Why tanning products work. - tanTALK

Magnification: Magnification is the multiplying of the UV light reaching your skin. Tanners not using a professional indoor lotion will not get the extra magnification and are therefore getting less results from the same tanning bed exposure times.

Moisturization: Healthy skin is the foundation of your tanning success. Professional indoor tanning products are designed to provide critical remoisturization to the skin before and after tanning. The heathier your skin, the longer you have to tan that same skin and the darker your tan can get. No indoor lotion, no extra moisture, less results.

Skin Conditioning: Professional indoor lotions are formulated to provide you with additional levels of key tanning ingredients that assist the tanning process. These should include L-tyrosine, vitamins, copper and other minerals. Skin conditioning ingreds. are often the same that assist in moisturizing and magnifying.

While it depends on your body size, most tanners use 1/2 to 3/4 of an ounce of lotion to throughly cover themselves prior to tanning. To get the most from the magnification provided by lotions, try to apply them immediately before tanning.

ok seriously. I have been told multiple times that unless you are using a tingle...applying lotions prior (like up to 30-45 minutes) to tanning really increases the skins absorption of the lotion. This makes sense...therefore you get the max out of your lotion. WTH???? So what's the real science? Neon I am a believer of you, so now I'm confused.

From what I understand applying that far in advance will get the moisturizing and skin conditioning affects but reduces the magnification effects.
