Tanning Oil

Tanning Oil is a popular tool used to achieve a beautiful, even, and long-lasting Colour while sunbathing. There are different types of Tanning Oils available, each with its own unique characteristics and benefits.

What is Tanning Oil?

Tanning Oil is a Self-Tanner designed to accelerate and enhance the tanning process of the skin. It is applied to the skin before sunbathing or using a tanning bed. Tanning Oils contain ingredients that stimulate the skin's natural tanning process, such as tyrosine, which promotes the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the brown Colour of the skin.

How does Tanning Oil work?

Tanning Oil works by hydrating the skin and enhancing the tanning reaction. The ingredients in the oil help the skin retain moisture, keeping it supple and hydrated. This prevents dryness and flaking, which can lead to an uneven Colour.

Additionally, Tanning Oil enhances the tanning process by stimulating melanin production. This occurs in two ways: first, it enhances the effect of the sun or tanning bed by absorbing UV rays and allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. Second, Tanning Oil contains ingredients, such as tyrosine, that promote melanin production. This combination of factors allows the skin to become Brown faster and deeper.

Types of Tanning Oil

There are different types of Tanning Oils on the market, varying in ingredients and effects. Some popular types are:

1. Natural Tanning Oil: These oils contain natural ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa butter, and aloe vera. They are ideal for people with sensitive skin or those who prefer natural products.

2. Bronzing oil: Bronzing oils often contain extra pigments that give the skin an immediate brown Colour. This provides instant results and can help achieve an even Colour.

3. Protective Tanning Oil: Some Tanning Oils also contain Sunscreen or a certain SPF factor to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. This is important for people who burn easily or have fair skin.
