Is there an over the counter alternative to those pricey tanning accelerators that are sold in salons?

I'll be leaving for Florida on vacation in about a month and I'd like to go to a tanning salon a few times before I leave to get a ';base'; tan. The tanning accelerators that they sell are very expensive. Can I use a regular tanning oil or lotion instead?Is there an over the counter alternative to those pricey tanning accelerators that are sold in salons?
I get the good salon stuff for fairly cheap on Ebay!


WalMart has a couple different lotions made for tanning beds, and I've tried them, and they just don't work as well.





Don't use regular tanning lotion in a tanning bed...It can ruin the bed and probably wouldn't yield good results on your skin anyway seeing as how they have have SPF instead of bronzer!Is there an over the counter alternative to those pricey tanning accelerators that are sold in salons?
go to a search engine and type in tanning lotions. you will get websites that sell the stuff in the salon for much cheaper!
They have them at Sally's Beauty Supply and I think they even have a couple at Walmart with their sunscreen products.





You could always save your skin and just use a self tanner....
