Before you step inside that tanning bed, you need to consider your skin. You may want that beautiful, sun-kissed look, but your skin needs a little protection before it obtains it artificially. You need to consider what professional tanning products will help you reach your goal. The owner, manager or assistant at the tanning salon can help lead you in the right direction. In this article, we can provide you with the basic that will help make such a conversation a little more enlightening.
It Starts with Lotions
When you decide to tan, you might think just a basic tanning lotion may do. These lotions do not contain any tinglers. They are not act as accelerators or work with your skin and the tanning bed to make your skin more bronze in appearance. These are the most basic of tanning products. They protect your skin – or, at least, the quality lotions do. You can remove them following a tanning session. Of all the types of professional products, these are usually the less expensive.
If you want to take a step beyond the basic or standard tanning lotion, you are opening your skin to a few newer sensations. The two major common types of professional tanning products, available are as follows:
1. Tingle Lotions: These react with your skin to produce a tingling sensation. This occurs during the actual tanning process. It may, however, endure afterwards as well. Tinglers help enhance the effect the UV rays, producing a deeper tan. People who have sensitive skin may want to avoid tinglers.
2. Bronzers: While tingle lotions may help you achieve that deeper tan, bronzers will – well, make your skin bronze in appearance. The tan an application of this type of lotion will produce is deep, dark and smooth (Providing you apply the lotion smoothly and evenly). Be sure to pay close attention to the instructions and follow them to the letter.
Bronzers go on some time before you enter a tanning bed and remain on for a specific time afterwards. Make sure you know the specifics about the type of bronzer you are applying. Be aware of the major two types of this form of accelerator lotion. Some are immediate in their effect. Other bronzers feature a delayed action.
Lotions are available for specific skin types. Many are maximizers and/or accelerators.
