Everything You Have To Learn About Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


A tanning lotion is a beauty product that is gaining popularity among people of all walks of life especially women. It intensifies what ultra violet radiation does to your body especially the skin. Tanning lotion is thus different from sunscreen because it requires activation by UV radiation to increase blood circulating in the skin as well as increase production of melanin.

It is more common to see women in tans basking in the sun to utilize the ultraviolet rays from the sun. When used indoors you may be required to use a tanning bed or booth that produces the radiation required for the complete tanning process. Some of the latest brands of tanning lotion do not require a tanning bed to work.

A tanning lotion has numerous ingredients meant to give that beautiful skin look. It includes extracts from natural oils that have medicinal value as well as synthetic chemicals that do not react with the acrylic tanning bed that is normally used. Some tanning lotion brands have melanin in the list of ingredients to supplement melanin production.

Tea tree oil is one of the herbal extracts included in a tanning lotion because of its medicinal value also noted in other products. Green tea is also used in the formula for a tanning lotion. Such oils make the tanning lotion more of a natural product than a generic one.

The synthetic chemicals, besides melanin, that are added to the tanning lotion are L tyrosine. The other one is copper that is usually available in many different chemical formulas. Synthetic ingredients supplement what natural extracts lack.

The exposure to UV light may cause dehydration of the skin. Moisturizers must also be included in the tanning lotion so that the skin does not become dry and peel off. They include hemp tee oils. You are advised to use a tanning lotion that is recommended by your beautician.
