Here's the silky trick...

Moisturized Skin
PLENTY of moisturizer. Your skin will soak it up.
I have strict preferences and will only use certain products on my skin... tried and true that I know work well for me.
I use Black 20x tanning lotion in the bed.. then leave it on for at least 2 hrs after tanning..
Then a shower with Oil of Olay Shea Butter moisturizing bodywash (yellow label). Every time I bathe I use a nylon puffy ball to exfoliate my skin. It isn't harsh and my skin feels wonderful afterwords. Then I follow that with a generous slathering of Jergen's Ultra Healing lotion on my body and Oil of Olay Complete on my face.
Always use good eye protection and a sun block on your lips. My preference is Baby Faces stick.. I know it is big (a fat stick) but my lips are in beautiful condition from it. I also put just a touch of it on the tip of my nose. That skin is very sensitive.
My skin is radiant... smooth as silk... and never peels.
Moisturized skin always tans better. It also holds tans longer... So if you want a deep, skin friendly, luxurious tan... keep it moisturized.
