Bronzer Tanning Lotions

One of the most popular tanning lotions, in the tanning lotion market is a bronzer. Some indoor tanning bronzers have a very high level of bronzer in it, while others have a low amount. Both are fine just depending on what type of skin you have and whether or not you are an experienced tanner with a good base tan or just starting out.

If you want to quickly get a dark tan or darken your existing tan then a bronzer lotion would be great for you. I believe that bronzers are the best tanning lotion for pale people. Bronzers will give you a nice natural tan without having to spend as much time in the sun or under those UV lights. This can be very beneficial to the long term health of your skin.

There are a few guidelines you should follow when you use a bronzer. Here are a few easy to follow instructions that will help you get the best tan out of your bronzer.

1) Only apply specifically made facial bronzers to your face – As your face is the most visible part of your body and one of the most sensitive parts, a specifically designed facial bronzer should be used. If you use a normal tanning bronzer on your face, your face may not look as natural as it should. Facial tanning lotions with bronzer are specifically designed to give your face a nice natural, healthy, dark looking tan. (Sometimes I do cheat on this step. I don’t always have the money to buy a special facial tanning lotion, but I wouldn’t recommend doing this until you are very experienced with your tanning lotion bronzer. And by all means if you can afford to get the face stuff, do it! The outcome is well worth it.)

2.)Make sure the bronzer is applied evenly – If bronzers are not applied evenly they can cause some streaking. This usually occurs in tanning lotions with high concentration of DHA (DiHydroxAcetone), the substance used to bronze your skin. The best way to avoid this is to start tanning with only a low level bronzer. Then once you have a solid base tan try using a higher bronzer formula.

3) Only use quality, name brand bronzers – If you want to avoid an unnatural tan it is recommended that you only use high quality brand name, indoor tanning lotions. This is because some of the cheaper lotions contain low quality bronzer or too high of a percentage of DHA. When these low quality lotions are used streaking can occur or your skin starts to look orange.

4) Don’t have a shower for 4 hours after you tan in a tanning bed– As the oxidizing process of the bronzer can take several hours. The chemical reaction that occurs between the DHA and your skin can take up to four hours, so for best results one should wait a while before hopping in the shower.

5) Wash your hands after applying a bronzer – If you want to avoid turning your hands extra dark or an unnatural orange color, it is recommended that your wash your hands after applying bronzer.

6) Maintain your tan by continuing to use bronzers regularly – As the bronzing process is only temporary, if you stop using bronzers while tanning you may lose the darkened results. For best results with bronzers it is recommended that you continue to use bronzer tanning lotions.

Personally a bronzer tanning lotion is my favorite type of tanning lotion. I especially recommend it for people with fair skin. Usually people with fair skin don’t get that deep brown color that darker skinned people can achieve so easily. This can be accomplished for us very pale people too, just by using a bronzer tanning lotion!

The Different Types Of Tanning Lotions

If you are going to go tanning indoors, in a tanning bed, you have to use some kind of indoor tanning lotion. One without the other is not going to give you the best possible tan. I know that sometimes tanning lotions can be kind of expensive but it is worth it to invest the extra money and get yourself a bottle of tanning lotion. There are some places, right on the internet that you can actually get a pretty reasonable priced bottle of lotion.

Tanning lotions can sometimes be a bit confusing especially if your new to the whole indoor tanning thing. Heck, even if your not, it can still be overwhelming. Indoor tanning lotions are basically broken up in to five different types of tanning lotions. Depending on your personal preference and skin type you can choose which tanning lotion is right for you. This list should help you decipher between the different characteristics you see in the description on the bottles of lotion.

The first type of tanning lotion is a basic accelerator. These type of tanning lotions are great for someone who is just beginning to tan and does not yet have a base tan. It’s also great for people with pale or sensitive skin. Many of these have great anti-aging elements in them. If you have dry skin, look for an aloe based formula with moisturizing hemp seed oil in it.

The most popular indoor tanning lotion out right now is a bronzer. These are great because they give you that natural brown glow. Bronzers are my favorite kind of tanning lotion because I have paler skin and my tan tends to look more reddish and the bronzer helps with that, making my tan look more brown or bronze. Always try to apply evenly and wipe hands off afterward.

There are also tinglers. These indoor tan tinglers stimulate your skin, causing it to redden and become irritated. This effect can last for hours and result in an uncomfortable burning and itching feeling. Be careful if you have small children because this can be easily transferred to your child and make their skin become red and irritated as well, and we don’t want that! Despite all of these bad side effects, tinglers remain the most effective tanning lotions. Combine them with a good bronzer, and you are sure to have a beautiful, dark tan.

Some indoor tanning lotions are made specially for your face, called facial tanning lotions or facial tanners.The skin on your face is more sensitive than the rest of your body. Most indoor tanning lotions are not designed to be applied to your face. Opt for a special tanning lotion just for the face. Or, better yet, apply SPF to protect the face from tanning, and just use a great make-up bronzer to achieve a nice glow.

Last but not least there are the after tan moisturizers, also called tan extenders. There are special ones that are sold at tanning salons but better yet you can find them online at places like Amazon.com for a much cheaper price. I like Hempz, that is one of my personal favorite after tan moisturizing lotions. Any non mineral-oil based moisturizer will do, just make sure to apply it within fifteen minutes of getting out of the tanning bed.

Hemp Tanning Lotion

One well known type of  indoor tanning lotion, that is gaining in popularity is Hemp tanning lotion. More and more tanning lotions are using  hemp seed oil as one of their main ingredients. It is normal to wonder if hemp lotions actually have any real benefit or if they are just a fad. The answer is hemp oil is a very important ingredient for tanning lotions, maybe one of the most  important.

Hemp seed oil is a very important factor in indoor tanning lotion because it is a type of humectant. A humectant is a type of non-oily substance that attracts moisture from the air and holds in water or moisture. In other words it, when applied to the skin, will draw moisture from the air and hydrate the skin. The fact that hemp oil hydrates the skin is fantastic because the tanning beds ultra violet  lights are known to be very dehydrating on the skin.

Also, hemp lotions have a high concentration of essential fatty acids which are known to increase absorption of moisture in the skins lipid layers. This will reduce the normal damage caused by tanning, such as your skin drying out.   Which is also why I cannot stress enough that it is very important to use a good moisturizer before and especially after tanning. You can even find an after tan moisturizer with some sort of hemp in it, which will double the benefit effects.

Not only does tanning lotions made with hemp oil, hydrate the skin and lock in the moisture, it also can amplify the tan,  making your tan look darker and more natural. This is because the natural oils of hemp can cause an intensification of the UV rays that penetrate your skin. Also, tanning lotions with hemp have a lot more essential nutrients not found in regular lotions, which will help keep the skin healthy and aid in its overall development.

Overall any type of indoor tanning lotion containing hemp seed oil is going to be a great choice. It helps to give you that deep, dark, beautiful tan. While at the same time it is going to help aid in fighting the negative affects of indoor tanning in a tanning bed. I hope this helps in choosing the right tanning lotion.

Indoor Tanning Lotions

You may see some very catchy names that make you want to grab a bottle of lotion and start lathering up but before you get inspired by a clever marketing team, get to know the product inside the fancy bottle.First know your level of endurance. Are you an experienced tanner, or stuck in a rut and just can’t get that beautiful color you desire or have you yet to begin your tanning experience.

The best advise can be to read the label. Many will say right on it that it is intended for experienced tanners and you would certainly know if you are or are not. For those who are new at this, you should know that tanning beds can be intense and the lotions are made to enhance the experience and get you as dark as possible. Indoor tanning lotions can do a number of different things depending on the ingredients in the bottle. Some tanning lotions only moisturize the skin. Other lotions help to develop the tan you are getting from the tanning bed. Bronzers actually add a bronze color to your skin, but looks very natural.

Some people are confused about the difference between indoor tanning lotions and sunless tanning lotions. Sunless tanning lotions were not meant for use in an indoor tanning bed, but only to use alone. You can use a sunless tanning lotion in addition to tanning, you just have to use a different tanning lotion when you tan. Be sure to ask the tanning salon attendant about which product to use before getting into a tanning bed.

Some are made with “sizzle” or tingle factor, which will cause a reddening of the skin that can last from one to several hours, depending on your skin and experience. Sizzle formulas are not intended for the face. Some are made specifically for the face like California Tan’s new CT Seven Face. Some are made just for your legs. Other lotions are made for all over with a cooling agent that may make the experience more comfortable since it does get hot in the tanning bed. Hopefully you are also following your tanning session with a good moisturizer as well. This will make your tan last longer.

The latest CT Seven Bronzer Maximizer Step2 is said to be the best you can get. Whether you are maintaining a fabulous tan or are getting a great base before the summer, California Tan knows tanning and stays consistently at the top of the market. Designer Skin products are also top notch and I recommend them as well. For those of you who are new at this, take it slow. Tans look best when achieved gradually, by starting with just a few minutes to prime your skin. Use a quality lotion and be sure to moisturize afterward. Understand that 5 minutes can make a difference to skin that never experienced the intensity of a tanning bed before.

If tanning bronzers are applied properly the benefits are endless. If you want to quickly get a dark tan or darken your existing tan then bronzers are great for you. Bronzers will give you a nice natural tan without having to spend as much time in the sun or under those UV lights. This can be very beneficial to the long term health of your skin. As it is know that extensive exposure to UV rays can increase your chances of cancer.

A lot more indoor tanning lotions are using hemp seed oil as one of there main ingredients. Hemp oil is very important because it is a type of humectants. Humectants are a type of non-oily substance that attracts moisture from the air, and holds in water or moisture. In other words it, when applied to the skin it will draw moisture from the air and hydrate the skin.

Make sure that you stay with quality manufacturers (California Tan, Designer Skin, Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty to name a few). Tanning is an investment in yourself. You’ll attract attention with your gorgeous tan and if you work in the public eye, it could even help your career. It may take a few extra minutes and even cost a few extra bucks but honestly, you’re worth it!
