Healthy skin is the foundation of a successful tan. Indoor tanning lotions are designed to provide critical moisture to skin before and after tanning. The

healthier your skin, the longer you keep the tan; this allows you to build upon your foundation tan to get a deeper, darker tan. Dry skin flakes away your

tan layer by layer. Indoor tanning lotions provide you with the deep, constant moisture your skin needs during the tanning process. Most tanning lotions

have important vitamins and ingredients to help you extend your tan. People who avoid using tanning products will not get the extra moisture or a stable

tan since tanning tends to dry the skin; they will lose their tan more quickly between sessions, due to dry skin flaking away. A Special Note:Consumers

may not be getting the indoor tanning products that they think they are when they purchase them through unauthorized outlets like discount websites,

local flea markets or non-tanning outlets. Outdated, discontinued, damaged and tampered-with products are often the products that are diverted into

these outlets. Professional tanning products should be recommended by a qualified indoor tanning specialist to insure proper use. Indoor tanning

products have unique ingredients that should be used only as directed to ensure the finest tan possible.
