronzers’ to name a few. We really enjoy and have had great results using the following:

(1.) Designer Skin Golden Ceremony: instant color gratification comes from DHA Erythrulose and Black Walnut Extract in an 8.5 oz bottle. Stick to using this one for special occasions so that it keeps its potent interaction with your skin. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17658&cat=0&page=3

(2.) Designer Skin Masquerade: Rapid release botanical extracts, ruby grapefruit and orange, boost color. The 10.0 oz bottle is formulated for everyday use if you choose. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17811&cat=0&page=4

(3.) Designer Skin Paramour: Paraben free with Tyrosine for rapid color. The 13.5 oz bottle is formulated for everyday use if you choose. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17656&cat=0&page=5

(4.) Devoted Creations White 2 Black: Super potent bronzing lotion justifiably boasts 3 shades darker in 1 session and smells great! This 8.5oz bottle is another one to save for special occasions to keep it’s potency.

Enjoy the links to our suggestions and please never hesitate to email us if there are any tanning questions that you have!!

Great Legs! Tanning the Most Difficult Part of the Body to Tan.

Posted on December 15, 2009 in Beauty/Fashion by tanning

Here at Lotions-For-Less, your one source for the largest selection of discount tanning lotions on the Internet, get tons of emails and Myspace messages begging us for help! We feel your pain and are here to help! Today we’ll tackle tanning for the hardest part of the body to tan, the legs!!

Most of our leg tanning struggles come from our female customers. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as women look at what we do to our legs and feet! Shaving is the biggest deterrent to building a tan on the legs, the second is blood flow being inhibited by shows that are too tight.

From our selection of cheap tanning lotions, you can use the following to aid in tanning your gams:

(1.) Shower Gels/Exfoliators: A quality shower gel not only cleans the skin but replenishes moisture to extend the tan. Try California Tan’s Daily ResCu Body Wash. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17539&cat=263&page=1 A weekly exfoliation also aids in removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating the look of the skin. Exfoliation is essential if you are going to self/spray tan. Try Matahari’s Luminous Body Scrub. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17734&cat=263&page=1

(2.) Leg Formulated Tanning Lotion: Lotion manufacturers have heard the leg’s cries for tanning help and have answered! Leg tanning lotions contain great moisturizers, chemical or natural bronzers and sometimes they will utilize a thermal formula (heat and/or tingle). We recommend you try the following:

Synergy Filthy Rich Las Vegas Legs: Chemical Bronzers with a Thermal Formula. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17254&cat=257&page=1

Designer Skin Gorgeous Gams: Chemical Bronzers and Anti-Cellulite Formula. http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17659&cat=257&page=1

Devoted Creations Leg Work: Natural Bronzers and lots of moisturizers http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17789&cat=257&page=1

(3.) Thermal tanning lotions: Many of our clients have told us they love these lotions to give them that extra boost in color to their legs. The heat in these lotions are often hotter than those found in the thermal leg formulas. Remember with any type of thermal tanning lotion, make sure you have a great moisturizer.

(4.) Self Tanner: Another option for darker legs, utilizing self tanner for some extra color. If you’re going to use this option make sure you exfoliate prior to the self tanner application and moisturize after the required setting time!

We hope you’ve found some helpful answers on leg tanning today. As always feel free to email us from our website or at support@lotions-for-less.com. You can also catch up with us on our MySpace page at www.myspace.com/lotions-for-less

Just For Men-Guys Tan Too!

Posted on December 12, 2009 in Ask the Tanning Guy, Health/Fitness, Just for Him by The Tanning Guy

Tanning isn’t just a female dominated service, Guys love the benefits also! Today we’ll help our guy fans sort through all the floral scents and feminine names to find the best lotions to meet your needs.

All tanning lotions are unisex. Products may have ingredients that cater their use to males or females but none of these ingredients have an adverse effect if used by the opposite of the originally intended sex. So the moral of the story is figure out what works best for you and use it!

The past few years have been good to the world of tanning products for men. Scents have been developed for lotions and moisturizers to more resemble the scents of popular men’s colognes and body products. The following are a few of our favorites: http://www.lotions-for-less.com/home.php?cat=285&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&page=1

(1.) Designer Skin Bronze Camouflage: One of the original for men tanning lotions. Dark quadruple bronzers, cooling factors and a sandalwood scent make it one of our best sellers.

http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=16860&cat=285&page=1

(2.) Devoted Creations H.I.M Moisturizer: New for 2010 and already a top seller! Hydrating Intense Moisturizer with Vitamin E and Shea Butter with a warm Amber fragrance make it a winner for years to come!

http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17790&cat=285&page=1

(3.) Supre Hammer: Supre knows tanning lotion and hits a home run with Hammer. Dark tanning boosters with formulation to penetrate deeper into the skin. (More often than not a man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s) Scent is very light and un-overwhelming.

http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17397&cat=285&page=2

(4.) Pro Tan Mad Maxx: Also new for 2010, this 10x bronzer creamy oil (great for quick absorption into the skin) this lotion incorporates something we mentioned previous, a designer scent! Men’s Versace scents this lotion for a great tan odor!

http://www.lotions-for-less.com/product.php?productid=17782&cat=285&page=2

All the Just For Men products in our large selection of discount tanning lotions have exceptional ingredients for great results. Overall the most important factor is that you find what gives you the best tan possible. Our customer service reps are always available to assist you with any questions you might have!

Harmony, Sunshine and Happy Tanning!
