Why Use Tanning Oil
For those who enjoy relaxing in the sun or in a tanning bed, in search of that perfect sun-kissed looked, you will need to use tanning oil. Typically, when tanning in a tanning bed alone, it could take anywhere from weeks or months to get that perfect tan so by using a tanning oil, you can help to speed up the process. While tanning oil is considered by some to be messy and others to be expensive, many enjoy not only the way it feels on their skin, but the way that it helps the looks of their bronzed bodies.
Tanning oils that are used by millions of people every year during all seasons, can be used for both indoor and outdoor tanning. For some it is a special treat while for others, the use of tanning oil and sun bathing go hand in hand. As part of the oil is soaked into the skin, there may be a little bit left on you when you are finished with your tanning but this is not a concern as the oil is easily wiped or washed off and does not stain clothing.
Types Of Oil
With people having so many different skin types, needs and allergies, it has proven to be impossible to make one type of tanning oil that everyone would enjoy. So, whether you are in the store or surfing the web, you can find hundreds of different types of tanning oil. There is the original rub-on oil that is slightly more of a mess as it will be all over the bottom of your hands, and there is the spray on oil, which does not have to be rubbed in. Each of these types has their own pluses and minuses.
Once you have selected which type of oil you would like to use, there is now the option of the different scents to pick from. There are tanning oils that does not contain any scent for those sensitive to smells, and there are plenty of oils with scents of just about everything under the rainbow.
Typically, a tropical scent (generally coconut based) is the most preferred as what else goes along with heat and the baking sun but a tropical setting? And if you can't have the tropical setting, then a tropical scent works just as well too. So no matter your preference, there is sure to be a tanning oil to suit your needs.
