Using a tanning cream or lotion while sunbed tanning is essential for achieving the best results and protecting your skin.
The Sunbed Association in England highlights the importance of using specially designed tanning creams to enhance your tanning experience, maintain skin health, and achieve a longer-lasting tan.
1. Skin Hydration
One of the key reasons to use tanning creams is to keep your skin well-hydrated. UV exposure from sunbeds can cause the skin to lose moisture, leading to dryness and peeling. Tanning creams are formulated with moisturizers that keep the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated during your session, helping you achieve a more even, streak-free tan.
2. Accelerated Tanning Results
Tanning creams often contain special ingredients that stimulate melanin production, the pigment responsible for darkening your skin. This means that by using a cream, you can see faster, deeper tanning results in fewer sessions. It enhances the effectiveness of the UV light, allowing you to spend less time under the sunbed while still achieving a beautiful glow.
3. Skin Protection
Some tanning creams include anti-aging ingredients and antioxidants that protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV exposure. They help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and prevent the breakdown of collagen, ensuring that your skin stays youthful and radiant.
