Designer Skin

Review by Stephanie Thomas:

I've used plenty of different tanning lotions, and I can assure you this is an excellent product. It smells like grapefruit, and leaves your skin feeling like silk - not greasy at all. Also, instead of leaving your skin sort of orange and streaky in places (like between your fingers) like a lot of lotions with bronzers, it gives you really good natural color. This beats buying it from a price-gouging salon, and the seller sent a couple sheets of stickers with it as a bonus which was cool.

Review by C. Hlywa:

I am a red head that has light skin. I have been using the wonderful 20X bronzing lotion for over a month and I have a tan. If this product can work for me... guarantee it will work for you. I have the best tan i have ever had to include the softest skin!

Review by Jennifer Jones:

Bellezza works very well. It gives immediate results with the bronzer, is very moisturizing, and really does extend the life of your tan. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is the scent. Smells nice, but I prefer a fruitier/tropical scent.

Review by Bey:

I bought this from my tanning salon but since it has no reviews online I shall be the first!!! lol I loveeee this lotion it is my second favorite designer skin product after luminary!!! It will get you SUPER DARK, SUPER FAST. It has no silicone in it but it is super moisturizing and makes your skin look and feel great. Also it smells SOOO good before tanning and after tanning which is really important and the price isnt disgusting. Also alittle goes a long way so u dont need to layer on

Review by H. Evans:

I really like this lotion! It smells great, even after tanning. The consistency is perfect- not sticky, not greasy, just very moisturizing which I love. I decided to put a sticker on my hip the first day I tried this lotion, just to see how much difference it would make, and after 15 minutes of tanning I had a noticeable tan line. After just one session! I also love the fact that I saved so much money by purchasing this online rather than from a salon. I'm definitely a fan of this lotion and would buy again.

Review by Krista Melcher:

The lotion smells nice before tanning. It is also very moisturizing. I wish I would have paid more attention, before purchasing the lotion that it does not contain a bronzer. I like Black Dark Tanning Silicon better. This lotion is a great option for those who do not want a lotion with bronzers. I like the bronzers better. The only other drawback with this lotion is the smell after tanning. It is not near as bad as some that I have used in the past, but it is definitely not as "clean" fragranced as Black. But a good product overall. Very moisturizing.

Review by Betty J. Foster:

This was the most moisturing smooth silky tanning lotion I have ever purchased. I have been tanning once a week using Phoenician Dark Tanning Lotion with Silicone by Designer Skin and my tan is absolutely beautiful. I am so glad I am using this product.

Review by Decorating:

Since I started using this product, I have literally spent less time on the tanning bed. Use sparingly, it's all you need and leaves your skin feeling like silk. AWESOME!

Review by Mark:

This lotion is fantastic. It feels silky not greasy on your skin. The smell is great. The color is decent and not orangey like some. I have noticed no streakyness or oranging of the cuticles and between the fingers. Absorbtion is quick and smooth. You feel fresh and clean after using it. The biggist problem with this lotion is it feels so smooth going on you have the tendency to use much more then you need wasting a great deal of it.

Review by Melissa:

I'm hispanic but never have tanned well. I don't burn either but I also don't get dark. I bought this product because it had good ratings and gave it a try. It's not sticky, it's very moisturizing and doesn't smell that bad. It got me dark fast!! I could tell the difference after one session. I was red at first but I was told by the tanning staff to ignore the redness that it was suppose to make me a little red as it has properties that bring oxygen to the skin to tan. I don't use a fancy tanning bed, just a plain jane low end bed and I'm the darkest I have ever been in my entire life and I'm from the tropics so that's saying a lot. It leaves my skin super smooth. I would reccomend this product for first time tanners.

Review by Lisa D. Kendall:

Works well. My skin is smooth and the color is consistent. Which says a lot because I am very fair complected.

Review by K. Petersen:

Im a guy. I tan easily (with the help of bronzers of course)... I have tried alot of different designer skin products. They come out with so many different ones each year that its almost impossible to choose which one is right for you. I remember last year when i purchased tao, it said it had 4x the bronzer power, which is a good sales pitch. Now this year this came out, 14x .... I thought to myself, wow if 4 times gets me a great color, 14x will have me looking amazing in no time. Eh, not so much. Smells like gummy bears, but doesnt seem to get me as tan as id like. Its like im stuck at a certain color that i have passed many times in the past. Now i see there is a 20x one. Of course, i buy into that type of b.s. but we will see. Tao and spellbound got me dark. This was kind of upsetting, yet 20 bucks is alot better than 70 to waste on a lotion.

Review by Cassondra Wilson:

I purchased this lotion after reading mixed reviews online. A girl I work with used this lotion this year and her results were incredible... ( but come to find out, she's just one of those chicks with the easiest to tan skin); unlike me who is very pale w/light brown hair. I started the tanning season off this year by using "Paint it black" by Millennium, which got me a descent base tan in about 3 weeks and was quite cheap. I was at the "Tanning Plateau" with that lotion so I tried 14 karat. First off, The smell is awful, awful to the point when your in the bed you feel nauseous b/c the smell is so overpowering, its like a weird pear smell. I read the review of the bad smell and said ahh.. what the heck I like pears, it wont be that bad. No, it really is that bad. I feel bad to waste a full bottle of lotion or to give it to anyone else and have them endure the awful smell...So overall, the lotion is o.k w/its tanning abilities and does leave the skin feeling soft, but the negatives (smell) outweigh any of its positive attributes to me. So be warned...lol But, I got a free sample of a new product by Australian Gold, its called Creamy Gelato. It freaking rocks! It has a Vaseline gel like consistency w/hardly any scent. It absorbs into the skin so nice and when you get out of the bed you are not greasy nor sweaty. I really don't know about the long term affect of this lotion seeing as how I only tried it once this afternoon but I will definitely be buying this one soon. Good Luck to all you, and have a great Summer!

Review by C. Hayden:

amazing! saw immediate results right after getting out of the tanning bed. The girl working there was amazed at how dark I was and how fast it worked on me (I am fair skinned). This lotion smells great too, it smells like ralph lauren perfume. And the lotion as a moisturizer is FANTASTIC. it feels silky smooth and is extremely moisturizing. I highly recommend this lotion to anyone who wants to be tan very fast and cares about the health of their skin as well.

Review by Candace.:

I just received this lotion today, and instantly fell in love. When i first applied it to my skin, it felt so soft and amazingly silky, even better than Black 20x. This is hands down, the best "smelling" tanning lotion i have ever purchased! and not to mention, the packaging along with the ligh-up stars, was super cutee! As for the scent, i would definately describe it as citrusy and fresh, which is a very nice scent for going in the tanning booth. I'm not a fan of the after smell of tanning, so having the fragrance from this product definately helps!

The only problem i had was that my shipping was delivered a day after the estimated delivery date, but i have a feeling it was partly the post office's fault, due to being inconsiderately SLOW.

I would definately buy this product again!!
