I always get a lot of the same questions over and over again, so I have decided to throw together a few questions and answers to make a tanning lotion F.A.Q.
What tanning lotion can make you tan in minutes?
I would say the only type of tanning lotion that has the ability to make you tan in minutes would be a bronzer. Bronzers can do this because they have something in them called DHA, which actually dyes your skin, much like a sunless tanner does but in a much, more natural way. In other words, you can't even tell that that's what it's doing, no streaks or anything like that. Just a super bronze, natural looking tan.
Can you use a bronzer tanning lotion on your face?
Well, it is not advised to do so but I, myself do it. I always make sure that I have a lot of experience with my bronzer before I put it on my face. For example, I will use it a few times before I ever think of putting it on my face. Like I said though, it is usually not advised to do so. They actually make special tanning lotions designed specially for your face. Those would probably always be the better choice but I know that everyone doesn't have the luxury of being able to get a special tanning lotion just for their face. I think that using a bronzer on your face is perfectly fine, as long as you know what it does to your skin.
If you don't have tanning lotion should you just use regular lotion?
Yes, any lotion is better than absolutely nothing. Although I do not advise this. Tanning lotions are all special, very carefully made concoctions that really do increase the amount and the quality of your tan, an enormous extent. So I would say if you absolutely don't have anything at all, then yes use a regular lotion. If money is the reason that you don't have any tanning lotion then the next best thing would be to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a bottle of indoor tanning lotion for around $5. That would be even better than regular lotion but about the same price.
If I want a dark tan, what kind of lotion do I use?
This is tricky because it all depends on your skin type and whether or not you already have a base tan. If you don't have a base tan, I would say start out with a bronzer and then after you acquire a base tan you can use a tingle product along with your bronzer, or find a lotion that has both in it. Now, if you are light skinned, I would say definitely a bronzer is your best friend, especially when you first start tanning. After awhile you can try a bit of a tingler but I would test it on a small portion of skin and if you are severely fair complected with red hair or freckles, you may want to stay away from tinglers all together.
Tanning lotion for pale people?
I guess I kind of answered that in the question above. Like I said bronzers are great for very fair complexions. Myself being a very pale skinned person, I know what it is like. My skin tends to get a reddish color instead of a deep brown. That is why bronzers are so good for us because they have that bronzing agent in them. On top of that I like to use a regular lotion, after tanning, that has a little bit of a sunless tanner in it. A good example of this is Jergens Natural Glow. It works great to give you that little extra bronze and you can put it in trouble areas that don't tan as well, to make that part of the skin blend in with the darker skin. You also get the moisturizing, which is a must for a good tan. If you don't have moisturized skin, you probably aren't going to get a nice brown tan. So moisturize as much as possible.
Is it okay to use normal tanning lotion on your face?
Tinglers, no, never use them on your face. For everything else, I would say yes, just make sure you have experience with the tanning lotion before you go putting it on your face. Go back and read question 2 for more on this.
Why can't you use outdoor tanning lotion in tanning beds?
you can't use outdoor lotions in tanning beds because the ingredients are hard on the acrylic in the bed. Indoor tanning lotions can be used outdoors though and do work very well.
Are tanning lotions just moisturizer?
No!!! There are many differences and tanning lotion is definitely worth it to buy, believe me!
