Why is a post-tan moisturizer better than regular body lotion/cream?

This lotion is applied after tanning not before, it's to help your tan last longer so that any bronzer that you're using in your tanning lotion doesn't fade . It also helps keep your skin from drying out like most tanning beds will do to your skin and regular lotions can't mend, using Aloe Vera under Juicy will also help the drying of the skin. None are really better than the other it's just the method in which you use them. I Love using the Juicy after tanning, I don't walk out of the salon smelling like a burnt bed like how tanning lotion alone will leave your skin.

I've used different moisturizers at night - Neo Strata,La Roche-Posay. I just tried collagen hydrator byPCA skin and like it. It's thick but not greasy, especially now when the furnace heat tends to dry your skin. In the daytime I use hydrator plus spf 30 by PCA skin.

My skin is definitely light / medium and it works good. But, when I get tan, it doesn't make me look pale at all - - it's like a lightly tinted moisturizer with a primer built in (that's the best way I can explain it). Probably wouldn't work on dark skin well though.

A serum is more concentrated, a moisturizer hydrates the skin. I would actually recommend both products because they are very different.

I don't think a ton of color..maybe it depends on the person. Myself, I think that having a base tan, you will do much better than someone who's just starting out. I didn't experience deep dark color with it even with a base tan. But while I do like this lotion, I think that Swedish Beauty's Intensifier did a much better job for me by itself.

This is only a tan extender, meaning to keep your skin soft and to rejuvenate moisture after tanning. I recommend "Smile! You're darker" tanning lotion for people who have a base tan already, or any designer skin product that is a tan accelerator.

I don't use it as a tanning lotion but if you do tan, allways moisturize, you will get better color and soft skin if you cream-up everyday. this way, you don't have to use tanning products unless you want to. I use a bronzer once in a while. from Amazon of course. don't pay salon prices, they mark them up 3 times. find something you like and get it from Amazon.

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

I usually don't it works as both. Sometimes if my skin is super dry I wear a light moisturizer under. I now use it as a lotion and bb cream under bare minerals powder.

I do. I'm pretty sure it's best to use a moisturizer after any serum. Mainly because serums are kinda liquidey and require a bit of time before they leave your face feeling soft and supple. In contrast, moisturizer instantly hydrates.

I think you will notice some difference in your skin. It does moisturize skin skin better than a lot of other products I've tried. Whether that is enough for you, only you can answer.

I have the moist lotion--I am not sure about the smooth you are referring to. I highly recommend the moist though. You must be prepared, however, to use it differently than the usual lotions sold in the States. It is very thin, so you put it on your face and let it absorb. This means that you really cannot put any other products on your face until it is absorbed. I love it, however, because my facial skin has never been so moisturized.

I wouldn't recommend using any regular body bronzing tanning lotion on your face because it'll clog your pores and make you break out. I have really sensitive skin so I learned this the hard way when I first began tanning a few years ago. So if you have sensitive skin, avoid putting this on your face and just spend the extra money on a facial tanner. I've been using "Saving Face" by Designer Skin and am always pleased with the results when I've used it - plus it never causes me to break out :)

The balm is for dry and more mature skin and the cream is for normal to combination. The balm also has ingredients that are slightly different but both contain the psp. I have used both and they both work wonders with fine lines, but I prefer the cream because it seems to reduce puffiness more than the balm. Both absorb quickly and are not heavy or greasy.

Hey Joyce! I use this product after I tan and I absolutely love it...it helps keep me from peeling if I get a little too much sun and it extends the life of my tan. I've never remembered it to have any self-tanner or bronzing qualities...only moisturizing. I hope this helps!

I put nothing on afterwards, that's just my skin type though. If your moisturizer has fragrance etc. it might irritate your skin, maybe wait awhile. Coconut oil is what we use,very mild.
