Just as foods heal lotions promote a better tan and skin.

Bronzer – Bronzers come in many forms DHA, Natural, Erythrulose, etc. DHA and Erythrulose are a carbohydrate, that has a natural ability to dye the skin. These sugars react with the amino acids of the keratin found in the skins upper layer. The reaction, which is completely natural and nontoxic, creates a temporary browning effect on these skin cells. The color change resembles the same color a UV-based suntan produces. This is excellent for those with fair skin that want to reach a level of color not obtainable from tanning alone.

Tingle – For Experienced Tanners only. These lotions are formulated with Methyl or Benzyl Nicotinate, two ingredients that can bring more oxygen into the skin and increase melanin Tingle lotions are the most intense heated type of tanning lotions on the market that stimulate and increase microcirculation of the skin for greater, more intense tanning results. When applied to the skin, the Tingle lotion increases the circulation of blood and oxygen to the surface of the skin, which affects the production of melanin (the pigment that gives your skin its color) in the body. The more melanin is affected, the darker your skin turns, thus resulting in a darker tan. Tingle products are available in varying degrees of intensity and are recommended for the advanced tanner only. Please do not apply a tingle lotion to the face.
