Why do some tanning lotions make my skin feel warm and tingly?
A variety of ingredients will bring the blood to the surface of the skin for increased tanning potential. When the skin is “stimulated”, oxygen rushes to the surface which helps increase the skin’s ability to tan. There are varying degrees of “heat” or “tingle” and it is recommended that you start out with a low tingle and work your way up as your tan increases. The “tingle” effect should begin to fade in approximately one hour. Our Tanning Consultants are trained to help you decide whether a “tingling” tanning lotion would be right for you and if so, will also help you decide which one would be best. For more information about “tingling” tanning products, see our “Tanning and Spa Products” page.
