Defining Different Location Types

Types of Lotions
Maximizer – Helps to boost the natural tanning process by increasing Melanin production in the skin. Formulas include a variety of proprietary blends including Tantalize, Hyperdark and Colorburst Technology which contain Tyrosine and natural tan enhancers to help achieve darker color. Maximizers are perfect for beginner tanners or tanners who are wanting to achieve natural looking color without the use of Bronzers.

Natural Bronzer – Enhances the skin’s natural tanning process by utilizing natural bronzing ingredients (without DHA) that even out skin tone and add streak free color. Natural bronzers incorporate ingredients like Caramel, Henna and Black Walnut Shell Extract. Ideal for beginners or anyone avoiding DHA.

Bronzer – Uses DHA and natural bronzers for a richer, longer-lasting tan that continues to develop after UV exposure. Best for those with a base tan or darker complexions. Apply to exfoliated skin and wash hands after use to prevent staining.
Tingle/Hot – Intensifies tanning by stimulating microcirculation, causing redness and a tingling sensation. Recommended for experienced tanners only. Do not use on the face or sensitive skin. Test first, and avoid contact with children afterward.

Cooling – Produces a cooling effect that offsets the heat during tanning. Avoid eyes or sensitive areas after applying.

Self Tanner – Delivers a golden glow without UV exposure using DHA and Erythrulose. Color develops in 3–4 hours and lasts several days. Ideal for maintaining a tan between visits or for instant color.
 

Why Use a Lotion

The use of lotions is an absolute necessity when tanning indoors. There are many benefits to using a lotion which plays a vital role in the outcome of your tanning result. Using a lotion while tanning helps keep the skin moisturized which leads to better magnification for maximum tanning results. Without the use of lotion, skin is dry and deflects UV light. Moisturized skin will absorb the UV light, helping to influence the tanning process for a faster, deeper, darker tan.

Faster, Deeper, Darker Tanning Results!

In addition, many lotions contain intensifying, maximizing and bronzing ingredients, which also help amplify your tanning results. Boost Your Bronze! Magnify Your Melanin! Stimulate Your Skin! The other advantage of using an indoor tanning lotion is skin care. Tanning lotions contain many Vitamins and Nutrients, along with emollients, hydrators, moisturizers, and humectants. Your tanning lotion may even contain Age Defying and firming ingredients as well as offer other skin care benefits. These ingredients are essential not only in promoting healthier looking skin, but also to help replenish moisture loss during the tanning process.
