Indoor tanning lotions are designed specifically for use with an ultraviolet light source, which is found in tanning beds. There are several different options available with indoor tanning lotions, including lotions that give a bronzing effect, and lotions that moisturize the skin.

Yes it is because a tanning bed will further dry your skin. I would ask a dermatologist or the people at the tanning bed you use to recommend the best lotions for your skin type.

What is the dangers of tanning beds?

Tanning beds expose you to UV light which has been linked to cancer. Tanning beds can also cause premature wrinkles and damage to your skin cells. If the proper tanning lotions are used you can help prevent damage to your skin. I would suggest that you find out what type of skin you have and which tanning lotion is right for you. If you tan in moderation and protect yourself properly you can avoid some of the potentially harmful effects.


How long before an indoor tanning session should I apply lotion?

This is a very popular question and I'll explain why it's better to apply indoor tanning lotions before tanning. Most indoor tanning lotions have some type of moisturizer in them. Moisturizers help protect your skin because they keep moisture inside your skin that would generally be lost due to the excessive heat inside the tanning bed. Applying lotions before entering the tanning bed at least 15 minutes before tanning allows those moisturizers and vitamins like vitamin E enough time to soak into your skin. If you apply tanning lotion right before entering the tanning bed your skin may not have enough time to soak up all of the moisturizers and UV protection before tanning which can have adverse effects on your skin.


How does a self tanning lotion work?

Indoor tanning lotion is going to help increase the melanin production in your skin which in turn helps you tan faster. If you don't use lotion before getting into a tanning bed, you're (dry) skin will reflect the UV light for the first 6-8 minutes you're in the bed. Some tanning lotions include bronzers, which show a little extra added 'fake' color right away, while others have a lot of skin care ingredients to take care of your skin while tanning. Choose an indoor tanning lotion with alot of vitamins and minerals, as these are depleted when you tan. Using better lotion helps you tan faster and keeps your skin healthy.


What is the difference between bronzer accelerator and amplifier tanning lotion?

Accelerators, maximizers, and intensifiers are all sort of "generic" terms for tanning lotion. These lotions generally have no bronzers. Accelerator is a term most used to describe a "beginner" tanning lotion, something to help start your tan. Do not be afraid of these words, it doesn't mean you will burn. They will help you tan. You should never tan without an indoor tanning lotion. Maximizers and intersifiers are generally the "second step" tanning lotion for a more experienced tanner - HOWEVER - it DOES NOT mean you can't start out with these lotions. The maximizer lotions have extras for the more experienced tanner such as Theraplexin, which increases the body's rate of DNA repair by up to 400% and produces a deeper darker tan for an extended period of time. This does not necessarily mean that a beginner can't use this lotion, but it does mean the lotion costs more. Bronzer lotions enhance your tan with "extra color". Sometimes bronzers are just cosmetic color, the kind that will just wash off. Some bronzers are a derivitave of DHA which is a type of self-tanner. Some bronzers today have dual, triple and even quadruple bronzers. Designer Skin makes awesome "low maintenance" bronzers that will not streak or stain or turn a funky color.
