What is a tingle tanning lotion?
Tingle lotions are designed for experienced tanners looking for a more intense tanning experience. They contain ingredients that create a warm, tingling sensation on the skin during and after a tanning session.
This sensation is completely different from a standard accelerator, maximiser or bronzer. Many regular tanners enjoy the feeling and choose tingle lotions as part of their advanced tanning routine.
Why do tingle lotions feel warm?
Tingle products contain ingredients that increase the warming sensation on the skin. Depending on the strength of the lotion, this can range from mild warmth to a much stronger tingling effect.
The feeling normally fades after a period of time, but first-time users are often surprised by how different a tingle lotion feels compared to traditional tanning products.
Who should use a tingle lotion?
- Regular and experienced tanners
- People comfortable with stronger tanning products
- Those looking for a more intense salon experience
- Tanners who have already used accelerators or maximisers
Who should avoid tingle lotions?
Tingle lotions are generally not recommended for beginners or anyone with particularly sensitive skin. If you have never used a tingle product before, it is usually best to start with a lower-strength option and build up gradually.
Are tingles stronger than accelerators?
Tingles are not necessarily "stronger" than accelerators, but they create a very different experience. Accelerators and maximisers focus on supporting your tanning routine, while tingles add a distinctive warming sensation that many experienced tanners enjoy.
If you're unsure whether a tingle lotion is right for you, speak to your salon or start with one of our accelerator or maximiser guides first.
