Banana Boat tanning lotion & Coppertone sunscreen lotion? Please helpppp!?

hi everyone, i've just bouth the Banana Boat tanning lotion (which does not protect against sunburn) and that's why i had to also buy a sunscreen lotion. I was shopping @ Walmart and I found no Banana Boat sunscreen lotion. I ended up buying Coppertone sunscreen lotion.


My questions are:


1. Are the two good using together? Will I be fine using the combination of these two products?





2. Anyone tried Banana Boat tanning lotion yet? How does it work? How long does it take for u to be as tan as u wish?





3. Can I use Banana Boat tanning oil rather than the tanning lotion? Will the oil be washed off (i'm going to six-flags)? And will it look "ugly" when I sweat - having the tanning oil on my skin? Does it take longer for the oil to dry than the lotion does?





I am sorry for these too many questions! But this is my first time trying these. I appreciate ur time and I hope u have a good one!! Thank you. Please answer my questions!

I know not from experience, but I would not mix the two products because you'll sunburned (I have dark skin, so I have no worries). I would recommend using the Coppertone sunscreen to protect you from the sun, whether on the beach, or at Six Flags. Tanning lotion is best used when you are going to get a tan. I hope that helps!

Nothing. Report It

Reply:1. Both products are very good. Yes, you may use them together. So long as you have NO skin conditions. Remember that combining two products is like chemistry class...so if your taking any kind of medication for a skin condition this could have an affect on it. If your using tetracycline do NOT tan...it will only burn you because of that medication is light sensitive.


2. a. I've used it and it only took me 4 hours in the REAL sun while boating to get me started with a fairly decent tan. I'm extremely pale and it takes me twice as long to tan than say...my daughter. Every one's skin is different. You must make sure your skin is in it's best condition before tanning. Dry skin is harder to tan.


3. You can use what ever you wish. I prefer the oil myself. You could then put the coppertone sunscreen on first, letting it soak into your skin %26amp; drying then apply the oil. The oil most certainly washes off during swimming or a water ride and it will "sweat" off. Only the "water proof" lotions are good for long periods of water rides or swimming. And go by 1/2 the time it tells you it's good for. Example. "good for 8 hrs of swimming" reapply after only 4 hrs. Oil isn't supposed to dry...it's oil. The shinier it is on your skin the more it will attract the sun. So keeping this in mind the oil can actually (burn) as well as tan you quicker than a lotion. A good waterproof sunscreen lotion like coppertone would do excellent under any oil. Good luck!
Reply:all i can say is be careful with Banana Boat i tried it once and i broke out REALLY bad. it took forever to get rid of all of it. If you used before then no worries
