Tanning Lotions

Why tanning lotion matters

Using a professional indoor tanning lotion is one of the best ways to improve your tanning results and keep your skin looking healthy.

Browse lotions
  • Hydrated Skin Tans Better

    Moisturized skin absorbs UV light more evenly for a deeper, more even tan with less patchiness.

  • Helps Your Tan Last Longer

    Dry skin sheds faster and causes your tan to fade. Lotions help lock in moisture to keep color vibrant.

  • More Even Results

    Indoor tanning lotions help promote a smooth, streak-free, even-looking tan from head to toe.

  • Nourishes Your Skin

    Ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, coconut oil, vitamins & antioxidants leave skin soft and conditioned.

  • Protects Your Investment

    Get the most out of each session by optimizing your skin’s condition for tanning.

  • Avoid Outdoor Sunscreens

    Indoor lotions are made for tanning equipment. Sunscreen blocks UV rays and regular lotions may damage beds.

Tips for the best tanning results

  1. Tip 01 Exfoliate Before Your First Session

    Gently exfoliate 24 hours before tanning to remove dead skin cells for a smoother, more even tan.

  2. Tip 02 Moisturize Every Day

    Hydrated skin holds color longer. Moisturize daily, even on days you don’t tan.

  3. Tip 03 Use Indoor Tanning Lotion Every Session

    Apply lotion evenly before each tanning session for the best possible results.

  4. Tip 04 Remove Makeup & Perfume

    Clean skin helps promote a more even tan and keeps tanning beds clean.

  5. Tip 05 Follow Your Recommended Schedule

    Building a tan gradually produces longer-lasting, more natural-looking results than tanning too frequently.

  6. Tip 06 Rotate Your Position

    Move your arms and legs occasionally during your session to help reduce pressure points and achieve a more even tan.

  7. Tip 07 Wear Protective Eyewear

    Protecting your eyes during every session is essential.

  8. Tip 08 Wait Before Showering

    If your tanning lotion contains cosmetic bronzers, wait 2 to 4 hours (or follow the lotion’s directions) before showering.

  9. Tip 09 Moisturize After Every Shower

    Keeping your skin hydrated helps your tan fade evenly and last longer.

  10. Tip 10 Choose the Right Bed

    Different tanning beds provide different UV intensities and experiences. Our staff can help recommend the best bed for your skin type and tanning goals.
