Hollywood Tan carries a wide range of quality tanning and skin care products specifically designed to help nourish your skin with vitamins and minerals while achieving your desired tanning results. ACHIEVE MAXIMUM UV ABSORPTION The secret behind the success of indoor tanning lotions is maximum UV absorption, which causes increased melanin production. Melanin is the pigment in the skin that darkens when exposed to UV rays. It's a fact that healthy, moisturized skin readily absorbs UV light, while dry skin reflects it. Hollywood Tan offers products fortified with essential nutrients and moisturizers to accelerate the tanning process, and provide the valuable nourishment it needs to maintain that healthy and youthful glow. PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM FREE RADICALS The cells in your body use oxygen to generate energy. During this process toxic substances called free radicals are also created, which travel throughout the body damaging vital cell structures. This damage is believed to cause visible signs of aging, such as lines and wrinkles, uneven texture and tone, age spots and blotches, visible pores and an overall increase in dryness. An antioxidant is any vitamin that reacts in an opposite manner to oxygen. The products available at Hollywood Tan contain all the necessary vitamins and antioxidants necessary to neutralize free radicals. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOTION There are so many different types of tanning lotions currently available on the market. Finding the right indoor tanning lotion is key when it comes to achieving that perfect glow and protecting your skin. Our Hollywood Tan team is professionally trained to help you determine your unique skin type and recommend the best tanning products. Accelerators – These types of lotions help the skin achieve a quicker and deeper natural tan. Accelerators contain an amino acid called unipertan or tyrosine, which stimulates your own natural pigment production. Bronzers – When applied evenly over moisturized skin, bronzers create immediate colour through cosmetic bronzers and sunless tanning agents, such as Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), walnut extract and caramel. Tingles – These products give your skin deep and dark tanning results by increasing the micro-circulation and oxygenation of your skin. Tingles have a warming/reddening effect on your skin and are most effective on areas of the body that are more likely to have issues retaining colour, such as surfaces undergoing frequent shaving or exfoliation. The active ingredient responsible for the tingling sensation is called benzyl nicotinate. Coolants – Active cooling ingredients such as menthyl lactate, spearmint and eucalyptus bathe your skin in a refreshing and cooling essence to further enhance your tanning session.
