The Many Types of Tanning Lotions

There are three basic types of tanning lotions. The most common are accelerators and bronzers but for more advanced tanners who like to try new products there are also some lotions known as tingle lotions. The purpose of any type of lotion is to improve the results of the tanning sessions.

Accelerator lotions are designed for the purpose as their name suggests. It is suppose to make the wearer tan faster than they would without the accelerator. This particular lotion is good for tanning beginners because it moisturizes the skin which makes it easier for the skin to take in the ultraviolet rays.

For more advanced users, tingle lotions offer another way to improve the skin’s ability to produce melanin. Although it is not a guarantee that there is any improvement, this type of lotion increases the blood flow to the surface of the skin which is believed to help. Some people might experience a swelling or irritation of the skin which is why we only recommend it for people who know what they are doing.

Then we have the bronzer which is simply a formula used to add color to the skin immediately. The color is a fake tan of course but the instant results allows some beginners to appear more tan than they already are if they are self conscious about being too pale.

More than just providing immediate color to the skin so the tanner doesn’t feel self conscious around other tanners, it actually does serve a more functional purpose. The coloration absorbs and redistributes the light rays to help the resulting tan come out more evenly.

Each individual tans differently and that is why it is important to know what to look for when trying to pick the best tanning lotion. Consulting the people at a tanning salon will tell you a lot about what indoor tanning lotion is right the situation. After that it is a matter of trial and error until you get it right.
