What Do Tanning Oils Do Exactly?

Unlike sunscreens, tanning oils increase the absorption of ultraviolet rays, giving you a deeper tan.

Is Tanning Oil Safe?

Since they spike sun damage, setting the stage for skin problems, including dark spots, age spots, skin cancer, dark spots, and wrinkles, it is safe to say tanning oils are not a good idea.

Is SPF Tanning Oil Also Safe?

Tanning oils with SPF increase skin protection when exposed to the sun, reducing the risk of skin issues. For more skin protection, I highly recommend tanning oil with 30 SPF or 50 SPF.

How Do They Compare to Sunscreens?

Tanning oils intensify ultra violet trays onto the skin, speeding up melanin production. This leaves you with a darker hue. On the other hand, sunscreens filter the sun’s rays, protecting the skin against all forms of ultraviolet rays.

How Long Can You Stay in The Sun with Tanning Oil On?

There is no specific time of staying in the sun with tanning oil on. The amount you spend in the sun depends on the UV index when you want to achieve a darker hue and your skin type. As a tanning expert, I usually advise my clients to start low and monitor the results. If they are positive, they can gradually increase time for a better glow.

Tanning Oil Recommendations?

I highly recommend Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil, and Australian Gold Exotic Oily Spray for a quick tan.
