Does tanning lotion actually do anything?

It sure does! When you don’t have tanning lotion on, your skin is dry and reflects the sun rays. When you wear tanning lotion it helps your skin to absorb the sun rays and give you a dark rich tan. We recommend you always tan with a tanning lotion if you want to get any color.

Now the kind of lotion you would need depends on what kind of tan you want.

  • If you tan easy, any lotion will work great!
  • If you tan okay- You will need a Bronzing lotion or tingle lotion.
  • If it’s hard to tan- Natural bronzer or accelerator lotion.

Why is it better to tan indoor vs. outdoors?

Tanning indoors is controlled whereas outside it is not. The proper amount of rays and time can be determined indoors to maximize your tan. There are also less reddening rays indoors, which mean you’re getting more of the bronzing rays. The bronzing rays are what help build your melanin.
