17. What is a bronzer lotion?

There are two types of bronzer lotions, and they each impart additional color to your skin: Immediate/Natural bronzers and Delayed bronzers. Immediate/Natural bronzers can boost your color using ingredients that show immediate color to your skin. Delayed bronzers boost your color through a self-tanning additive that will help your color become darker after the ingredients have had time to develop. Many bronzers have multiple types of bronzers in them, and may be a triple, dual, or 10X, or 20X…etc. The numbers refer to the number of bronzing agents in the lotion. Bronzers can also be mixed with other types of lotions for example, “Bronzing Accelerator” or “Tingle with Bronzers”.
