Hello!
Tanning bed lotion is best to apply one hour before and immediately after tanning session. This way you accelerate tanning process and as well protect your skin.
You accelerate tanning process because tanning bed lotions contain tyrosine, which is amino acid that stimulates production of melanin (skin pigment)- this way tanning process is accelerated.
As said above, tyrosine is main ingredient, which causes tanning. Among other ingredients vitamin E is very ‘popular’ which is very powerful antioxidant, and as well as tyrosine works to prevent wrinkles and other fine lines. Copper is also found in tanning bed lotions. Most powerful effect of copper is reducing visibility of blemishes and scars. Then, there are moisturing elements, such as aloe vera or other nutrients to guard your skin. Well, here tanning bed lotions start to differentiate… scents, color, … and thus different ingredients.
Take care, Shannon |
