Banana boat tanning lotion.?

Question

I was wondering how well banana boat dark tanning lotion (4spf) works....im thinking about buying it tomorrow so i can use it the same day and work on my tan. i have a bad farmers tan and i want to make the uneven parts even. will i see any difference when i put it on and lay out in the sun for 15 mins on each side here in southern cali heat?...i know i wont match my other tanned areas but would i even see a lil difference within those 30mins of tanning outside?....

Answer 1

don't do it.... tanning is bad for your health & leads to skin cancer. especially now the ozone layer is so thin. I don't know why ppl try tan anyway -- it really isn't that attractive (to me.) always use sunscreen spf 30 or higher, banana boat is a great brand for that!

Answer 2

It is hard to even out a farmers tan, I would suggest getting some sunless tanning lotion, (banana boat deep dark works well) and using it on the parts that are lighter to help even it out...Then using more sunscreen on the tanner parts and more tanning lotion in the lighter parts will also help you even out your tan..Tanning takes time, if you did 15 minutes for the first couple of days add more time gradually it will give you a hint of color each time... Similar to a tanning bed..Also using a tanning lotion with a bronzer can help you get a browner tone.

Answer 3

You need to put SPF 50 on the tan parts, then go about as usual.

The sun is not a good thing for you anymore, so you need to even out what you have, then lay off, before you end up with skin ccancer.

Answer 4

I would use Hawaiian Tropic, and I recommend staying out for 30 mins. on each side.
