Benefits of Indoor Tanning Lotion

Tanning indoors has always been a very controversial topic because most people believe that it is bad for your skin and overall health.  There are many advantages to indoor tanning if you follow safety precautions given by trained professionals.  You can learn to maximize the benefits and minimize your risk of sunburn or other problems associated with tanning.

Indoor tanning is a controlled environment where you get to choose the exposure time and strength of the tanning bed allowing you to achieve optimal results with minimal exposure.  Trained professionals will provide you with all the information and products you will need to achieve a great tan. 

Indoor tanning lotions are full of helpful ingredients that are formulated to enhance the effect of UV rays.  They do not require SPF because with indoor tanning your tan time is set to limit your exposure to UV rays.  Since indoor tanning lotions are specifically designed for shorter sessions you will achieve a quick deep rich tan.  Indoor tanning lotions are formulated to stimulate the body’s natural tanning process by opening up your pores and while keeping your skin moisturized and conditioned.

The main ingredient in tanning lotion is melanin and tyrosine.  Melanin is the pigment in your skin that allows your skin to darken and has a natural SPF factor.  Tyrosine are amino acids from protein that are converted through metabolic steps to produce the melanin in your body.  By having these in your lotions you are able to accelerate the tanning process.  It is always a good idea to build up your tan gradually.  By doing this your pigment will get a change to develop and be able to protect yourself to UV light, giving your skin a natural tan without burning.
