Tanning Bed Lotions: Perfecting Your Skin
When you're working on the perfect indoor tan, you'll need to purchase one of the good tanning bed lotions. Though this might surprise you, you can't just buy suntan lotion.
Suntan lotions are designed with a sun protection factor (SPF) that you don't need when you're using a tanning bed. Besides, suntan lotions will leave a residue on tanning beds, and over time, this residual can damage the bed.
The most important thing to look for in good lotions is moisturization. No matter where you tan, your skin will dry out. The more moisturizer you have protecting your skin, the better your tan results will be and the more you'll protect yourself from premature skin aging.
Indoor tan lotions should be applied prior to getting into the bed, as well as after your tanning session. For the best skin moisturizer, drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily in addition to using your lotion.
For the best results, use tanning bed lotions on every part of your body that will be exposed to light during your tanning session. Pay particular attention to the areas that tend to dry out, and to places that aren't used to tanning. If you tan nude, you should ensure that you have a good coat applied to your breasts. Anywhere you have a tattoo should also get close attention, and the front of your neck and face should have tanning lotion applied before and after tanning. This lotion should be left on for at least two hours, then wash thoroughly and apply a moisturizer designed for your skin type.
