Tanning bed salons offer a controlled way to achieve that sun-kissed glow regardless of the season. However, if you’re looking to maximize your tanning bed experience and ensure your skin stays healthy, it’s important to use the right tanning bed lotion. Not all tanning lotions are created equal, and understanding their differences can help you make the best choice for your skin type and tanning goals.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to the various types of tanning bed lotions and what sets them apart:
Accelerators and Maximizers
Best for: Beginners and those looking for a steady, gradual tan.
Features:
- Hydration: These lotions are typically rich in moisturizers, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and doesn’t dry out during the tanning process.
- Base Tan: They are designed to help build a base tan and are ideal for those new to tanning beds.
- Melanin Production: Accelerators contain ingredients like tyrosine that stimulate melanin production, leading to a natural-looking tan.
Bronzers
Best for: Immediate results and deep, dark tans.
Features:
- Instant Color: Bronzers contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone) or natural bronzing agents that provide an immediate tan effect.
- Dual Action: They work both as tanning accelerators and provide a bronzed look, often lasting a few days.
- Application: Requires careful and even application to avoid streaks or uneven color.
Tingle Lotions
Best for: Experienced tanners seeking intense results.
Features:
- Tingling Sensation: Contains ingredients that increase blood flow to the skin, creating a tingling sensation and a reddening effect.
- Intense Color: The increased circulation enhances melanin production for a deeper tan.
- Sensory Experience: Not recommended for sensitive skin or beginners due to the intense tingling effect.
Coolants
Best for: Those who prefer a cooling effect during and after tanning.
Features:
- Cooling Sensation: Includes ingredients that provide a refreshing, cooling sensation on the skin, which can be soothing during a tanning session.
- Hydration: Often contains hydrating and soothing ingredients to combat the heat from the tanning bed.
