Another main type of indoor tanning lotion is tingling lotion. Just as it sounds, tingling lotions allow the users to experience sensations that are often equated with feeling the actual tanning process take place. This is often the case when people get done tanning saying they can still feel their skin aglow. While these tanning solutions do often feel good, they may increase the effects of the radiation on the skin. This may deepen the tan, but it also allows for quicker burning. You must be cautious when using any of these types of indoor tanning products.

The most important factor to choosing the correct but also best indoor tanning lotion for your skin. Tanning lotion should protect your skin for harmful UV rays that lead to skin cancer and premature aging. Above all other functions of tanning lotions, this should be the one most focused on when choosing between products. The main purpose is to keep the skin hydrated and also moisturized. Dry skin becomes damaged especially under UV light in a tanning bed. Most people tend to think ten minutes in a tanning bed will not do their skin harm and they are simply uneducated in their knowledge or lack thereof. A tanning bed is more damaging in the fact that the UV light is so close and intense a compared to sun light.

Choose a tanning lotion that is high in SPF protection, and then look for the other functions you would like your tanning lotion to perform. If you feel that the SPF is too high, and you are not getting a dark enough tan, then slowly adjust back on the SPF until you reach the optimal ratio of tan color to protection.
