** MY REVIEW **
Lotion: I've been using this intensifying primer for UV tanning rather than spray tanning as I am off spray tanning for the winter due to my severe eczema flare ups (sad times)! I've been using this literally what it states its for - as a "primer", I have been applying this to my body before applying my regular tanning lotion before hopping into the bed! I've found like the CT "Color Maximizer" this product really does boost the results of whatever lotion you use on top of it. It makes intensifiers work better, bronzers work better and you have less tendency to streak, makes tingles hotter and such! The actual lotion is an interesting one, its in-between a gel and a cream, nothing like the CT Color Maximizing gel, it is SO MUCH MOORE MOISTURIZING! It is green in color and is very rich but not oily at all, sinks into the skin beautifully!
Scent: The scent on this I can't really put my finger on, it's fresh forsure! I want to say it has somewhat of a light floral fragrance but you can also pick up what I am guessing is some of the skin care ingredients like the marine algae, it's not a bad scent at all and it gets even lighter once it dries. Once you put another lotion on top of it, the scent completely disappears and all you smell is the lotion you applied on top of it.
Results: I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I've used it a bunch of times as I was lucky enough to get a handful of free samples of this one at our last Product Seminar and even scored a free bottle of it! I've found that it really does add lots of "OOMPH" to the moisture factor of your tanning lotion, its really helped keep my skin hydrated during and after the session!
Overall: 5/5. I would definitely repurchase this. There's nothing I don't love about it, I love the fact it boosts the results of your lotion that you're using as well as having great skin care and keeps your skin thoroughly hydrated! I can't say much about using this before a spray tan but I would assume it would be amazing, my salon has been dedicated to Versaspa for some time now and we love their products, as this is a new product for 2016 we used to carry the old "SunlessPro" products which they then replaced with these. I liked the old SunlessPro Intensifier but I can say this one is a great step forward as the old primer was a tad too greasy for my liking.
