Does tanning lotion really ..

Yes. When you don't have tanning lotion on, your skin is dry and reflects the sun rays. When you wear tanning lotion it helps your skin absorb the sun rays and give you a dark rich tan. You shold always lay with a tanning lotion if you want to get any color.

Now the kind of lotion you would need depends on what kind of tan you want.

If you tan easy, any lotion is good.

If you tan okay-Bronzer or tingle

if it's hard to tan- light tingle, body blush or bronzer

Yes it does. Many of them do have ingredients to help moisturize your skin, to promote faster tanning. Well moisturized skin tans faster and holds tan longer, so it's also a good idea to use a body moisturizer in addition to the tanning lotion.

Using tanning lotion always helps maximize your results, whether you are using a tanning bed or laying out in the sun. I tan indoors, and use tanning lotions that have bronzers in them. Not only do you get the tan from the tanning bed rays, but you also get some extra color boost from the bronzers that just color the top layer of your skin.
