Learn To Glow Today

I use a tanning bed during winter but looking at me you wouldnt know cause I dont tan very well with them. My stomach tans the best but doesnt match my upper body which usualy doesnt look like ti was affected at all (accept for the slight red that shows up later than night but is gone with in a day). I've been using the standard bed, with out tanning lotions and flipping over half way through. I am hesistant to use the lotions because im afraid i'll either turn orange or get streaks from applying it unevenly.

Whats the best way to prep the skin so it tans better? Like exfoliate the night before? what lotions work that wont give you the orange hue? Im probably going to start going up to the next higher bed which as stronger UV.
Spray ons are pretty darn expensive though.

and Yes i am well aware of the affects of tanning. If your concern is to drill in me the affects and that I shouldnt..save your breath because it wont change my mind lol.
