Hi Ladies, Do any of you all know anything about the new Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter tanning lotion? I just read a press release on it and I am impressed. They say the main ingredient is Kona Coffee which contains caffeine and that caffeine actually has been shown to help prevent skin cancer. Plus, they say it makes you golden brown, not pink because it is a tan accelorator which is great b/c I always burn. So just wondering if you all have used it or heard good things about it. The website iswww.bikinikitchen.com Thanks! ~Meriel

re: kerby
I checked out the website and actually contacted them because I was very disturbed by the site. They claimed that it has been proven that caffeine prevents skin cancer. They studies "suggest" it might help. they have only been done on mice(and used with exercize). Plus, any test so far show that it might help prevent scqualmous cell cancers and not melanomas. the product goes on brown, so if you always burn, you will still burn if you do not use the proper suncreen and put it on correctly.

I had skin cancer and I will advocate using sunscreen and not tanning. Cancer can grow in your body for many years before it manifests on the surface of your skin. It is so much more common than I think any of us realize. So, whatever product you use to enhance a natural tan, please also use sun screen. There are products out there that will give you a natural looking "tan" without the damage done by the sun. I've tried a few different ones and have found one that works well for my skin color. None of them smell super great even though they try :) however, it's worth it knowing you're saving yourself from further sun damage.

Totally agree on using any tanning product with an SPF - I like to use the spray on 15...and I still get great results!

Yeah, I contacted them too and they were very nice. They stated that it can be used with any SPF and that they only recommend using it for one hour in the sun your first time around. I am very intrigued so I ordered a bottle today. It looks like they are also doing a promo for a free sample as well:https://www.bikinikitchen.com/Products/15.aspx which is cool. I did look up all the studies as well & asked them about it too and they stated that it may help prevent skin cancer which is not somwhting alot of other tanning lotions can say. Thanks for your input. I will let you all know how it works out. :) ~Meriel

Hey Everyone, So I got my order of Booty Butter tanning lotion and I must report - AMAZING! I am blonde hair, blue eyes, light skin and now I have a golden brown tan after one afternoon in the sun. I used Booty Butter with Austrailian Gold spray SPF 15 on top and so I was protected too. I always get burn and I didn't at all. My boyfriend was even like, wow you look tan! No one has ever said that to me. And my skin feels so soft. The lotion itself is brown in color and smells like Mocha - yummm. :) I HIGHLY recommends Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter. I think the onyl plce you can order it is online atwww.bikinikitchen.com Happy tanning!

re: kerby
Does it leave you streaky at all?

re: kerby
Hi Bimbi284, to answer your question, no it does not leave any streak. Its not a self tanner or stain, just a brown lotion that really makes you get a golden tan - I love it! :)
