Face & Leg Lotions
FACIAL TANNING PRODUCTS
Using an indoor tanning product specifically formulated for your face is important for several reasons. First, facial skin is more sensitive and delicate than the rest of your body, so it requires a gentler formula to avoid irritation or breakouts. These products are typically designed to be non-comedogenic, ensuring they don't clog pores. Additionally, face-specific tanning products often contain ingredients that address the unique concerns of facial skin, such as hydration and anti-aging benefits, while still providing a natural-looking tan. Using the right product helps ensure a smooth, even tan without damaging or over-drying your face.
The tan on our face tends to fade faster than on the rest of the body because facial skin is thinner, more delicate, and experiences more frequent exposure to environmental factors like sun, wind, and pollution. Additionally, the face undergoes more regular shedding of skin cells, which speeds up the natural exfoliation process and can cause the tan to fade quicker. Daily activities such as washing the face, using skincare products, and sweating can also contribute to the loss of the tan. Combined, these factors cause facial tans to diminish more rapidly compared to areas like the arms or stomachs, so a lotion specifically formulated to boost and maintain your tan longer is so beneficial!
LEG TANNING PRODUCTS
Using an indoor tanning product formulated specifically for your legs is important because the skin on your legs is often thicker and less sensitive than on other parts of your body, requiring a different formulation. Leg-specific tanning products are typically designed to provide a more intense, longer-lasting tan while addressing the unique needs of this area, such as moisture retention and hair growth inhibitors.
The legs tend to tan slower than the rest of the body because the skin on the legs is thicker and has fewer melanocytes (the cells responsible for producing melanin, which gives skin its color). Thicker skin means it takes longer for UV rays to penetrate deeply enough to stimulate melanin production. Additionally, we naturally exfoliate our legs often due to movement, as well as tighter or rougher clothing (like leggings and jeans).These factors combined result in a slower and less intense tan on the legs compared to other areas like the arms and stomach, which is why lotion formulated specifically to target this problem-area is beneficial for clients.
