Tingly Tan

People who have pale skin prefer to get a tan, and they would take every chance to stay under the sun. Those who don’t want to be seen with their pale skin use indoor tanning lotions and complete the tanning process with a tanning bed. Tanning lotions enhance the production of melanin in the skin, producing a darker tone.

There are several ingredients that give the tanning effect. Ingredients that “tingle”, or irritates the skin to cause reddening may be uncomfortable to some individuals. Bronzers is another ingredient that is sometimes combined with “tingling” agents. Common bronzer is dihydroxyacetone (DHA).
