Moisturizers & Tan Extenders: Keep Your Glow Longer
Posted by Chuck Finley on 27th Aug 2025
At Tanning Lotion Depot, we believe the perfect tan doesn't stop when you step out of the bed or sun. That’s why our moisturizers and tan extender lotions are essential to maintaining radiant, long-lasting color.
What Is a Tan Extender Lotion?
Tan extender lotion is much more than a moisturizer—it’s your secret weapon for preserving that perfect tan. These specialized lotions:
- Hydrate deeply to prevent peeling and dryness
- Lock in color for longer-lasting results
- Improve skin elasticity and reduce the look of fine lines for a youthful glow
By including a tan extender in your daily skin routine, you're investing in the health and durability of your tan, keeping it radiant longer.
Why You Need a Moisturizer After Tanning
Tanning, whether indoors or out, can draw moisture out of your skin. A moisturizer or tan extender helps:
- Restore vital nutrients and hydration
- Extend the life of your color
- Smooth and rejuvenate skin texture
Think of tanning lotion as the shampoo of tanning, and a tan extender as the conditioner, both vital for best results!
Natural Ingredients That Boost & Extend Color
The most effective tan extenders are packed with skin-loving ingredients:
- Hemp seed oil, a natural humectant, locks in moisture and is rich in antioxidants and omegas, helping your tan last longer and reducing free radical damage
- Vitamins E, B5, and shea butter help fight signs of aging and firm your skin
