Australian Gold Crystal X, August 11, 2007
If you are a tanning bed lounger/ guru, like me.... then you _have_ to be in the know if this product!!!
I highly recommend the use of this tanning lotion, not only because of it's extravagant smell & luscious satiny cream like finish, but the overall effect, also.
Crystal X has 10 deep activating bronzers in it to tone your skin to a deeper color, lasting for a maximum of more days than ANY other tanning lotion on the market. 6-8 days is a long time, let's face it... we all can't go tanning every single time we want to, and if you have a busy schedule, and you love to keep a deep, exotic tan, then this is the indoor tanning lotion for you.
The fragrance is tea based, lite and sexy. Both men and women will love this aroma, it's not just aimed towards the sun goddesses. Being made with green tea gives it a lot of benefits of super high antioxidants, esential vitamins and nutrients to keep your skin firm, soft and supple. To get that bronzy skin, and deflect harsh rays at the same time, it's important to have high melatonin levels while you tan. Green tea is a wonderful promoter of melatonin.
The trick of the trade is to use this lotion about 1-2 hours before you go to your salon for a tanning sesh. Doing so will let the product exorb into the skin at a faster rate, than just stepping into a hot tanning bed, and letting it all sweat off through your pores. The bronzers need a good activation time to allow penetration of the skin layers. Crystal X doesn't burn or tingle once you put it on... it's a very alkalkized based recipe of creams and nutrients to give lasting benefits to your skin.
You will notice a difference as soon as you step out of the bed. The product won't leave a film on your skin either... Many of us have probably felt that icky, sticky feeling of lotion on our bodies after we're done tanning. **I'm sorry, but if you have that sensation... then you're either using a bad product or too much**. With Crystal, you don't need very much at all. I use a dime size for each arm, thigh, leg... and a dime for my tummy and chest. The product won't stiffen over your skin as you tan, also. It will naturally absorb all of its consistency into your porse, and disappear into a healthy gowing tan. So technically, you don't need to take that shower after you tan, with this product. You'll smell great all day afterwards with Crystal X, and you won't feel all sticky! How great is that??
If you look past its price, and that it's only 7 oz (which seems so little compared to most 22 oz tanning lotions), it lasts so long, because you don't need that much, and just you wait... 7 ounces... it's really the perfect size. If you're like me, and you keep your lotion in your bag... Crystal won't weigh down your purse.
Okay so... they say that diamonds are a girl's best friend.... but I'm definitely considering Crystal.
