Pre-applying your tanning lotion is one of the best tips that you can get in terms of getting the most out of your indoor tanning experience. While many people tend to run in to the salon with their bottle of lotion in hand it is a much better idea to apply your tanning lotion before you come in for your tanning session. Applying your lotion before you tan will give your skin plenty of time to absorb the lotion and it will also allow you plenty of time to ensure that you get even coverage from your lotion as needed.

For the maintenance, once you have built your base tan, you should continue tanning about two times every week. With this, you will not sunburn but keep the beautiful golden tan that you worked so hard to achieve. Then for alternations, to keep your tan looking absolutely wonderful, switch between a low intensity and high intensity bed.

What is a tingle?A tingle lotion helps increase blood circulation, thus improving the oxygenation of your skin cells. The increased level of oxygen helps accelerate your tan. Using a tingle lotion will make your skin temporarily red and blotchy and make you feel a hot, tingling sensation that will usually subside after an hour or so. Your skin needs oxygen to tan so the more oxygen your skin gets, the darker you will get! We recommend that only experienced tanners use tingle lotions.
