Why use a tanning lotion?

Accelerators, bronzers and tingles - what they do and how to choose the right one.

Applying tanning lotion to the arm

Indoor tanning lotions are made specifically for sunbeds. Most regular tanners use one every session.

Keeps skin hydrated

UV light dries your skin. A good lotion keeps it moisturised, which helps your colour look even and last longer.

Types of lotion

  • Accelerators - moisturising lotions that help you get the most from each session. Great for beginners.
  • Bronzers - add instant or delayed colour on top of your tan.
  • Intensifiers - for building a deeper colour once you have a base tan.
  • Tingle lotions - for experienced tanners only; they warm the skin and are not suitable for sensitive skin.

Only use indoor lotions

Outdoor sun creams and oils aren't designed for sunbeds and can damage the acrylic. Ask our team to recommend a lotion for your skin - or browse our shop.
