More About The Particular Composition Of Tanning Bed Lotions For Great Tans

By Haywood Hunter


Having nicely tanned skin presents a picture of a healthy person who spends a great deal of time outside. In order to achieve this look year round, many people take advantage of tanning booths. These are found in spas, beauty salons, and other locations in almost every city. To insure a smooth, even tan special tanning bed lotions are used.

The beautiful result is produced by means of ultraviolet radiation (UVA), also found in rays from the sun. Fluorescent lamps produce this radiation. Protective shields made of acrylics are located in the beds. Outdoor suntan creams cannot be used, as they would cause damage to these shields.

The Federal Food and Drug Administration that regulates these beds, requires warning labels, eye protection, and lamp compliance when in use. Many states also have laws in place regulating the operation of these devices. This would include things such as training operators, sterilization of the beds, additional labels, and so forth.

The lotion used in this process is not the same as the lotion purchased at the corner drug store. There are ingredients in these special products that speed up the bronzing process. Some of the brands cause a 'tingling' in the skin. This brings the blood to the surface and increases the amount of tan obtained.

A popular addition to these special brands are bronzers, also known as DHA. This is a liquid chemical coming from glycerin which interacts with the skin's amino acid, causing it to brown and speeding up the process. There are 'Cool Bronzers", which contain menthol and 'Hot Bronzers" which contain tingle.

Tanning bed lotions can differ according to the brand used. Ingredients listed may be things such as L-Tyrosine, copper, green tree extract, normal oils, melanin, tea oil, and other products. Regular use of the machine can cause the skin to become very dry. As a result, the majority of the brands used contain a moisturizing ingredient such as hempseed oil.
