Lotion Facts

Using a good Indoor Tanning Lotion has been proven to give you from 25 to 35% better results than tanning dry or with moisturizers. The human bodies skin covering contains approximately 5 million Melanocyte Cells. These cells use an amino acid known as Tyrosine to produce Melanin. The Melanin when exposed to UVA Light, oxidizes and produces the tan everyone desires. Consider these facts when choosing your tanning lotion: When purchasing a Indoor Tanning Lotion, it is important to find a lotion that lists (Tyrosine) in the upper portion of the ingredient list. The higher in the list Tyrosine appears, the more the lotion contains. Remember Tyrosine is the ONLY amino acid your body uses to produce Melanin. Other key ingredients to look for are vitamins A, B, E, F, Collagen, Elastin, and Natural Oils. Using a good tanning lotion will also extend the life of your tan. Avoid these ingredients when buying a tanning lotion: Alcohol, Niacin, Nicotate ( Alcohol dries the skin niacin, and nicotate irritate the skin) Most tanning lotions sold in variety stores, discount stores and drug stores are water based and cheaply made and usually contain drying agent and alcohol.
