Are lotions necessary when tanning indoors?
No, but they can certainly enhance the results. Different lotions are formulated with a variety of ingredients and each product is unique, however they generally include skin nutrients and components to encourage the skin’s production of melanin (pigment) and also often function as moisturizers to maintain the skin’s healthy appearance and feel. Moisturizers are recognized as the single most important factor in maintaining your skin’s tanning potential and to prevent the drying that often occurs with exposure to Ultraviolet light. The products we carry are specifically designed for indoor tanning. Our tanning consultants can recommend products we carry that should work best for you. You should never wear oil in a tanning bed as the tanning results can be undesirable and the clear acrylic surface of the tanning bed can be damaged.
