A great way to get the most out of your tanning experience is with the use of tanning bed lotions to keep your skin safe and to increase the speed of the tanning process.
Tanning bed lotions can be applied before and after every tanning session since the tanning process goes on for a certain period of time after each session in the tanning bed, especially when the use of tanning bed lotions is incorporated in the session. Tanning bed lotions contain a special substance called tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amino acid that aids the body’s production of melanin. The process of melanin production is stimulated by the exposure of the skin to the UVB rays that are given off by a tanning bed. The use of tanning bed lotions enhances this production. Tyrosine also aids the body in the retention of melanin by replenishing the body’s amino acids and therefore decreasing the rate of exfoliation. Tyrosine is also known to be an antioxidant, hence possessing the capability of cleaning out the pores through binding the harmful molecules together and including them in the exfoliating process. Vitamin E and copper can also be found in most tanning bed lotions. Vitamin E helps clean the pores while copper reduces the evidence of scars and other skin imperfections. The effects of Vitamin E, combined with tyrosine can also battle the signs of aging and aid in the deterrence of the development fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Most tanning bed lotions also contain moisturizing substances to prevent the skin from drying out due to the exposure to UVB rays. Tanning bed lotions provide the skin the necessary nutrients that are utilized in resisting the drying effects of the environment. Moisturized skin also tans better as compared to dry skin, so the presence of moisturizers in tanning bed lotions can enhance the efficiency of the tanning process. Many tanning bed lotions also contain aloe vera and hempseed oil, natural substances that can guard the skin from the negative effects of the natural environment. Though most tanning bed lotions are for the moisturizing and infusing of the skin with antioxidants, there are also a number of other types of tanning bed lotions for a number of different purposes. Some tanning bed lotions are known as tan accelerators or maximizers. These lotions are infused with ingredients that enhance the results of tyrosine and intensify the tanning process. Some of these tan accelerators or maximizers contains methyl nicotinate, a substance that can penetrate the skin to activate the melanin to produce a deeper color. These lotions can also produce a warm, tingling sensation and increase the blood flow to the skin’s surface to increase the rate of the tanning effect. Some tanning bed lotions are used for another purpose: for cooling the skin to prevent burns. These tanning bed lotions don’t shield the skin from burns that can develop into skin cancer, but will make the skin less sensitive to the heat. Special tanning bed lotions are also available for application for the areas around the eyes. These tanning bed lotions have vitamin E, caviar proteins and grapefruit extract as antioxidant. These substances protect the fragile area around the eyes from damage due to the effects of ultraviolet radiation. There are also tanning bed lotions that are made specifically for use after the tanning session. These lotions contain essential oils, special herbs, amino acids and vitamins that can help in the restoration of the skin and prevents any further dehydration. Tanning bed lotions also come in a variety of scents. These different varieties are normally found in tanning salons, which normally hold a full array of tanning products. You can also try going on the internet to search for any scent of tanning bed lotion that you are more inclined to use. When using tanning bed lotions, be sure to choose the type that is best suited to your type of skin. Individuals with light skin tones should choose a Type I or Type II tanning bed lotion. For individuals with a base tan or a moderate skin tone, a type II, III or IV is recommended. For people with dark skin tones, choose a lotion of Type IV or V.
