WHAT ARE TANNING LOTIONS / CREAMS?

Tanning accelerators, also known as indoor tanning lotions or creams, are designed to enhance and optimise your tanning experience on a sunbed.

Here are the benefits of using a tanning accelerator on a sunbed:

Tanning accelerators contain ingredients that help your skin produce melanin more efficiently. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin darkening. As a result, you can achieve a faster and deeper tan compared to tanning without an accelerator. Accelerator lotions often contain ingredients that help your skin tan more quickly and evenly, reducing the time needed for tanning sessions.

Many tanning accelerators contain moisturising ingredients that keep your skin hydrated during the tanning process. This helps prevent your skin from drying out, flaking, or peeling, which can result from exposure to UV rays.

Moisturise and Hydrate: Sunbed lotions typically include moisturising agents to prevent your skin from drying out during tanning, which can lead to a longer lasting and more even tan.

Tanning accelerators can extend the life of your tan. The enhanced melanin production and moisturizing effects can help your tan last longer and fade more evenly.

Some tanning accelerators also contain vitamins, antioxidants, and other skin-nourishing ingredients that can provide added benefits for your skin’s health.

Certain accelerators are formulated to reduce the potential for redness or irritation that can occur after tanning. They often contain ingredients like aloe vera to soothe the skin.

Tanning accelerators may include bronzing or intensifying agents that give your skin a temporary, immediate, and enhanced dark colour, helping you look tanned while your natural tan develops.

Some lotions contain bronzing agents or enhancers that can deepen the colour or of your tan, giving you a more vibrant result.

A sunbed bronzer lotion is a tanning product designed specifically for use in tanning beds or sunbeds. Typically, these lotions incorporate ingredients that accelerate the tanning process and intensify the bronzing effect on your skin. They often feature moisturizing elements, bronzers, and tanning enhancers to help you attain a deeper tan in less time. Many tanning lotions aim to provide a subtle tan when applied to the skin, often involving ingredients like dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that interact with the outer layer of the skin to produce a temporary change in skin color. Adhering to the product’s instructions is essential for achieving a natural-looking tan. The color typically develops over several hours and can last for multiple days. It’s important to keep in mind that the intensity of the tan may vary depending on the specific product and your skin type. Additionally, it’s essential to note that tanning lotions do not offer the same level of UV protection as sunscreen, so it remains crucial to use sunscreen when exposed to the sun to safeguard your skin from potential sun damage.

A sunbed bronzer is a specialized tanning product tailored to enhance and expedite the tanning process when using sunbeds or indoor tanning equipment. These products frequently contain a blend of ingredients aimed at achieving a deeper and more immediate tan while providing additional skincare benefits. Key characteristics of sunbed bronzers often include:

  • Bronzing Agents
    Sunbed bronzers typically contain components like dihydroxyacetone (DHA) or erythrulose, which react with the skin to create a temporary tan that develops quickly, resulting in an immediate bronze or tan appearance.
  • Moisturizers
    Many sunbed bronzers include moisturizing elements to maintain skin hydration, preventing dryness and flakiness often associated with tanning.
  • Tanning Enhancers
    These products may feature ingredients such as tyrosine or other melanin-boosting compounds, stimulating melanin production in the skin, thereby enhancing the tanning process.
  • Skin Care Ingredients
    Sunbed bronzers often incorporate antioxidants, vitamins, and other skincare components to shield and nourish the skin during the tanning process.
  • Fragrance
    To mask the scent of DHA and provide an appealing aroma, sunbed bronzers frequently include fragrances to leave a more pleasant scent on the skin. It’s essential to meticulously follow the provided instructions for the specific sunbed bronzer product and use it in moderation. Additionally, always ensure to wear protective eyewear when using sunbeds.

What is a Sunbed tingle lotion/cream?

A sunbed tingle lotion is a type of tanning product designed for use in tanning beds, and it is formulated to intensify the tanning process. These lotions consist of ingredients that induce a tingling or warming sensation on the skin, which in turn can boost blood circulation and encourage melanin production. It’s worth noting that tingle lotions may not be suitable for everyone and might cause discomfort for some individuals. Therefore, it’s crucial to exercise caution when using them and strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s provided instructions.
