You may wonder why you need tanning supplies such as an indoor tanning lotion or sunless tanning products.
Long-term sun exposure and sunburn destroys important skin cells involved in the immune system and increases your chances of getting cancer. Using tanning lotions and Sunless Tanning Products help you achieve a deep, healthy tan, while minimizing or preventing the harmful effects from the sun.

We, at Solar Escape Tanning, believe you should know why tanning supplies are beneficial to a healthy tan. Many people doubt that tanning lotions are beneficial; some think that it is just a way for the suntan lotion suppliers to make money. As you will see, this is not true. We believe that by providing you with this information, you will see that the extra money spent on suntan and sunless tanning products will significantly benefit you by saving tanning bed Session dollars, promoting longer lasting tans, and producing healthy and younger looking skin.
The following information will provide you with some insight into how and why you should use a high quality indoor tanning lotion, skincare tanning lotion, or sunless tanning product when tanning.

MAGNIFICATION:
Our premium tanning lotions and sunless tanning products provide a refractive prism of aloe vera gel and natural oils such as hemp seed oil, sunflower oil, and aromatherapy essential oils. This refractive prism magnifies the ultraviolet light reaching your skin, and therefore intensifies your tan! People that do not use tanning products will receive fewer results from the same tanning time…

MOISTURIZATION:
Healthy skin is the foundation of a successful dark tan. Outdoor and indoor tanning products are designed to provide critical moisture to skin before and after tanning. The healthier your skin, the longer you keep the tan; this allows you to build upon your foundation tan to get a deeper, darker tan.
Dry skin flakes peel away your tan layer by layer. Our premium tanning lotions and sunless tanning products provide you with the deep, constant moisture your skin needs during the tanning process Our indoor and suntan lotions have aloe vera, natural oils, minerals, natural botanical extracts, anti-oxidants, as well as other important vitamins and ingredients to help you extend your hard earned tan. People who avoid using tanning products will not get the extra moisture or a stable tan since tanning tends to dry the skin; they will lose their tan more quickly between sessions, due to dry skin flaking away.

SKIN CONDITIONING:
Premium tanning products are formulated to provide your skin with additional levels of key tanning ingredients that assist the tanning process, whether you bask in the sun or in a tanning bed. Skin conditioning ingredients include Natural Butters, L-Tyrosine, Liposomial Tyrosine Complexes, Essential Oils, Vitamins, Natural Botanical Extracts, Riboflavin, Hemp Seed Oil, Copper, and other minerals as well as other critical ingredients intended to increase the effectiveness of your tanning time. Indoor tanning lotions and other tanning products contain skin conditioning ingredients that benefit your tanning time in a variety of ways such as maintaining the moisture and magnifying the tanning intensity.

TINGLE POWER, ADD HEAT TO GET A DEEPER TAN:
Premium tanning products can be formulated with TINGLE to aid in the process of tanning. Tingle tanning lotions and sprays contain high concentrations of natural vitamins and botanical oils that stimulate the skin’s microcirculation by bringing blood closer to the surface of the skin. By stimulating the skin with Tingle, the blood along with melanin is forced to the surface. This can aid in the tanning process and may get you through your tanning plateau. It is best to start with lower levels of Tingle in your tanning supplies. As you progress, working up to higher levels of Tingle tanning power, it is recommended that you start using tanning lotions with a low Tingle power so your body becomes accustomed to the stimulation. As your body adjusts over several tanning sessions, you may gradually work to higher levels.

How to Get Your Best Tan Using Tanning Supplies and Sunless Tanning Products!

Why Should Tanners Use A Tanning Product?
Self-tanning products such as an indoor tanning lotion or other sunless tanning products help you achieve a better tan from your tanning session! Lotions protect the moisture levels in your skin, allow the pores to open, magnify your UV exposure for maximum light absorption, and help you achieve a deeper long-lasting tan. Some tanners who are already very dark can break through their tanning plateau by using a high quality lotion.

Why do You Get Better Results When Using a Tanning Lotion?
When you tan using sunless tanning products, indoor tanning lotion, or tanning supplies, you are controlling the tanning process through Magnification, Moisturizing, and Skin Conditioning. When you can control light exposure, skin moisture, and your general skin health, your tan will look better and last longer.

Do You Need to Use a Tanning Product to Get Great Tanning Results from a Tanning Bed Session?
You do not need to use a tanning product to get a great result from a tanning bed session, but the benefits from Magnification, Moisturizing, and Skin Conditioning defray the added cost of frequent tanning bed sessions by maintaining your tan longer. Inside a tanning bed, you receive a very intense dose of UV exposure — in fact, one tanning session is usually comparable to one day's recommended exposure from sunlight. When you are absorbing that much UV light in such a short time, it is very, very important to protect your skin from drying by using a good moisturizer and conditioner — the exact type that is found in indoor tanning lotions.

How Much Tanning Product Should I Use Before Tanning?
Each person has different tanning lotion needs, which will vary according to size, the fairness of your skin, and your sensitivities to the sun. The key to tanning success is to coat your skin with a thick layer of tanning product that Moisturizes, Magnifies, and Conditions the skin before your tanning time. Applying greater amounts of tanning product increases the moisture in your skin.

Some Tanning Lotions Are Thick and Do Not Rub In Quickly:
What Should I Do?
The more moisturizing compounds a tanning product has, the thicker it will be. Do not worry if the tanning lotion is not rubbed in completely. Within a few moments, the heat from the tanning bed will cause the sunless tanning lotion to liquefy and absorb into your skin, providing additional Moisture, Magnification, and Skin Conditioning ingredients to your skin during your tanning time.

When Should I Apply Tanning Lotion?
Most tanners apply their tanning lotions immediately before tanning for the best magnification properties. Magnification occurs when the tanning product diffuses the UV light, helping it penetrate a wider area of skin. This is similar to tanning near or in a swimming pool. Swimming pools are an excellent example of magnification. If you can not apply the lotion immediately before tanning, then apply it as soon as you can to optimize the benefits from you tanning session.

Is There Anything I can do Between Tanning Sessions to Get Better Results in Addition to Using the Traditional Tanning Supplies?
Absolutely! “After Exposure Tanning Products” were created because experts believe your skin continues to "tan" for up to 48 hours after your last tanning session. Your body is still "metabolizing" the UV light long after your session has ended. By using an After Exposure Tanning Product as often as possible, but especially after your shower and before bed, your skin will be Moist and optimally Conditioned between tanning sessions.
