Best Tanning Lotion that Suits you....

The best tanning lotion differs from one person to another. Basically, the best tanning lotion of one person may not be best for others. There are a lot of things to be considered as to what tanning lotion is best suitable for you. First is the skin types of a person. It could be oily, dry, normal or combination. Second, tanning experiences that you had. Third is the type of tanning bed bulbs. Then, the tanning bed equipment.

Some of the active ingredients found in common tanning lotions include melanin and L-Tyrosine. Other commonly found ingredients include tea oil, copper(in many different chemical compounds), extract and many other natural oils. Ingredients vary widely from brand to brand.

Most products come in 7 to 8 oz bottles, although some come in 16.9 oz (500 ml) or larger for wholesale salons. The user typically uses between .5 and 1.0 oz per tanning session, spreading liberally over all exposed areas.

While fragrance offers no advantage in tanning, it is often one of the most critical elements in which brand a person prefers. This is because most people use tanning lotions in a tanning bed, which is a closed environment, so the aroma of the lotion is much more pronounced than lotions used outdoors. To some, the right lotion will have aromatherapy benefits.

Indoor tanning lotions are usually designed to only use ingredients that will not cause damage or build up on acrylic surfaces. This is because all tanning beds use 100% acrylic in the protective shields. Acrylic is used because of its transparency to UV, relative ease to mold and moderate cost. This is one reason people should not use outdoor tanning lotion in a tanning bed, as some common ingredients such as mineral oil(also called baby oil) will damage the surface of the acrylics.

One of the primary purposes for using indoor tanning lotions is to moisturize the skin. This is because tanning (indoors or out) can dehydrate the skin so additional moisturization is needed to compensate and leave the skin looking smooth and healthy. The primary moisturizing ingredients in tanning lotions are essentially the same as in regular hand lotions, although they tend to have less alcohol in them.

One of the most popular moisturizing elements in tanning lotions is hempseed oil. This oil is THC-free, so it is legal in the US and has no drug reactions. Because it is high in fatty acids, it helps to seal in moisture and maintain the effects from tanning.

It is recommended that a person will always choose the product that best suits to him having realized those said factors.
