By Haywood Hunter


Most people do not know where to begin when selecting indoor tanning lotions. They worry about the side effects that such tan accelerators might have on their skins. They are definitely justified in their concerns, since peoples skins and bodies react differently to various tanning lotions. The tingle that one experiences after applying some tanning lotions is another aspect affecting different people in various ways. A variety of chemicals are added to the indoor tanning lotions in order to produce these tingles. This begs the questions such as which ingredients are contained in the lotions, and what makes them tingle.

Some of the most commonly used ingredients in making indoor tanning lotions are those that moisturize and those that tan. To facilitate the changing of the skin color, various chemicals are used so as to stimulate the skin into producing more melanin that in turn causes the skin color to change. One of these chemicals is L-Tyrosine.

Most of the times, melanin in its real form is included when manufacturing the lotions, especially when making indoor tanning lotions that are not supposed to cause tingles. DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is sometimes added in the manufacture to help in getting an instant tan effect. Copper in various forms is also incorporated to ensure there is a bronzing effect.

In order to preserve the skin and also boost its moisture retention, other ingredients are also incorporated in lotions. The ingredients vary from one lotion to another, with some applying tea tree oil, walnut oil and hempseed oil, while other indoor tanning lotions use cooling additives like menthol.

Lotion tingle as a tan accelerator is generally safe to use, especially when used in accordance with the instructions. The tingle results from the active ingredients that actually stimulate the production of melanin by the skin. Different lotion users react in different manners to such ingredients, but in most cases there are no adverse effects.

All in all, there are no guarantees that a user will not have an allergic reaction to these indoor tanning lotions . It is therefore advisable to carefully test indoor tanning lotions on a small part of the skin prior to applying it all over the body.

The aim of indoor tanning lotions is to provide a user with a tanned appearance without them having to bask in sun radiation. It is however apparent that a majority of users have no idea how the lotions give the skin its synthetic bronze. The most commonly applied ingredient in making these lotions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) mentioned before. This is a color additive that darkens the skin by reacting with the present amino acids within the skin surface. Their use should be discontinued in case the user experiences unpleasant side effects such as allergic reactions or rashes.

Some indoor tanning lotions may have particular oils that assist the users skin absorb ultraviolet rays. This fast tracks the process of tanning, through causing the body to produce melanin, the tincture that is responsible for tanning the skin. Unfortunately, not all the lotion types are safe and users should be careful when choosing them.

People who spend certain amounts of time exposed to sun rays should consider applying indoor tanning lotions capable of protecting them from harmful ultra violet rays instead of those that absorb the rays.
