Indoor Tanning Lotion | Benefits of using Indoor Tanning Lotion


With the destruction of the ozone layer exposing us to ever more hazardous UV in sunlight, the advantages of using an indoor tanning lotion are easy to see.  Everyone knows that you are at risk with continuous overexposure to various skin diseases and cancer.

Unfortunately the standard view of a good looking, healthy person has not changed, and a bronzed body is still the goal of many.  In order to still attain that healthy tanned look people are using various self tanners and tan accelerators, also visiting salons for various sun bed treatments.  Often an indoor tanning lotion will be used before and after a sun bed treatment.

The benefits are as follows:

•    You don’t have to be exposed to harsh sunlight.  Tanning treatments at a good tanning salon are monitored and timed to provide just the right amount of exposure without being at risk of skin problems.

•    No burnt back and lily white belly.  Lotions used in conjunction with tanning beds ensure a good all over tan, by reason of their controlled environment.

•    Costume (or bathing suit) tans can be eliminated.

•    It’s quicker.  No longer do you have to spend hours in the sun worrying about whether you’ve had enough, or too much sun.  Indoor tanning lotions enable you to spend ten to fifteen minutes, two or three sessions per week to get that tan.

•    Tanning Lotions can enable you to go for fewer treatments.  The ingredients in the lotion, (for example Tyrosine) improve the colour of the tan with fewer sun bed sessions.

•    These tanning products provide some protection for the skin.  Different additives such as hempseed oil and Vitamin E moisturise and add anti ageing properties to the skin to combat damaging UV rays.  Certain lotions have a degree of UV protection.

These lotions will actually accelerate the effect of the sun and could cause severe burning if used incorrectly so it is not recommended to be used outside.  This is so even though some indoor tanning lotions provide a certain amount of UV protection.
