Why can I no longer feel a tingle?
Often experienced tingle users find that they can no longer feel the heat of their tingle lotion.  The user has become de-sensitized to the active ingredient, benzyl nicotinate which causes the reddening and tingling sensation.  The lotions effectiveness is still present even though the feeling is diminished.  Alternating between non-tingle lotions will avoid becoming desensitized to the tingle lotion.

Why use a facial product?
Facial skin is delicate and therefore has specific needs because of its sensitivity. Products specifically formulated for use on the face will promote darker, longer lasting tanning results.  These products are packed full of powerful antioxidants and skin firming ingredients to fight free radicals and reduce the signs of aging.  Australian Gold facial products are often fragrance free and hypoallergenic.  They are always dermatologist tested and wont clog pores.   It is important to note that the skin on the chest is also considered sensitive facial skin and should be treated accordingly.

Why should I use a Tan-Extender?
Tan extenders are intensely moisturizing lotions that should be used following a tanning session or shower to help your tan last longer.  They often contain hemp-seed oil which acts as a humectant to pull moisture from the air to condition the skin for all day moisture. 

How long should I wait before showering after a tanning session? 
This depends on the lotion being used.  If using a bronzer that contains DHA it is advised to wait 4-6 hours to shower in order to receive the full color develepment of the bronzers.  When using a tingle lotion it is recommended that you take a cool shower or wait for the reddening effect of the tingle to diminish before showering to avoid any discomfort. 

Why should I use lotion?
Applying a tanning lotion prior to your tanning session exfoliates away dead skin cells and allows the UV light to directly penetrate fresh skin, thereby increasing your tanning results by up to 70%.   Lotion also keeps the skin healthy and supple by replacing it with vitamins and nutrients lost during the tanning session.  Some Australian Gold lotions even contain melanin activating peptides to produce more melanin for darker tanning results.

How are Australian Gold/Swedish Beauty products better than drugstore brand lotions?
Australian Gold has years of experience developing high quality skincare products to maximize your tanning results.  Healthy skin tans better and stays darker longer.  AG products are designed specifically for indoor tanning to replenish your skin with vitamins and nutrients lost through tanning while also providing exceptional anti-aging and skin firming benefits that drugstore brands cannot equal.  Better skincare equals a Better tan!


Can I use Australian Gold lotion outdoors?
It is not recommended to use this lotion outdoors simply because they do not contain an SPF. Indoor tanning is a controlled environment unlike outdoor exposure. We highly recommend using sun protection when tanning outdoors.
Moreover, we particularly advise clients against using tingle products outdoors. Due to extreme heat, the tingle effects can be much more intense and uncomfortable when tanning outdoors.


What is the benefit of using a lotion that contains Hemp Seed Oil?
Hemp Seed Oil is a humectant that pulls moisture from the air to the surface of the skin. It is a skin care ingredient that provides powerful hydration. This is a wonderful ingredient in a tanning lotion because UV exposure can be dehydrating to the skin. In addition, Hemp Seed Oil contains essential fatty acids which help ingredients penetrate into the lipid layers of the skin for increased efficacy.


Will I fail a drug test using a lotion that contains Hemp Seed Oil?
No. The Hemp Seed Oil used in Australian Gold lotions are THC / drug-free. The Hemp Seed Oil used in indoor tanning lotions is a non-psychoactive industrial hemp variety of the cannabis sativa plant. There are no known cases of a positive drug test from the topical application of Hemp Seed Oil tanning lotions.
