Tanning Lotions for Tanning Beds

Summary by Chris Azzari, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

There is a big difference between tanning lotion for indoor beds, that are used for tanning salons and tanning booths, and products for outdoor tanning. While lotions that are used for outdoor tanning are designed to prevent damage done to your skin by free radicals, indoor tanning products are designed to help you get that healthy, bronze, natural glow is a faster and easier way.

Indoor tanning bed lotions have a unique blend of ingredients that are designed for salon use. Tanning lotions that are made for home or commercial indoor tanning are very convenient and easy to use. Outdoor tanning can lend to serious sun burns that may raise your risk of skin cancer; by following the directions for indoor tanning products you can diminish that risk and tan in a healthier way.

Indoor tanning lotions have come a long way since they were first developed for consumers. Indoor tanning salon lotions have come a long way! Choose only the best indoor tanning products to use at your local tanning salon for optimal, long-lasting results!

Tanning Bed Lotion

Summary by ken Marlborough

Apply a tanning bed lotion an hour before and immediately after every tanning session. Tanning bed lotions protect your skin and help to accelerate the tanning process.

Tanning bed lotions contain tyrosine, an amino acid that stimulates production of the skin pigment melanin. Tyrosine assists the UVB rays in stimulating melanin production. Many tanning bed lotions contain Vitamin E. All tanning bed lotions have a moisturizing element, which magnifies the tanning effects of UVA rays, while counteracting the drying and peeling effects of UVB rays.

Different types of tanning bed lotions exist for different purposes. For moderate skin tones, choose a Type II, III or IV. There’s a tanning bed lotion just for you. If you own your own tanning bed, ask your distributor whether they sell tanning bed lotion.
