How Tanning Lotions Accelerate Your Tan



By Haywood Hunter


Most spas encourage their clients to use tanning lotions to improve their color. These creams or oil are very popular and known to help deepen or improve the results of a session in a booth or bed. These products are similar in function but can vary widely in the outcome they provide.

Tanning lotions are hand-applied and most are intended for all-over use. Some cosmetic lines produce formulas that are safer than average for facial application. Whenever possible, it's a good idea to have two separate products for your face and body. Some facial formulas include gentler ingredients or firming qualities.

Tanning lotions and oils are used as preparation for UV beds or booths. They are comprised of ingredients that moisturize the skin and increase the amount of melanin in the skin. This may be accomplished by increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin, or by increasing the melanin itself. This boosts the speed with which a tan sets in, as well as effects the quality of the color.

Tanning lotions intended to be used indoors feature ingredients that are not harmful to plastic. It is important to only use indoor products when there is a chance of the lotion coming in contact with a UV bed. Since spa beds especially come into repeated contact with clients every day, corrosive products would greatly shorten the life of the bed.

Frequently, there will be additional benefits to using tanning lotions before exposure to UV lights. Many brands include a quality moisturizer in their blends. Others may have a bronzing formula that boosts color over time. And nearly all smell great, due to the high quality scents added.

Sunblock and tanning lotions are not to be confused for one another. Sunblocks are meant to protect one's skin from the harmful side effects of UV light from the sun. However, tanning lotions and oils are intended to help ultra violet light affect skin. Using sunblock before using a UV bed would not only negate the effects, but may also cause surface damage to the parts of the machine in contact with the customer.

Sunshine and ultra violet lights in booths and tan bed are not equals. It is necessary to have appropriate tanning lotions or oils that are reserved for their intended tanning situation. Compounds in a product intended for outdoor use may react differently under concentrated light. Conversely, tanning lotions intended for salon use may not show any helpful effects when used under sunlight.
