You don't necessarily have to use a tanning lotion, however many will highly recommend it. Tanning lotions help you to get a darker color faster, plus if you go in a tanning bed with dry skin, 60% of the rays are bouncing off of you, so that's money wasted. On top of that tanning lotions have a lot of vitamins and minerals that help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
The best lotion for use in a tanning bed is a dedicated indoor tanning lotion that is designed to enhance and accelerate the tanning process while providing hydration to the skin. Look for products that contain ingredients like bronzers, moisturizers, and essential vitamins. Avoid lotions with SPF, as they can block UV rays and hinder tanning. Popular brands include Australian Gold, Ed Hardy, and Devoted Creations, which offer various formulations tailored to different skin types and tanning goals.
Nope! Tanning lotions work by being activated by UV light, so whether your indoor tanning or outdoor tanning, you can still use a tanning lotion. Using a lotion specifically for tanning will dramatically help boost your color to get darker faster, plus it has a lot of vitamins and minerals to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Tanning accelerators DO help quicken the tanning process. Dry skin will reflect the UV rays that make you tan. By using the accelerator, the UV rays get absrbed into the skin, making you tan faster. TANNING WITHOUT LOTIONS IN A TANNING BED IS A WASTE OF TANNING TIME AND MONEY!

Tanning lotions are essential for tanning in tanning beds. There are several different reasons why and I'll explain them to you below. If you do not use a tanning lotion in a tanning bed you may damage your skin because of the harmful effects of UV light. Tanning lotions are designed to either block UV light or increase the effects of UV light on your skin. Tanning lotions will moisture your skin and some contain Vitamin E which helps repair damaged cells. Without moisturizing your skin you can develop wrinkles or have your skin peel.

A tanning bed is not safer than chemical tans, as there is no risk of skin cancer or premature aging from the chemicals as there is from tanning beds and UV rays.
Not much--it still produces UV radiation.
yes. because the UV is more direct in tanning beds.
In a tanning bed, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and UV radiation. The thermal energy heats up the bulbs to produce UV radiation, which then interacts with the skin to induce tanning.
The tanning bed was invented in the late 19th century by Friedrich Wolff in 1978. He developed the modern tanning bed using UV lamps to simulate sunlight exposure for tanning purposes.
Canopy tanning beds consist of a canopy with many UV lamps mounted onto it, it does not require you to lie down and be isolated like the regular tanning bed, with a canopy tanning bed you can be in any comfortable position.
