Everything You Need To Know About Buying The Right Tanning Lotion

Buying tanning lotion can be an overwhelming project for someone who has never done it before. There are different tanning lotions for different types of light. There are different options for different skin tones. There are different brands of tanning lotion. 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 of all, realize that there are three basic 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 use in conjunction with indoor tanning salon beds. It moisturizes the skin to protect it and facilitates the speed of the tanning process 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 jumpstart 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.

Speaking of tanning salons, that’s one place that you might go when you are ready to begin buying tanning lotions. They are staffed with professionals who are able to assist you in finding the right products based on your specific tanning needs. They’ll also answer any questions that you may continue to have about buying tanning lotions. However, you do have other options for locations to buy tanning lotions. Stores that sell beauty products, day spas and online stores are all places where people buy tanning lotions.

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.

Here are a few of my favorite and most popular tingle tanning lotions:

Tips For Buying Tanning Lotion Online

Buying tanning lotion online is a great way to buy tanning lotions. It is my favorite way for a number of reasons. You can usually get it at the cheapest possible price and you don’t even have to leave your home. How much better can it get? Just like purchasing anything online, there are normal precautions that you should take. Follow the tips below and you will be fine.

1) Only buy tanning lotion from places that are popular and well known. It is recommended that you only shop at places that you are familiar with and trust. Great examples are Amazon and Ebay.

2) Make sure the seller is creditable. When purchasing from sites such as Ebay you need to look at who is selling you the tanning product. Check out the seller’s feedback to make sure is at least 95% positive. If the seller has a great feedback you know this person is a good candidate to purchase tanning lotion from.

3) Make sure you know exactly what you are buying. Before clicking the purchase button, make sure you read the description of the product. Check to makes sure you are buying an actual bottle of tanning lotion. It is easy to mistake a sample pack for a regular size bottle. Check out the return process as well, or if the seller even offers one.

4) Look at the shipping price. The shipping price will vary from seller to seller, so make sure you check this out before you purchase or bid on an item. Lots of sellers offer free shipping while others might charge a larger amount. Always calculate the shipping price in addition to the purchase price before bidding or purchasing an item.

5) Look at the standard shipping time or method. Ground mail can take around two weeks. So don’t order tanning lotion and expect it to be there the next day, unless next-day delivery is included with the online purchase. Some sellers offer the option to purchase next-day or express delivery if you are in a hurry.
