More About The Particular Make-Up Of Tanning Bed Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


People who wish to have healthy-looking tan skin year round are taking advantage of tanning beds. This allows them to forgo the pale 'winter' look and exhibit the appearance of time spent in the sun. These beds are found in spas and other locations and use special tanning bed lotions to insure an all-over sun-kissed look.

The beautiful result is produced by means of ultraviolet radiation (UVA), also found in rays from the sun. Fluorescent lamps produce this radiation. Protective shields made of acrylics are located in the beds. Outdoor suntan creams cannot be used, as they would cause damage to these shields.

The Federal Food and Drug Administration regulates these beds. They require eye protection, warning labels, and lamp compliance. There are also a number of states that have laws requiring things such as special training for the operators, sterilization of the beds, and other regulations.

Special preparations for this process vary from one brand to another. Some brands contain 'tingle', which is an ingredient that pulls blood to the skin's surface. This allows the body to tan more quickly. These products should not be confused with those purchased at a regular store for use outdoors.

Some lotions also contain what is called bronzer, also identified as DHA. This liquid is a chemical which comes from glycerin and speeds up the process by interacting with the amino acids found in the skin. 'Hot Bronzers' induce tingling, while 'Cool Bronzers' contain menthol.

Tanning bed lotions can differ according to the brand used. Ingredients listed may be things such as L-Tyrosine, copper, green tree extract, normal oils, melanin, tea oil, and other products. Regular use of the machine can cause the skin to become very dry. As a result, the majority of the brands used contain a moisturizing ingredient such as hempseed oil.
