Tanning Bed Specific Lotions Enhance Your Tan

In order to enhance the quality of your tan, you will need to liberally apply a tanning bed lotion that is specifically made for use with a tanning bed. It is recommended that you apply the tanning bed lotion at least one hour prior to tanning and reapply after your tanning session, because it will help protect your skin and encourage the tanning process. If you were not already aware, tanning will continue after you have finished your tanning bed session, which is why it is important to reapply tanning bed lotion afterwards.

The key ingredient in lotions specifically used with tanning beds is tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amino acid that assists UVB rays in triggering the production of melanin, which is what give pigment to skin. The UVA rays will oxidize the melanin and produce color. Also, tyrosine will help your body retain melanin longer, enhancing your tan longer.

A majority of the tanning bed lotions will contain Vitamin E, which is useful in fighting off the signs of aging that can happen due to tanning and it is a wonderful moisturizer. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties like that of tyrosine, which is instrumental in preventing wrinkles and line that tend to form on the skin, especially the face. Another ingredient found in tanning bed lotions is copper, which helps diminish scars and blemishes.

Since UVA rays have a tendency to dry out your skin, the tanning bed lotions contains moisturizers to help lessen the dryness and peeling. You may even find that some tanning bed lotions will contain ingredients such as aloe vera and hemp seed oil, which are important elements for protecting the skin from harmful effects stemming from the environment.

There are many types of lotions specific for tanning bed use available on the market. Certain tanning bed lotions are specifically used to accelerate the tanning process and then others are used specifically to moisturize the skin after the actual tanning bed session.

Tanning bed lotions are also designed for different skin types. People with light skin or those who are new to the tanning bed process should use a Type I or II tanning bed lotion. Those with medium skin tones or slight tans will want to use a Type II, III or IV tanning bed lotion. People with dark skin will need to use a Type IV or V tanning bed lotion. You can even find tanning bed lotions that have incredible scents such as chocolate or cappuccino. So make sure before you use a tanning bed, you find a tanning bed lotion that suits you.
