tanning lotion

Skin darkening cream

Tanning lotion is a cream or oil applied to skin before sun exposure, designed to accelerate or enhance tanning while often providing some moisturizing benefit.

Unlike sunscreen, which blocks ultraviolet rays, tanning lotion may contain ingredients that attract or intensify sun exposure: She slathered on tanning lotion before laying out by the pool.

Some formulations include minimal SPF protection.
