Discover Find Out How To Know Indoor Tanning Lotions Work

By Haywood Hunter


Most people do not know where to begin when selecting indoor tanning lotions. They worry about the side effects that such tan accelerators might have on their skins. They are definitely justified in their concerns, since peoples skins and bodies react differently to various tanning lotions. The tingle that one experiences after applying some tanning lotions is another aspect affecting different people in various ways. A variety of chemicals are added to the indoor tanning lotions in order to produce these tingles. This begs the questions such as which ingredients are contained in the lotions, and what makes them tingle.

Ingredients that tan the skin and those which moisturize it are some of those most commonly applied in the manufacture of indoor tanning lotions . A wide variety of chemicals are used to enable skin color to change, by stimulating the skin to secrete more melanin that alters skin color. L-Tyrosine is one of the chemicals.

In most cases, the actual melanin is included in the indoor tanning lotions, especially in the case of those that are not supposed to cause any tingle. Sometimes, DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is added to help in achieving an almost instant tanning effect. Copper in different types is also included to add a bronzing effect.

Other ingredients are included to increase the skins moisture retention as well as to preserve it. Such ingredients vary from lotion to lotion, with some indoor tanning lotions using walnut oil, tea tree oil, hempseed oil, and others combine menthol and other cooling additives.

When applied in accordance with the laid down instructions, lotion tingle as tan accelerators is basically safer for use. The tingle is as a result of the active ingredients that actually stimulate the skin to stimulate melanin. People who use indoor tanning lotions react differently to the ingredients, but in most cases do not experience any unpleasant effects.

Whenever a user applies such indoor tanning lotions, they are not guaranteed that no allergic reactions will occur to them. Hence, prior to applying the lotion on the entire body, a person should perform a test by applying it on a small patch on the body.

The aim of indoor tanning lotions is to provide a user with a tanned appearance without them having to bask in sun radiation. It is however apparent that a majority of users have no idea how the lotions give the skin its synthetic bronze. The most commonly applied ingredient in making these lotions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) mentioned before. This is a color additive that darkens the skin by reacting with the present amino acids within the skin surface. Their use should be discontinued in case the user experiences unpleasant side effects such as allergic reactions or rashes.

Some indoor tanning lotions may have particular oils that assist the users skin absorb ultraviolet rays. This fast tracks the process of tanning, through causing the body to produce melanin, the tincture that is responsible for tanning the skin. Unfortunately, not all the lotion types are safe and users should be careful when choosing them.

If a person spends some time exposed to sunlight, they should use indoor tanning lotions that protects them from harmful UV rays as opposed to those absorbing them.
