All the indoor tanning lotions recommended in resolved questions do not seem to be available in department stores or the like. I don’t have a credit card (only 16) so it would be way easier if I could find a tanning lotion from department stores. does anyone know of any?
if not, then the tanning salon I go to offers emerald bay products, has anyone tried these? if so which one is the best?
thank you 
You cannot buy good tanning lotion from department stores. Only online or at a tanning salon. If your salon only has emerald bay, then I suggest walking into some other tanning salons just to see what type of lotions they have. Emerald bay isn’t a bad lotion, it’s just definitely not ‘top-of-the-line’ like you want. A good lotion line is Designer Skin. ‘Spellbound’ is awesome. But if you want even better top of the line, then try searching for California Tan products. The CT7 is actually a really good lotion, but pricey. The higher up the line you go, the more expensive your lotions will be. I would just stick with emerald bay or whatever your tanning salon has. I work at a tanning salon and have used many lotions in my day. And honestly, they all pretty much work very similar, and paying a lot of money for something that is supposed to be top of the line sometimes isn’t worth it. Just find something with aloe and/or hemp in it, along with caffiene and DHA. Those ingredients will get you an awesome tan. Hope this helped!
