Tanning Lotion On A Budget

              It's the middle of winter and you wanna get sun, so what do you do? You can't lay out in your yard,  go to the local pool, etc. Tanning beds offer the feeling of taking a nap by the pool, while laying out in the sun.

I have been an off, and on again tanning bed user for the past four years. When I first started using them Google was my best friend. I looked up, how to make my tan last longer, whats the best lotion to use, should I wear a bikini while tanning, what are the pros and cons of tanning in a tanning bed. I bought lotion, after lotion, after lotion. One that goes on before you get in the bed, another that you put on after you get out, and some that are supposed to make your tan last longer.

It was all a waste of $MONEY$!!!

Buying tanning lotion from the tanning salon can get expensive. It can go from $20 - $150 a bottle, if not more. Amazon and Ebay can offer great discounts on your favorite lotions, but if your just looking for something cheap that gets the job done go to your local Walmart. They have several tanning lotions for under $10.

My favorite so far has been European Gold Dark Star tanning lotion with 40X bronzers. It has super-soft silicon emulsion, and skin firming. Cute, sleek packaging , 13.5 FL OZ for under $8, and it smells great. You can't beat it! My tan was even, my skin so silky soft, and by the start of summer I had a dark golden tan. It looked as if I had went on a long, sunny beach vacation!

If you are looking for a great, inexpensive tanning lotion I recommend giving this a try. What do you have to lose?
