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.

This chemical reacts with dead skin cells on the outer surface of the skin and cause the dead skin cells to turn a darker color. As the body releases the dead skin cells, the self tan expires.
