the Importance of Tanning Lotion

Did you know that using a lotion for indoor tanning is extremely important?! Here are 5 reason why you should always apply tanning lotion before your appointment at Sun in the City:

1. Tanning Lotion will Moisturize Your Skin: Tanning can dry out your skin, so using a tanning lotion will replace the moisture your skin loses. Keeping your skin moisturized after indoor tannin will also enhance your glow!
2. Tan Faster: Tanning lotions help your skin absorb UV rays, speeding up the tanning process. You should look for a tanning lotion containing tyrosine as this ingredient stimulates the production of melanin, allowing you to tan faster.
3. Cool Down: Tanning beds can get a little warm during your session, combat this with a tanning lotion that offers a slight cooling effect.
4. Slows Aging: Look for lotions with skin-firming compounds and vitamins that will make your skin look younger.
5. Prevent Your Skin From Burns: Some indoor tanning lotions can help prevent burning, peeling, and uneven tanning. They also help you tan faster, thus making you spend less time in the tanning bed and reducing your chance of burning.

Make sure to apply your tanning lotion 1-2 hours before your appointment for the best results. At Sun in the City we offer a wide variety of tanning products for purchase. Need help with finding the best product for you? No problem, speak with one of our knowledgeable associates!
