Tan Incorporated: The Professional's Choice

Hello, gorgeous tanners! Jessie-Lee King here, your trusted tanning guru from MEGATAN. Today, we're shining a spotlight on a brand that consistently delivers on its promise of deep, dark, and utterly beautiful tans: Tan Incorporated. If you've been searching for that perfect professional touch, whether you're a seasoned tanner or just starting your bronzing journey, you've likely come across this name. And for good reason! Tan Incorporated lotions are crafted with advanced formulations, packed with skin-loving ingredients, and designed to give you that enviable glow. Let's delve into what makes Tan Inc. a true professional's choice.

Why Tan Incorporated Stands Out

In the vast world of tanning lotions, Tan Incorporated has carved out a niche for itself by focusing on high-quality ingredients, innovative bronzing technologies, and formulations that not only deliver exceptional colour but also care for your skin. They consistently push the boundaries with their 'X' factor bronzers (think 200X, 400X, 500X, even 600X!), indicating the intensity and depth of the cosmetic colour you can achieve. But it's not just about the bronzing; it's about the entire tanning experience. Their lotions often feature unique scents, hydrating complexes, and ingredients designed to extend your tan's life and improve skin health. For us at MEGATAN, recommending Tan Inc. is easy because we see the radiant results time and time again.

Understanding Tan Inc.'s Bronzing Technologies

Tan Incorporated is renowned for its diverse range of bronzing types. Let's break them down so you can pick the perfect potion for your desired glow:

• DHA Bronzers: These contain Dihydroxyacetone, a sugar-derived ingredient that reacts with amino acids in the top layer of your skin to create a natural-looking tan. DHA develops over several hours (typically 2-4 hours to start showing, full colour in 12-24 hours) and continues to deepen after your session. It's excellent for a long-lasting, streak-free tan.
• Instant/Cosmetic Bronzers: These provide immediate colour upon application, thanks to temporary dyes or pigments. They're fantastic for seeing instant results and for guiding your application, but they wash off in the shower. Often, DHA bronzers also include instant bronzers.
• Hybrid Bronzers: The best of both worlds! These lotions combine DHA for a developing, lasting tan with instant bronzers for immediate gratification and an initial colour boost. Many of Tan Inc.'s top-tier lotions fall into this category.
• Tingle Bronzers: Not for the faint of heart, tingle lotions contain ingredients (like Benzyl Nicotinate) that stimulate blood flow to the skin's surface, enhancing oxygenation and intensifying your tan. This creates a warming, tingling, and reddening sensation. Always patch test these! Tan Incorporated Original Dark Brown Sugar Tingle is a prime example.
• Accelerators/Maximisers: While not strictly bronzers, many Tan Inc. lotions include accelerators. These formulas focus on stimulating your skin's natural melanin production, helping you achieve a deeper, darker tan from UV exposure without added cosmetic bronzers. Often, they're combined with bronzers for amplified results.

Jessie-Lee's Tanning Tips for Using Tan Incorporated

To get the absolute best out of your Tan Incorporated lotions and ensure a flawless, long-lasting tan, follow these expert tips:

• Exfoliate First: Always start with freshly exfoliated skin. This removes dead skin cells, creating a smooth canvas for even tan absorption and preventing patchiness. Pay extra attention to knees, elbows, and ankles.
• Moisturise Daily (Post-Tan): Hydrated skin holds a tan better and longer. After your tanning session, moisturise daily with a good quality after-tan extender. This isn't just about prolonging your tan; it's about maintaining skin health.
• Apply Evenly: Use a tanning mitt or your hands (washing them thoroughly immediately after!) to apply your lotion in circular motions. Ensure full coverage for a streak-free finish.
• Patch Test (Especially Tingles): Before using any new lotion, particularly tingle products, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (like your inner arm). Wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions.
• Patience with DHA: Remember that DHA bronzers take time to develop. Don't shower immediately after your session if you've used a DHA product; allow the colour to deepen for at least 2-4 hours, ideally 8-12 hours, before rinsing.
• Rotate Your Lotions: Sometimes, your skin can get used to a particular formula. Rotating between different types of bronzers or even adding an accelerator can help break through tanning plateaus.
• Safety First: Always adhere to recommended tanning times for your skin type and salon guidelines. Tanning is about building a healthy glow responsibly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'X' factor bronzing (e.g., 400X) mean in Tan Incorporated lotions? A: The 'X' factor (like 400X, 500X, 600X) in Tan Incorporated lotions refers to the intensity and concentration of the bronzing ingredients, both instant cosmetic bronzers and DHA. Higher numbers indicate a deeper, darker, and more intense cosmetic colour result from the lotion.

Q: Are Tan Incorporated lotions suitable for all skin types? A: Tan Incorporated offers a wide range of lotions, and most are suitable for various skin types. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's always best to choose a lotion specifically designed for sensitive skin, or opt for an accelerator without bronzers. Always perform a patch test before full application, especially with tingle products.

Q: Can I use Tan Incorporated indoor tanning lotions outdoors? A: Tan Incorporated lotions are primarily designed for indoor tanning beds and do not contain SPF (Sun Protection Factor). While they won't harm your skin outdoors, they won't protect you from UV rays. If tanning outdoors, always apply a separate, broad-spectrum sunscreen with adequate SPF.

Q: How long does a tan from Tan Incorporated lotions typically last? A: The longevity of your tan depends on several factors, including your skin type, how well you prepare your skin, and how consistently you moisturise afterwards. Generally, a tan achieved with DHA bronzers can last between 5-7 days, and sometimes longer with diligent moisturisation and proper aftercare.

Q: What's the difference between a DHA bronzer and a Hybrid Bronzer from Tan Incorporated? A: A DHA Bronzer primarily relies on Dihydroxyacetone to create a chemical reaction with your skin for a developing, longer-lasting tan. A Hybrid Bronzer combines DHA with instant cosmetic bronzers (like natural extracts or dyes) that provide immediate colour upon application, which then washes off to reveal the developing DHA tan underneath. Hybrid bronzers give you instant gratification plus a lasting glow.
