You care about your health, which is why you carefully read your food labels. So why not read your beauty products’ labels too? After all, what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body. This applies to all your beauty products, including makeup, hair creams, gels, cleaners, and of course, moisturizers. As for tanning lotion, it is even more important to know which ingredients you are using since they are formulated to make changes in your skin. Last week, we discussed the different types of tanning lotions, while this week, we’ll review the common ingredients used in such products.

Common Tanning Lotion Ingredients:

DHA (dihydroxyacetone)

This is a common high-intensity, chemical-based bronzer. It delivers instant color that lasts longer.

Methyl Nicotinate

This is an active ingredient that promotes micro-circulation in the skin, as well as a tingling or warming effect. It increases melanin production in the skin to deliver a faster tan.

Body Blush

Body blush is an active ingredient that works very similar to a tingler or hot action lotion. It promotes blood flow and pigment coloration in the skin.

Hemp Seed Oil

Tanning lotions can contain a wide variety of natural oils for moisturizing, including green tea extract, tea tree oil, and most commonly, hemp seed oil. Natural oils like this have less alcohol in them, making them a more effective moisturizer.

Silicone

Another mineral ingredient used for moisturizing the skin, silicone conditions the skin and makes it soft and hydrated for days.

Vitamin A

Also called Beta carotene, Vitamin A delivers enhanced pigmentation in the skin.

Caffeine

Caffeine is often added to tanning lotion to invigorate the skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness.

Anti-Aging Elements

Many tanning lotions are formulated with anti-aging elements, primarily vitamins, to reduce the effects of aging on the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a common anti-aging element used in tanning lotions, but it also makes the skin very soft and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Shimmer

Shimmers are additives used in tanning lotions that deliver a reflective, glimmering affect. It leaves skin looking tan and glowing.

3 Types of Indoor Tanning Lotions

No indoor tanning lotion is the same. Not only can you find thousands of name brands on the market, you will come across tanning lotions that provide different functions. Some make you tan faster, while others support skin care and color longevity. Regardless of the tanning lotion you choose, it is important to familiarize yourself with its purpose. This will ensure you are using the right product for your specific tanning goals. You may also ask the professional tanning consultants at the local neighborhood tanning salon for help making your selection.

Continue reading to learn about the 3 most common indoor tanning lotions and how they differ from one another.

Accelerators

Also called maximizers, tanning accelerators are a common indoor tanning lotion used in the industry. They are formulated to emphasize and prolong tanning results. This means the skin achieves a base tan faster and retains its color longer. They are recommended for beginners because they do not contain any added color dyes or bronzing agents, but they do contain a lot of moisturizing and skin care agents. Once a beginner has achieved a base tan, they can move onto stronger, more aggressive indoor tanning lotions.

Tinglers

Tinglers, also referred to as hot action lotions, contain special active ingredients that stimulate micro-circulation in the skin. These active agents, commonly benzyl or methyl nicotinate, increase blood flow and deliver more oxygen to the skin cells. This promotes a deeper, longer-lasting tan in a shorter amount of time. Upon application, they will cause a tingling, burning sensation while tanning, followed by a cooling sensation. For these reasons and more, they are not recommended for first-time tanning clients. Before using a tingler, it is best to test an area of the skin first to see if you have any discomfort or adverse reaction. You may also talk to your trusted tanning consultant for professional advice.

Bronzers

If you are looking for a deeper, darker tan, a bronzer lotion is a great choice. Bronzers contain added coloring agents that deliver a deep, rich, dark tan. They are formulated with the same ingredient used in self-tanning products, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that temporarily alters the cells of the skin. Bronzing lotions will render an instant tan, and then continue to darken the skin hours after tanning. For these reasons, they are recommended for those who already has a base tan and with tanning experience. And if you choose to tan with an indoor bronzer, just remember to always wash your hands after tanning!

Tanning Bed Basics for Beginner Tanners

Posted on by

Tanning beds are a wonderful alternative to outdoor sun-tanning. However, there are a few things you should know before stepping into one for the first time. Indoor tanning is much different than tanning in the sun, but it has several advantages; the best of which being that it provides a real tan almost instantly. But in order to benefit from all that indoor tanning has to offer, you must know how to tan safely and care for your skin effectively.

Continue reading to learn some basic indoor tanning information, as well as, a few tips you will need to protect yourself and get the most out of your experience.

Tanning Safety

The first aspect to remember when it comes to indoor tanning is safety. Not only must you use proper accessories to better protect your body from over-exposure, you must also choose a responsible agenda that matches your skin tone and type. Tanning salons will provide most safety accessories at a very low cost, or sometimes free upon request. These include eye goggles and eye stickers. The eye goggles used for indoor tanning are very small, and designed to cover only the lower eye lid. This protects your eyes while preventing an obvious tan line. The stickers are used for the exact same purpose, but rather than a pair of goggles, they are small reflective stickers that safely cover your eyes while tanning. These accessories, if not free, are extremely cheap; generally between 25 cents and a dollar. You can also purchase your own to re-use at a relatively low price.

Another aspect of tanning safely involves your skin tone and type. Keep in mind, if you do not tan in the natural sun, you will likely not tan from a bed either. If you have sensitive, fair skin, you will need a gentle and slow tanning course; whereas, if your skin tends to tan well, you can probably move up the tanning bed scale a bit faster. Along with a proper tanning course, you will need to protect your skin before and after tanning. This means using sun screen all over your body beforehand, and then applying a quality post-tanning moisturizer on a routine basis.

You will do well to know that there are several types of tanning products available to assist and protect your skin through the tanning process. Be sure to have a tanning consultant asses your skin type in order for them to recommend the safest and most effective course of tanning for you. All of these tips and more will better prepare you for fun, relaxing, and effective tanning!
