For some people, having a tan is not only fun but also improves their confidence because they feel better about themselves in their skin. It’s no wonder then that tanning salons are extremely popular. Unfortunately, tanning can be dangerous, not to mention expensive, so it’s important to make sure that you know what tanning products and supplies to use at tanning salons.
Skin Products
With all of the different kinds of tanning products on the market today, you will need to know which ones apply to your particular skin type and your needs before you buy or use them. Many tanning lotions are exfoliating, and they can help remove dead skin cells from your face before your tanning session. However, using exfoliating products may cause your skin to become very dry, so it is important to choose the right one for your skin type and use it in conjunction with a good quality tanning face moisturiser.
An exfoliating lotion is not only for people who want to have a more beautiful tan. It can also be used to hydrate your body skin. Your skin hydrated by a tanning lotion can also help protect you against the sun’s harmful UV rays, making you feel more comfortable while tanning. In addition, your hydrated body skin can also prevent sunburn when you tan outside in the summer. After your tanning session, you will have soft, smooth, glowing, and exfoliated body skin that looks as natural as the skin you first brought home from the pool.
Self-tanners are a great alternative to tanning lotions, and they do not damage your skin in the process. When you tan with a self-tanner, you simply apply it to your skin and then tan your body in the same way as you would with a tanning lotion. However, since self-tanning products can be more potent than self-tanners, you should always dilute them with water before you use them. You can do this by mixing one part of water with three parts tanning solution or cream. If you want an even darker tan, you can mix more tanning solution or cream with the water.
Alternative Options
A lotion is a less invasive tanning option, but you still need to apply it. The best products give your skin moisture as well as nourish the skin cells around the tanning area. The best products for tanning will contain ingredients such as retinol A or beta hydroxy acid, which are formulated to exfoliate dead skin cells so that new skin cells can grow in their place. These tanning products also usually contain ingredients such as acetic acid or L-carnitine. These nutrients not only help moisturize your skin but also stimulate collagen production, making your skin appear younger and healthier.
The other option for a tanning lotion is to purchase a self-tanner that comes in the form of a bottle or pump. Some popular brands include L’Oreal Paris and Voluspa. A bottle self-tanner is more convenient than a pump because you can bottle up enough product to give yourself an entire tan in a single application. However, if you want to have colour for several days or even weeks, a pump is recommended. This is because, with a bottle of tanning lotion, it is impossible to keep the colour overnight.
Another important difference between the two is the moisturizer. Many lotions and moisturizers are enriched with natural oils to increase the depth of your tan. A self-tanning mousse formula makes use of Vaseline. This kind of product has been banned in some places due to the contamination that it leaves behind. This kind of mousse formula makes use of natural oils such as olive oil, which can be absorbed by your skin much easier than other moisturizers.
While it may be true that all self-tanning products include some type of exfoliant, you have to choose the right one. There are products with mild exfoliating properties that will work on mild to moderate tanning problems. More aggressive products are best reserved for those with extremely deep blemishes that cannot be treated with exfoliates.
