Of course there are exceptions, but in general you wash your hair with shampoo. Otherwise your hair will not be cleaned properly and that is precisely why you wash your hair. This also applies to the use of a tanning cream under the tanning bed. With a sunbed cream you tan faster, you get a darker tan and your tan lasts longer and at the same time you optimally care for and hydrate your skin. That's what you want, right?
Tanning bed cream not sunscreen
A sunbed cream has been specially developed for use under a sunbed, so it is not the same as sunscreen. An important difference between the two is that a sunbed cream does not contain a protection factor (SPF). This is not necessary as we have the perfect tanning bed for every skin type. But there are of course exceptions to this, such as applying SPF to pigment spots, scars and tattoos. You can read all about that in our next blog.
Faster, deeper, longer tan
Sunbed creams generally contain tanning accelerators, these are ingredients that - as the name suggests - accelerate the tanning process. With a tanning bed cream, this process, the production of melanin, starts after approx. 3 minutes. Melanin is the tanning substance in the skin that is formed under the influence of the sun or tanning bed. Do you want to develop a tan even faster? There are luxurious tanning accelerators with Maladark that start your tan after 1.5 minutes, such as BlackCrown If you choose not to use a sunbed cream; then your melanin production only starts around 8 minutes. If your tanning session lasts fifteen minutes and you don't use any cream, you will only be under the sunbed for 7 minutes.
Ultimate skin care
In addition to tanning accelerators, tanning bed creams contain many other ingredients such as a DHA bronzer, natural bronzers, cosmetic bronzers and not to forget; super good skin care. Because even if you tan quickly, it is very important to take good care of your skin when you use the sunbed. Sunbed creams contain high-quality ingredients that combat fine lines and wrinkles, maintain the moisture level of your skin and improve the quality of your skin. There are different sunbed creams for all kinds of different skin types. Think of (extremely) sensitive skin ( Limited Couture , Shea you love me) , acne-prone and uneven skin (force of nature), etc. So there is always a suitable sunbed cream that suits your skin.
With a sunbed cream your tanning result will improve by 40%, you can retain your tan for up to 7 days and because your skin is optimally cared for, your tan will look even better. That is why we recommend using a sunbed cream with every tanning session.
