Tanning lotion products have gained popularity among many people especially women. The lotion intensifies the effects of the sun on the body and is not like the sunscreens that people apply for protection against the sun as they have no SPF. Tanning lotion works well when activated by an ultraviolet source which increases the amount of blood flowing to the skin and promotes production of melanin.

Basking in the sun is usually the best method to give maximum results because of the UV radiation that the sun produces. However, when used indoors a tanning bed or booth is required for production of the necessary radiation. More advanced tanning lotion is being produced currently and it does not require UV radiation to work perfectly.

A tanning lotion has numerous ingredients meant to give that beautiful skin look. It includes extracts from natural oils that have medicinal value as well as synthetic chemicals that do not react with the acrylic tanning bed that is normally used. Some tanning lotion brands have melanin in the list of ingredients to supplement melanin production.

Some of the natural oils that are present in the tanning lotion include teat tree oil also available in many other beauty products. The other oil is green tea that is also an additive to many dietary products. The natural oils are for giving the tanning lotion a natural look.

Synthetic chemicals are also included in the ingredients of a tanning lotion in order to supplement what the natural extracts may lack. One such example is melanin that works alongside L Tyrosine. Copper is also necessary but it is usually in many combined chemical formulas.

Moisturizers must also be included in the tanning lotion. They help in keeping the skin hydrated even after the exposure to UV radiation that causes a dry skin making it flake. One such moisturizing ingredient is hemp tree oil. The best tanning lotion to use is one that is recommended by your beauty therapist.
