What About Lotions?

Indoor tanning lotions are very different from outdoor lotions. They contain no SPF, as tanning equipment pre-filters the UV to be significantly less intense than true sunshine.

Indoor lotions should not be used outdoors without additional use of an SPF product. Outdoor lotions should not be used indoors as they will prevent you from tanning and they often contain oils that are harmful to our equipment.

Our friendly staff can help determine which is the best product for your skin type and tanning methods. Please keep in mind that different lotions meet different needs and you may find it best to use more than one lotion throughout your tanning sessions.

  • Look for a lotion that has a moisturizer as moist skin tans faster and easier and is defended against the dehydrating effects of UV.

  • An accelerator is a combination of amino acids and minerals tht the body uses to create a tan.  When applied directly to the skin, melocites can easily draw upon these ingredients to assist in the tanning process, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of the body's natural ability to tan.

  • An amplifier assists the melocites in accepting UV which in turn greatly improves penetration and helps you boost your tan to the next level.

  • Skin stimulants or tingle products, dilate the capillaries and bring blood to the surface of the skin-like a blush. This increases both the speed and the darkness of your tan.
