Function

• Tanning oils are designed to enhance the effects of ultraviolet rays on the skin, assisting in darkening the color faster.
  
  

Types

• Tanning oils include those with a tingle factor and those with a bronzer. When the user experiences the tingling sensation it increases blood flow and flushes the skin, while a bronzer works to give instant color.
  
  

Features

• Ingredients vary from brand to brand of tanning oil, but common features are DHA, melanin, L-Tyrosine, tea oil, copper and green tea extract. Whichever elements are used, they must be designed to be non-harmful to tanning beds.
  
  

Benefits

• Tanning oils are designed to be moisturizing, since UV ray exposure can dehydrate the skin, and they also help to preserve the effects of tanning.
  
  

Warning

• Tanning oils have no sunscreen protection in their composition. The result is possible overexposure to UV rays and sunburning.
