Do You Know How Tanning Lotion Works

November 15, 2009 by Will Edison 

There are many types of tanning lotions for both indoor and outdoor tanning. Outdoor tanning lotions should not be used indoors in tanning beds and indoor tanning lotions will say on the label whether or not they are can be used for outdoor tanning. Then there are alternatives to tanning which basically provide a person with an instant fake tan.

Initially, tanning lotions were designed to accelerate the tanning process by intensifying the effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Some lotions use mineral oils and other active ingredients to help the skin produce melanin at a faster rate.

In addition to all those chemicals, probably the most effective ingredient in tanning lotion is the moisturizer integrated into the formula. Radiation from sun light or emitted by tanning beds causes the skin to dry out. The moisturizing factor of the lotion helps keep the skin moist which also enhances its ability to produce melanin.

Beyond tanning for the purpose of producing coloration in the skin many regulars enjoy the calming effect of their tanning sessions. For some people the relaxation, not darkening their skin, is their primary purpose for tanning. This is one reason why tanning can easily become addicting. What is important is for the person to know when enough is enough.

Most new formulas of tanning lotions also include a scent. From flowery fragrances to scents based on the principles of aromatherapy, tanners can enjoy their tanning sessions even more.

Tanning has its benefits despite the risks that exposure to UV rays pose. In moderate it is actually healthy for the body to get a little sun light. It is just a matter of picking the best tanning lotion for the individual's taste.
