Indoor tanning enthusiasts might become overwhelmed and a little confused when trying to choose from an ever-growing number of tanning creams, lotions and oils. According to the Tanning Information Center, rule out the notion that it's OK to use indoor and outdoor tanning bronzers interchangeably. According to the TIC, because tanning beds discharge more UV rays than the sun, conventional suntan lotions might be unable to adequately safeguard skin. A high-quality tanning bed bronzer will moisturize and protect your skin while promoting a safe tan.

Australian Gold

The Australian Gold Colorology line of indoor tanning lotions gets a thumbs up from the TIC. Its My Passion lotion is promoted as an anti-aging, triple action formula that produces a long lasting (five to eight days) dark tan. Australian Gold's Biotanning Blend boasts a number of antioxidants, including CoQ10 and green tea. Its moisturizing effects will promote healthy firmer skin while preventing fine lines and wrinkles. Additional bronzing products by Australian Gold include Sun Dreams, Bearly Legal, Body Kisser, and Forever After. They all work to enhance and extend indoor tans.

Swedish Beauty

The Tanning Info Center describes Swedish Beauty brand bronzers as "wonderful." They have a tropical aroma that help moisturize your skin while improving your tan. The Swedish Beauty lines includes the sweet smelling Endless, Pine Diamond, which creates a tingling sensation on the skin and the deep tanning bronzers, Unforgiven and Simply Divine.

Caribbean Gold

The Caribbean Gold tanning bed bronzer is an aloebased hypoallergenic product that has a mild floral fragrance. The TIF calls Caribbean Gold an "amazing" product. Its ingredients include vitamins E and A to help condition, moisturize and preserve your skin while it's getting tan.
