Do you really need lotion for tanning beds?

One of the benefits of using tanning lotion in an indoor tanning bed is that it helps the skin stay hydrated. Tanning bed bulbs are very strong and tend to dry out the skin more than the sun because of their intensity. Dryer skin doesn’t tan as evenly, so lotion can help you to have a more even tan.Click to see full answer. Simply so, can I use regular lotion in a tanning bed?No, you can’t and you shouldn’t use regular tanning lotions. Regular tanning lotions have ingredients that can damage the tanning beds. These ingredients build upon the surface of the beds and will slowly deteriorate it. If it’s your dream to get a sun-kissed golden skin, you must use indoor tanning lotions.Also, is it better to tan with lotion or without? The higher a lotion’s SPF number, the greater the protection. Using tanning lotion is better than tanning without any protection, but many lotions don’t have enough SPF to offer much real protection. Accordingly, what happens if you tan in a tanning bed without lotion? Without the use of tanning lotions, skin is dry and deflects UV rays while using a sunbed, which can make you waste up to 50% of your sunbed tanning session effectiveness. This then results in you having to tan more times to achieve your desired tanning results, which in turn costs you more money.How soon before tanning should I apply lotion?Yes, but most people wait to apply their tanning lotion at the tanning salon. When you put lotion on too early, your skin has time to absorb the moisture. This can be good for some skin types, but not those with dry skin.
