Hi Niah, I was wondering if I can use tanning bed lotion outside in the sun?
Hello! Yes, you can use tanning bed lotions outside. However, they are specifically formulated for use in tanning beds, and hence, may not provide the same effects when used under natural sunlight.
Oh, I see. But wouldn't it speed up my tanning process under the sun?
While tanning lotions can help enhance and speed up the tanning process in a tanning bed due to the controlled environment, they might not offer the same efficiency under the sun due to factors like UV intensity and exposure time, which are hard to control outdoors.
I see. What about the SPF, does tanning bed lotion provide any sun protection?
Many tanning bed lotions do not contain SPF and are not designed to protect skin from UV damage like a sunscreen would. When going outside in the sun, it’s always important to use a product with adequate SPF to protect your skin. Keep in mind excessive sun exposure without proper protection can lead to sunburn and increase your risk of skin cancer.
Got it, thanks for the advice Niah!
You're welcome! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Enjoy your time in the sun but always remember to protect your skin.
