Buying The Right Tanning Lotion

by Guest Author on November 15, 2009

Buying tanning lotion can be an overwhelming project for someone who has never done it before. There are different ones for different kinds of skin and different skin tones. There are also different brands of tanning lotions.

And that doesn’t even get into issues like additional moisturizers, bronzers and vitamins that you might not know anything about. Don’t worry; after this crash course in buying tanning lotion, you’ll know what you need to feel confident about buying tanning lotion.

First off, there are three different types of tanning lotion.Outdoor tanning lotion is for going into the natural sun and may be more of a sunscreen than a tan enhancer, depending on the details of the product.Indoor tanning lotion is for of course tanning indoors in a tanning bed. It does two important things, moisturizes the skin and enhances the tan by increasing melanin in the body. Finally, sunless tanning lotions are available to people who want a natural-looking tan without exposure to UV rays. Figure out which of these tanning lotions you are going to be looking at to drastically narrow down the selection process.

Next, you should know about some of the basic ingredients to look for when buying tanning lotions. When looking at sunless tanning lotions, you’ll find that the main ingredient is DHA. The more of this that there is in the lotion, the darker the tan will likely turn out. DHA may also be an ingredient in indoor tanning lotions. In this case, it’s a lesser amount used as a bronzer to jump start the tan. You’ll want to look for tanning lotions that contain Vitamin A and Vitamin E; these are anti-aging vitamins that help keep your skin moisturized and looking fresh even when it’s exposed to rays. You’ll also want to look for indoor tanning lotions which contain tyrosine, a product that helps to keep your pores clean.

Now you know what types of tanning lotions there are and what ingredients to be keeping an eye out for. But what about the differences in your skin type from those of other people? That also affects the products that you will be buying. Your tanning lotions should indicate on their packaging what skin types they are good for. This means you just need to know your tanning skin type. There are 5 different skin types which range from very pale skin that never tans and always burns to very dark skin that never burns and always tans. Work with a salon professional to determine your specific skin type so you can choose tanning lotions that are right for you.

Tanning salons are one place you might want to go when you decide to start buying tanning lotions. They have tanning professionals that can assist you with any questions you might have about tanning and tanning lotions. However there are other places to buy tanning products such as stores that sell beauty products, day spas and online stores. I suggest going online to Amazon or Ebay, they will get you the cheapest and best deals but this is if you already know what you want. You might want to start with some sample packets to start.
