Over the past several weeks, we've spent quite a bit of time discussing your skin’s need for moisturization. As you know, your skin requires a certain amount of moisture to thrive and reproduce on a cellular level. However, moisture alone is not the only factor that will have a dramatic impact on your skin's response to tanning.
If you're in the market for a high-quality tanning product, there are a few rules you should follow before your purchase. First of all, it's important to remember that not all tanning oils are created equally. In fact, some tanning oils are so inferior that their ingredients are nothing more than baby oil that's been scented with coconuts or other tropical smells. High-quality tanning lotions will also contain a skin protectant to prevent burning.
While we understand your objective for purchase containing lotion is to in fact to get tan, it's also important that you avoid burning. If your skin is subject to a sunburn (or tanning booth burn), the chances of peeling increase dramatically. As such, it's a good idea to utilize a tanning lotion that contains a mild skin protectant in order to avoid an initial burn.
Another great way to avoid burning is to ensure that you get a solid base tan very slowly. For example, getting a solid base tan spending a few minutes at a time for the first couple weeks of the tanning process will help ensure that you don't get sunburn and subsequent peeling. We recommend that you tan only a few minutes at a time for the first week to two weeks.
However, even if you're planning to use the base tan process, it’s important that you use as tanning lotion that contains a skin protectant to prevent burning. Many quality tanning lotions offer an SPF as low as 4. This low level allows for adequate tanning, but will also prevent burning.
We also recommend that you seek out only high-quality tanning lotions, check your ingredient labels and your manufacturers. Once again, not all tanning products are created equally. To avoid getting ripped off, do your homework and a little research.

Tanning Lotion How To
Time and time again, we've discussed the benefits of tanning. We've also discussed the benefits of using high-quality tanning lotion during your tanning process. However, many people still have questions asked to the application process involved when using a high-quality tanning lotion. If you're interested in learning the proper techniques for the application of your tanning lotion, read on for more information.
The first step in utilizing a tanning lotion properly is selecting the best tanning lotion for you. Depending upon your goals when tanning, the selection of your tanning lotions will vary. For example, some people elect to use tanning lotions and have a higher UV protectant than do others. Once you have selected to your tanning lotion of choice, it's time to begin the physical preparations.
Before applying lotion, you should exfoliate your skin thoroughly. Removing the dead skin cells that later the top of your skin will allow lotion to be spread and absorbed evenly. Be sure to concentrate on the areas where dry skin is prevalent. Like the needs, the elbows, and the ankles or heels.
You should first begin to apply your tanning lotion on a small area. Most people began at the ankles and work in circular motions of each leg and then onto the abdomen and so forth. Be sure and apply your lotion in circular motion, overlapping each swirl to ensure even coverage. It's also important that you not forget to apply lotion to the backs of your hands and feet, as well as your face, the back of your neck, and behind your ears. In other words, be sure and apply lotions in areas you normally wouldn't think of.
It's also important that you protect your lips during tanning. Some tanning lotions are designed for application over the lips. However, many people elect to use specialized UV protecting lip balm during tanning sessions.
Another good rule of thumb for tanning lotion is to apply liberally, but don't overdo. Your lotion should be fully absorbed into your skin and should not be left in streaks on the skin's surface. If you're applying too much lotion you'll note that the absorption time is longer or nonexistent.
Tanning can be an excellent way to promote your body's production of vitamin D, to both look and feel healthy and glowing, and to help combat depression and anxiety. However, it is important to note that the application of protective tanning lotion should be considered mandatory for all tanners.
