For many years tanning beds were an easy and quick way to get a tan in
the middle of winter or when preparing for a tropical getaway. Today,
when doctors claim that tanning beds are as dangerous as the sun
itself and can cause skin cancer and premature aging, more and more
people stay away from tanning beds. However, there are certain
benefits from using a tanning bed, especially when protecting the skin
with the proper tanning bed lotion.

Tanning bed lotions are used to moisturize the skin and infuse it with
antioxidants that diminish and prevent the damage from UVA and UVB
rays.

There are also tanning bed lotions that intensify the tanning process.
These lotions contain methyl nicotinate that instantly penetrates and
activate your melanin cells for a deeper color. Tan activating tanning
lotions can also create a warming tingling sensation on the skin to
increase the blood flow to the skin surface and speed up the tan.
These tanning lotions moisturize the skin with essential oils and skin
nourishing vitamins so that your skin looks bronzed and glowing.

Some tanning bed lotions employ another principle: they cool down the
skin with mint and cucumber to prevent burns. Even though tanning bed
lotions do not shield from the burn that can lead to the skin cancer,
they can make it less heat-sensitive. No tanning bed lotions can deal
with photosensitivity, which can be caused by medications you are
currently taking.

There are special tanning bed lotions for use around eyes. You should
always protect your eyes with special goggles that either clip on your
nose or are secured with the ribbon. To further protect the fragile
skin around your eyes from UVA/UVB damage, you can use tanning
