The Best Lotion Tanners
Look like you've taken a beach vacation without ever seeing the sun. Lotion tanners allow you to get a healthy, sun-kissed glow without harmful UV rays. Lotion tanners bronze skin gradually, and the lotion typically must be applied once or twice a day. With lotion tanners available in drugstores and high-end beauty stores, options are priced to fit every budget. Does this Spark an idea?
