Tanning Lotion: Combating Dry Skin


"You know all of the great reasons that you should use tanning lotion when you tan. You've read about how tanning lotion can improve the appearance of your tan, speed up the tanning process and protect your skin from the sun. But did you realize that tanning lotion is also a terrific product for combating dry skin? It makes sense when you think about it; after all, tanning lotion is a lotion and that's what lotions do. But many people fail to think about the moisturizing benefits of tanning lotion which can help you to limit the dryness of your skin.

Skin dryness is something which is caused in part by dehydration, a problem which is increased when people are tanning. Tanning lotion helps to combat dry skin by moisturizing it during the tanning process. When you put tanning lotion on before your tan � especially if you get some good advice about the right tanning lotion to use at your tanning salon � you give your skin the nutrients it needs before the tan even begins. So, instead of just repairing dry skin after it's happened, your tanning lotion is actually preventing your skin from drying out at all. When combined with proper water hydration and good tanning habits, this can prevent a plethora of other problems related to dry skin, such as wrinkles and early aging.

Tanning lotion can be used to combat dry skin outside of the tanning booth as well. You should make sure that you know which tanning lotions can be used for your daily activities before you use it for this purpose. But the right tanning lotions can be applied throughout the day � or at the start of each day � to moisturize your skin on a regular basis. This helps to repair dry skin damage from past exposure to the sun as well as to prevent future dry skin problems. And of course it has the added benefit of helping you out with a more natural tan.

Different tanning lotions make use of different ingredients to combat dry skin. It's a good idea for you to discuss your specific tanning lotion needs with a professional working at your local salon to get the best information about products that will help you combat dry skin. For example, some people find that tanning lotions which use shea butter are best for their skin. Others find that a water-based or oil-based tanning lotion makes more sense for helping them to fight dryness. What you need will depend on a number of factors including your skin texture, skin tone, tanning habits, tanning goals, and potential allergies.

Using tanning lotion to help moisturize your skin will also improve the other benefits of tanning that you've been seeking. For example, tanning lotion will help you to get a more even tan at a more rapid pace. And moisturize, healthy skin will be more capable of showing off that tan as well as giving off that glowing look that makes a good tan even better. So, you should use tanning lotion to fight dry skin but you'll be happy with the other benefits that you see from it as well!"
