Should I use lotions when tanning?

Lotions & Moisturizers

There's an entire market dedicated to tanning creams, lotions, moisturizers and accelerators. Some people swear by them, while others think they are a waste of money. It's all a matter of personal preference. It also depends on your skin type. The heat generated by indoor tanning beds and booths can have a drying effect on your skin, so moisturizing during and after tanning is probably a good idea for most people. You definitely should not use perfume or cosmetics during indoor tanning, because some perfumes and cosmetics can make your skin more sun-sensitive and prone to burning.
