Why should I use indoor tanning lotions?

Tanning Frequently Asked Questions & Benefits, FAQ
Indoor tanning lotions also known as "accelerators" add nutrients your body needs to produce melanin. Our line of quality accelerators contain vitamin A, C, E, and botanicals that moisturize and increase blood flow, thus increasing oxygenation of melanin cells to help speed up the tanning process. UV rays reflect off of dry skin, the moisturizers in tanning accelerators help you absorb UV rays for better results. You will tan about twice as fast and keep your tan twice as long.

Why should I use a indoor tanning lotion?

FAQs
Well cared for skin tans quicker, darker, and stays tan longer than neglected skin. A lotion will help enhance and maintain your tan longer. Here are three ways it helps. It is necessary that skin be hydrated sufficiently to reach and maintain the desired tan. Dry, neglected skin will actually reflect UV light, not allowing it to tan underneath. In addition, neglected skin exfoliates faster, causing the tan to fade quicker. Lotions use blends of botanical oils that moisturize deep into the skin.

Is indoor tanning as effective as outdoor tanning?

Tanning Frequently Asked Questions & Benefits, FAQ
Yes, in fact, sometimes more so because you are in a controlled environment. Your skin produces a tan the same way in an indoor tanning salon as it does when you lay out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) light. However, out in the sun, you cannot control the amount of UV light exposure and trying to achieve an all-over even-body tan is very difficult. Indoor tanning allows you to control the amount of UV light, for all all-over even tan.

Why do some tanning lotions make my skin feel warm and tingly?

Carefree Tan Troon
A variety of ingredients will bring the blood to the surface of the skin for increased tanning potential. When the skin is "stimulated", oxygen rushes to the surface which helps increase the skin's ability to tan. There are varying degrees of "heat" or "tingle" and it is recommended that you start out with a low tingle and work your way up as your tan increases. The "tingle" effect should begin to fade in approximately one hour.
