A very dangerous misconception is the distinction of indoor tanning lotion and tanning oils from sunscreen and sun block. Indoor tanning lotion does not contain any SPF and therefore offers absolutely no protection against the dangerous ultraviolet rays. In fact, these products are designed to amplify the effects of rays and subsequently increase the rate of tanning by promoting several aspects that contribute to the production of melanin. Some tanning lotions rely on moisturizing the skin since hydrated skin is known to produce melanin better than dry skin. Other lotions contain specific proteins and amino acids that are suppose to promote the production of melanin. Tingle lotion increases the blood flow to the skin which produces the same effect. It is important that first time tanners who do not have a tan base avoid tanning oils and indoor tanning lotions or their skins will burn.
