Brand: Designer Skin Lotion: Pretty & Reckless Rating: 3 out of 5 Debut Year: 2012 Type: Accelerator Bottle Size: 8.5 oz. Price: $28-35 Ingredients: N/A Scent: “Champagne and hibiscus” is the official scent, so it’s a blend of bitter fruit and flowers. Surprisingly, it smells quite good. No ATO. Lotion: True to Designer Skin form, it’s a moisturizing goldmine. I’d love a bottle just to use as a daily moisturizer; forget the tanning bed. It’s not too thick, not too thin. Overall, a really nice texture. Color: Not really any color change at all, I’m afraid. Short and simple: I wouldn’t use it in the aim of getting a color boost. Special: This is one of the lotions that is supposed to protect tattoos from fading. I expect you’d have to use it for a long period of time to see any results from that, but I don’t have any tattoos to test it on anyway.

Pretty and Reckless, a daring combination that’s not for the faint of heart. Potent tan activators provide deeper and longer lasting color, faster than you can say, “Heartbreaker”. Prefer parties to beauty sleep? Skin Rehab™ Technology will keep your skin rejuvenated and fresh, even after an all-nighter. Laced with Anti-Fade Tattoo Protection to keep your permanent fashion accessory bright and vibrant! Being Reckless never looked this Pretty. •Skin Rehab™ Technology contains antioxidants to help detoxify skin from free radicals •Anti-Fade Tattoo Protection helps protect against wavelengths that can discolor and fade tattoos •Enriched with Shea Butter and Vitamin E for unmatched moisturization Fragrance: Champange & Hibiscus By Princesa (12/22/2011 1:37:54 pm): I like this lotion a lot... *I liked the scent a lot,it remninds me defintely of champagne with a fruity kick! *Zero ato *I thought this was very creamy and moisturizing but easy to rub in..after tanning with this my skin felt super soft for hours.. *I used a tantoo on my ankle and the outline is crystal clear still! this gave me a nice lil boost of color. *My tattoos look nice still after years of having them (plus I already use a spf on them anyway when I tan)so idk if the anti-fade tattoo protection is working but either way extra tatt protection is always a plus!! Overall I think this is a great accelerator..bottle could be bigger but its all good. I really liked how soft my skin felt after using this. The scent I can see is one that ppl are either gonna love or hate....try a sample before you buy! 5/5 stars

Love this lotion...always feel so pretty and beachy tan not tanning bed orange tan when I use it. I can feel the accelorator working esp on my arms. This gave me a nice boost of natural color...
If you are looking for a break from bronzers and still want to stay moist, and dark try this. I have two color tattoos, and seriosuly looking to get a bottle of this stuff. My foot tattoo seems so bright, and that is saying a lot since color doesn't hold well on thin skin. My tattoo on my foot is 7 years old and no tan is marring its image.
My boyfriend also enjoys the sweet scent of the champagne and hibiscus. Since I love both those things...seriously love this scent.

I use a packet of this yesterday and immediately bought the bottle right after I was done!
Scent- the very first time I smelled this lotion 2 years ago I remember thinking who wants to smell like that haha. It reminds me if lemon pledge but with a sweeter smell. Not my favorite but I still like it.
ATO- Lighter scent of the orginal smell that gradually fades.
Lotion- pretty moisturizing, bright white, and spreads easily. Not to thick not to thin.
Color boost- I had a steak from my versa session the other day so I hopped into the open sun 1050 but I didn't want to double up on Bronzers so I used a packet of this. This completely for rid of my streak and deepend my prexisiting color. Great boost
All and all-5/5! Great lotion

I used this lotion for the first time today in a Ergoline Passion 40/3 for the full 15 minutes.
Scent- I thought the scent was ok/good when I smelled it at first and when applying it. However, it began to smell wonderful while actually tanning and afterwards as well.
ATO- None - just smelled like the lotion itself.
Lotion- moisturizing but also had a slimy feel. My skin was shiny when I got out of the bed, which gradually absorbed and my skin feels very soft. I wouldn't use this if I was putting nice clothes on after getting out of the tanning bed.
Color boost- ok but not fabulous on this first time. However, I haven't tanned in a week and sometimes it takes my skin some time to react if I haven't tanned in a while. Plus, this bed is more of a UVB bed and the effects aren't always immediate with it either. I expect to have some color tomorrow morning.
4/5 Stars

Absolutely love everything about this lotion!
Smells great, no ATO on me at all. It is a creamy white texture (no bronzers) and gives me a good color boost. Great hydration also. As for fade protection, I believe it has kept the fading at bay, plus there are no bronzers to alter the colours of your tattoos.
I've used this lotion for indoor as well as outdoor tanning and have noticed significant results with both. I am very pleased with this (despite the smaller bottle) and will most likely repurchase to protect my tattoos.
Price was reasonable - I paid $77.00 at my local salon, but I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere.
Designer Skin is my favorite brand for tanning lotions and this one doesn't disappoint!
5/5.
