Choosing from Tanning Oils & Lotions
Around 220 tanning oils, browning lotions and accelerators for outdoor and sunbed tanning.

This collection is for tanning in the sun or on a sunbed, as opposed to self-tan. It includes outdoor oils and browning lotions from Maui Babe, Australian Gold, Carroten, Panama Jack and Banana Boat, and indoor tanning lotions with bronzers from Devoted Creations and ED HARDY. Most cost between £28 and £42.

Many tanning oils have a low SPF or none, so they do not protect against burning. Check the SPF on the label and use a separate sunscreen. Indoor lotions are formulated for sunbeds and are labelled as such. If you want colour without UV exposure, see the self-tan collection.

Frequently asked questions

Do tanning oils contain SPF?

Some have a low SPF and many have none. The SPF is stated in the product title or description. Tanning oil is not a substitute for sunscreen.

What is the difference between tanning oil and self-tan?

Tanning oils and accelerators are used with sun or sunbed exposure. Self-tan develops colour on the skin without UV.

What is an indoor tanning lotion?

It is a lotion made for use on sunbeds, often with bronzers and moisturisers. It normally contains no sun protection and is not intended for outdoor use.
