First fake tanning lotion

The first tanning lotion came onto the market in the 1960s, it was called 'Quick Tan' or 'QT'. It was an overnight tan so consumers would apply the lotion at night then it would develop overnight and be developed by the morning. The users soon got fed up with this particular tan due to its unattractive results like orange palms and streaking. Many people still associated these results with the modern day fake tan. In the 1980s, new fake tanning lotions were intoducted to the market giving a more nautral colour and better fading results. Also around this time people were becoming more awear of the damage that the alternative tanning option, (UV tanning) that was doing to their skin. Due to this more tanning lotions appeared in drugstores which had more competitive prices for the consumers.
