Why You Need a Tanning Lotion

A lot of people think tanning is all about getting that color, not realizing they have to protect their skin as well. One of the ways to do that is simply to use a good tanning lotion.

 

Not many people know that this product is, in fact, very important.  It doesn't only improve the quality of the tan they get. It also actually helps the skin in so many ways while it is subjected to tanning technology.

 

This lotions has nutrients that the skin needs in order to retain its natural beauty. It has moisturizing ingredients that keep the skin firm, free of wrinkles, and hydrated. Not to mention it can also dramatically improve the tanning result.

 

If you're looking for a tanning lotion, there are a few things you need to consider. One is whether or not you want it to have a bronzer, which is actually DHA (dihydroxy acid), that harmless chemical that perks up your tan and makes for the bronze effect. Bronzers tend to speed up the tanning up the tanning process because they have ingredients that promote the production of melanin. If you just want the color-producing effects of melanin but not the bronze look, an intensifier will be good to use. You can also check out a tingle lotion which works by transporting more blood to your skin surface. This product gives you an instant boost of tan but this will only last you about a few hours.  

 

As mentioned, tanning lotions do not only improve your tanning results by more than 50%, but they also promote general skin health. Products that combine different products are also known to work perfectly. For example, intensifiers can go with tingle lotions, but no bronzers for those who have freckles or dark spots, which are likely to end up darker-looking. If you feel like it's darker to tan your legs for some reason (happens for most people), the tingle lotion will work.

 

There are many other less common types of tanning lotions out there. Whichever you choose, choose only after you have done your research. And don't forget that when it comes to these products, the brand matters and that will be part of your research.

 

Know which lotions are popular and which ones are better for you to avoid. Still, you have to remember that products don't always work the same for everybody. We have different skin types, so don't forget to factor this into your research for the best tanning lotion.
