Is “Tingle” Tanning Lotion Dangerous?

I’m sure a lot of people wonder this same thing, I sometimes even wonder this myself because when you are lying in the tanning bed and your skin is tingling and burning, it makes you feel like something must be wrong. However this is exactly what the tingle tanning lotion is suppose to do and as far as I know and have been told, this is completely safe. Here is alittle more on how a tingle tanning lotion works.

Many indoor tanning lotions can be formulated with TINGLE to aid in the tanning process. Tingle tanning lotions and sprays contain high concentrations of natural vitamins and botanical oils that stimulate the skin’s microcirculation by bringing blood closer to the surface of the skin. By stimulating the skin with Tingle, the blood along with melanin is forced to the surface. This can increase the tanning process and may get you through your tanning plateau. It is best to start with lower levels of Tingle tanning lotions. As your tan progresses, you can work up to higher levels of Tingle tanning power.This is recomended so that your body becomes accustomed to the stimulation. As your body adjusts over several tanning sessions, you may gradually work to higher levels.

I personally have a hard time tanning my arms and legs, so I use tingle tanning lotion only on my arms and legs. I do not recomend using a tingler on your face, but if you feel that you must put a tingle tanning lotion on your face I would make sure that you have used it many, many times before on the rest of your body so that you are aware of exactly what it will do. Keep in mind that the skin on your face is much more sensitive than the skin in other areas of the body and could have a much different affect. I like to use a nice bronzer all over the rest of my body and also on my arms and legs, I then put the tingle lotion right over top of the bronzer.

How Does “Tingle” Tanning Lotion Work?

Tingle tanning lotions  work by increasing the circulation to the outer layers of your skin. This circulation increases the oxygen available to the skin, therefore tanning you faster. The side effects include a reddening effect, a “tingling” sesation possibly even “burning” sensation, and sometimes blotchy spots. This all goes away in a few hours. But it works wonderfully, especially if you are having trouble getting darker. You should not use a tingler if you are a beginner tanner. You should have a good base tan and be up to 20 mins in the tanning bed before using a tingle lotion.

I do not recommend putting tingle lotions on your face and you also have to be careful because you can transfer the burning sensation to other people very easily just through touch. Children and babies need to be especially careful around, always wash your hands and arms really good before touching any babies or kids.

**I have sensitive skin and don’t react that well to a tingle tanning lotion. Here is my secret, I use a bronzer all over and then just apply a tingler to my hard to tan areas, like my arms and legs. This way I don’t have to deal with the burning feeling so much but I still get the great benefits that tingle tanning lotions provide.
