We normally keep a good tan during the warm months (April-November here) since we're outdoors. Since we're going to Mexico in March, we've stepped up the tanning by going to a "superbed", because I got blistered when we went to Mexico last May (didn't have any base tan). This is our first season using a tanning bed (started in December), and we go 2-3 times a week.

I've been using an Aloe based moisturizer after tanning, and have convinced hubby to do the same. It still seems that after a few hours, my skin feels dry. This is unusual for me, since I've always had oily, olive-type skin.

So, I'd like some tips from expert tanners on skin care.

I did find a bronzer that I like that doesn't have a weird smell nor make my skin feel like it's crawling - Revival. Tried a few before I could tolerate one of those bronzers. It's pricey, but worth it to me.

Thanks!
