FAQs About Tanning Lotions
Do I Need Lotion for a Tanning Bed?
Yes, we highly recommend UV-specific tanning lotions when using our sunbeds. Dry skin can reflect UV rays, diminishing your tanning potential, whereas moisturised skin tans more evenly. In fact, according to Australian Gold, using a lotion can boost your tanning results by up to 50%!
Our tanning lotions are enriched with natural ingredients that nourish your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated for optimal results. Some also include extra tanning enhancers such as bronzers, DHA, and tan-intensifying ingredients.
How Does Tanning Lotion Work?
How a tanning lotion works depends on the type of lotion you choose.
- DHA bronzers react with amino acids in the dead cells on the skin’s surface, causing them to darken.
- Natural bronzers include plant-based extracts that instantly colour the skin, washing away with water.
- Tan accelerators encourage blood flow to the skin, allowing it to absorb more UV rays.
- Tan maximisers or intensifiers accelerate melanin production, enabling a faster and deeper tan.
- Tan extenders keep skin hydrated and prevent skin from shedding, prolonging your tan.
What is the Best Sunbed Cream?
The best tanning lotion for you depends on your desired goals. If you want to see results fast, opt for any of the Australian Gold or Vital Accelerators. Or, if you’re all about that instant glow, opt for a lotion with natural bronzers like the Australian Gold Hot! Black bronzer. Want an added boost of colour that will develop over time? Grab a bottle of DHA bronzer for a deeper, darker, longer-lasting glow.
One thing you can be sure of is that, with our exemplary range of products by industry-loved, Australian Gold and Vital, whichever lotion you choose promises the best results!
Can You Use Any Lotion on a Tanning Bed?
You should only use UV-specific tanning lotions on sunbeds as some lotion ingredients are unsuitable for tanning and can damage bed acrylics. To protect our equipment, we only supply lotions made specifically for sunbed use, and do not allow tingle creams, oils, 2bTanned, or Shine Brown products.
Can You Use Sunbed Cream in the Sun?
While sunbed creams can enhance the effectiveness of artificial UV tanning, we do not recommend using them when sunbathing outdoors as most do not contain SPF. Always refer to the individual product labels for usage directions, particularly when spending time in natural sun. If you have any queries about using our lotions, please speak to a tanning consultant at your local salon.
What are the Best Skincare Products to use with Red Light Therapy?
To maximise your red light therapy sessions, you can use gentle, moisturising skincare products. At The Tanning Shop Ireland, we stock the specialist Red Light-ST range, which was created to prepare skin for red light exposure and keep it healthy, hydrated, and radiant between treatments.
