What brand of lotion do you use for the tanning bed?

Hey all,

I'm planning on going tanning after I get my upper body waxed ( Male, obviously ) and am wondering what is the best lotion to use for a tanning bed? Brand, where to buy it, ect!

This is my first time going tanning, but I've read up a lot about it and talked to a lot of people, so I've weighted all of the risks and will take all necessary precautions. Plus I tan really well in the sun during the summer, and I don't burn, so I'm not too worried.

Update:

Actually, "rich" I'm a model...

    I love Designer Skin products. I'm pretty fair, and hard to tan, but their products have gotten me darker than any other brands I've tried (I've tried a LOT). I prefer the lotions with bronzers, to add some extra boost to my color. They have a ton of different lotions...no bronzer, one bronzer, multiple bronzers, and tingle and non-tingle lotions. Here's the DS site, where you can browse and read about all their products:

    You can buy your lotion at the tanning salon, but I recommend getting it online. I've been able to save 50% or more purchasing online, rather than at the salon. If you run a search for "discount tanning lotion," you will get a ton of results. My favorite ones are lotion4you.com, lotionbarn.com, and Ebay. I've gotten great deals from all those places.

    You may not even need tanning lotion...men's bodies naturally contain more melanin than women's bodies, so men usually tan a lot easier than women. But the tanning lotion will definitely help maximize your results in a shorter period of time than going without lotion.

    hey don't listen to everyone thats saying tanning is so bad,, of course it's bad if you go every single day that's obvious, but if you're like me your just goin a few times to get darker.. tanning places have little sample packages to buy just ask who ever is there which one is the best..i use one called paradise dark.i buy it for about 5 dollars at the tanning place but you should be fine with any type as long as your skin isn't super sensivtive..but make sure you spread it evenly..and don't go tanning until 24 hours after waxing! (if anything you'l be good with buying any tanning lotion from walagreens or anything like that)
