One of the best ways to tan is in a tanning bed. And to maximize your tanning experience you should use quality tanning bed lotions that protect your skin and can help to accelerate the tanning process. These tanning bed lotions can be applied both before and after tanning since tanning actually continues for some time after each tanning bed session, especially when using the tanning bed lotion. Indoor tanning lotions typically contain tyrosine, an amino acid that helps the body to produce melanin. Melanin production is also stimulated by the UV rays emitted in a tanning bed; indoor tanning lotions can enhance this production.

Tyrosine also helps the body retain melanin longer by replenishing the amino acids and slowing down the exfoliation process. Lotions with tyrosine may also help to clean your pores since tyrosine has been shown to be an antioxidant, binding harmful free radical molecules together and allowing them to be ex foliated.

Many indoor tanning lotions also contain Vitamin E, which also helps to clear your pores, and copper, which can reduce the visibility of unsightly scars and other skin flaws. The antioxidant effects of both tyrosine and Vitamin E can also help to fight some signs of aging, in particular, they will work to prevent the development of wrinkles and fine lines, especially on your face.

Indoor lotions also moisturize your skin, which is important since the UV rays that your body receives during tanning will work to dry out your skin. Using indoor lotions help to counteract this drying and provide nutrients that your skin needs to resist the effects of the environment around you. Studies have also shown that moist skin tans better than dry skin. Therefore, using indoor tanning lotions that moisturize your skin can improve the efficiency of your tanning sessions and may even result in your needing to visit the tanning salon less.
