Which tanning lotions are best for a warm sunny day in Cairns, Queensland depends on the individual and whether they want tanning or sun protection, or both such as with an Australian Gold high SPF bronzer.
There are many different tanning lotions to choose from. If you are fair skinned and need protection from the sun then you need to get a spf of at least 50 to keep from burning.
Not break out, however most makeup products contain an SPF which is going to prevent you from tanning. Tanning dries out your skin, ( USE LOTION! FACIAL LOTIONS TOO!) which doesnt normally lead to a breakout.
Some lotions use as whitening, moisturizer and/or softening in skin. Some lotions are effective and works in skin especially lotion that have "Sun Block Protection" (SPF) to protect you in sun while your outside or at the beach. There are different SPF level (It depends how much you need/degree of heat of the sun) Examples: SPF 14, SPF 16, SPF 24, SPF 30, SPF 80 and more (much more higher level). Some lotions heal problems of skin Example: dry skin, cracked skin, burns, scrapes and protects minor cuts. And some are repellant to prevent bite of insects especially the bites of mosquito.
It is not true that you can not wear sunscreen in a tanning bed. Most tanners choose to use accelerators and maximizer's but some tanners still use sunscreen on sensitive areas and there are even lotions which contain a low SPF (usually no more then an SPF4).
Regular lotions will help your skin in the matter of keeping it moisturized, which is vital to keep your skin healthy while tanning. However, most tanning salons do not allow anything on the skin but tanning lotions as regular lotions can damage the plates on the tanning beds. My advice to you would be to get a tanning lotion, which will have everything you need to get a deep and dark tan while keeping your skin as damage-free as possible and not ruining the tanning beds.
There are general tanning instructions for using SPF in a tanning bed. This should be based more on skin type and sensitivity to exposure than on a specific tanning bed model.

Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for, as tanning - any amount tanning - is damage to your skin. There is no way to reverse it, and it's ultimate destination is skin cancer.
Tanning oil should not be used when using a tanning bed. Aside from the damage you may do to the equipment, the oil will increase the damage done to your skin and doesn't provide SPF protection.
In order for any sun tan product to provide any protection it has to have a high SPF number. The lower the SPF number, the lower the protection. Most dermatologists recommend an SPF number of at least 30.
Yes, you can still get a tan wearing sunscreen, and it's much safer than tanning bare. Use a moderately powerful sun tan lotion (minimum of spf 30) for safety. As Dark Dragon pointed out, it IS much safer using a tanning spray or lotion. There are fantastic lotions out there that, over time while using it, will gradually increase the melonin in your skin (the skin pigment that determines skin color -- the more you got the darker you'll be) without the premature aging and wrinkles that sun tanning can cause.
