Tingle Lotions for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide to Your First Application

Understanding Tingle Lotions

A tingle tanning lotion is designed to stimulate blood flow and oxygen to the skin, increasing natural melanin production to help achieve a deeper, darker tan.

Tingle tanning products accelerate melanin production when used on a tanning bed.

Tingle tanning lotions are recommended for experienced tanners only who want to break through their tanning plateau and achieve a deeper tan.

They are not recommended for beginners, fair skin types, or those with sensitive skin, as the intense "tingling sensation" can be overwhelming and uncomfortable.

These tanning creams help users achieve a deeper,natural-looking tan without being exposed to more harmful UV rays.

Tingle lotions are recommended for indoor tanning only as UV rays activate them.

Preparing Your Skin

The right tanning lotion selection and proper skin preparation are crucial to help achieve a flawless tan.

Exfoliating creates a smooth canvas and removes dead skin cells. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub and exfoliating gloves.

After exfoliating, moisturise the skin to lock in hydration and moisture. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and feet.

Exfoliation for Smooth Skin

Exfoliation is key to achieving smooth, glowing skin! It removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps tanning lotions penetrate more effectively.

• Use a gentle exfoliating scrub to slough off dead skin cells.
• Pay particular attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and the tops of your feet.

Moisturising Dry Areas

Moisturising dry areas will keep the skin hydrated, soft and healthy. Choose a moisturiser that is gentle on the skin and contains hydrating ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil.

• Apply a moisturiser to drier areas, like the elbows and knees.
• This will help the skin absorb the tanning lotion more evenly and prevent these areas from becoming too dark.

Choosing the Right Tingle Lotion

• Selecting the right tingle lotion is essential for a successful tanning experience and a perfect tanned result.
• Consider your skin type, desired tan level, and any skin sensitivities when choosing a tingle lotion.
• Look for tingle lotions suitable for your skin type and tanning goals.

Applying Tingle Lotion

Correct tanning lotion application will ensure you achieve an even tan every time! Follow our application tips for the best results:

• Test a small skin area, like your elbow or wrist.
• Apply tingle lotion within 10 minutes of using the sunbed.
• Apply in circular motions.
• Avoid applying to delicate areas like the face.
• Wipe your hands immediately after applying.

Tips for Effective Use

• Start with a small amount of tingle lotion and add more as needed.
• Use a tingle cream on the tanning bed to enhance the tanning process.
• Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a good moisturiser daily.
• Avoid using harsh products or exfoliating too frequently, which can strip your skin of natural oils.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don't apply tingle lotion too heavily, which can lead to an uneven, streaky finish.
• Avoid applying tingle lotion to broken or irritated skin, which can cause further irritation.
• Don't forget to moisturise your skin after tanning to lock in the skin's hydration.
• Don't use expired or old tingle lotions, which can reduce effectiveness and cause skin irritation.
