Tanning means different things to different people. To some, it may remind them of being on a beach, or perhaps a long vacation in a nice tropical country. For others it might mean a way of taking care of themselves and looking their best. Some people are lucky enough to have sun all year round to keep them tanned but many people do not have the luxury of year round sun. Fortunately for those of us who do not live near a beach, using an indoor tanning bed combined with a lotion can help us maintain a beautiful tan all the time. This type of tanning lotion is not to be confused with a lotion that can be used outdoors such as a sun block. Indoor tanning lotions work by providing immediate color to the skin, while a sun block protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Indoor tanning lotion works in conjunction with tanning beds in accelerating the production of melanin in your skin, in order to darken it according to the amount of tan that you want. It actually contains some melanin to further enhance your tan. This product is also safe to use with the acrylics that tanning beds are made of. Additionally the mineral oils found in sun block will damage tanning beds and so it is strongly advised not to use sun block for indoor tanning. Some indoor tanning lotions might cause you to experience some tingling effects, which differ from one product to the next. There is really no way to tell how the sensation will vary from one person to another when using this type of lotion because it varies according to the skin type. However, you should not worry when you begin to experience a mild tingle on your skin. This is because the product is already beginning to work on darkening your skin. It increases blood flow in order to accelerate the tanning process which is why you feel this sensation when using these types of lotions. As an extra precaution, you might consult your dermatologist if the tingling sensation is causing you discomfort. If you are a newbie tanner you should start with a lotion which does not contain a 'tingle factor'. There are plenty of lotions which are designed for a beginner tanner. In selecting the best tanning products, make sure that they also have good moisturizers in them. You need to keep your skin moisturized all the time because tanning, whether it be done indoors or outside in the sun, dries out your skin. In addition, your tan will look so much better with a hint of moisture in your skin. After tanning inside, it is best to avoid the sun for some time because your skin still has some residue left from the tanning lotion which would further accelerate the effects of UV rays on your skin. After a few days, you will be ready to bask in the sun as you normally do, but you should remember to use extra sun block for your protection.
