Can you use ordinary tanning products in tanning beds?

Do you have to use lotions specifically for tanning beds? Will it break the bed or the bulbs? I was told this and I believe it is just a ploy to get you to buy their product,

Can you use ordinary tanning products in tanning beds?
absolutely not


tanning lotions only maximize your tan and help it stay longer,


they're not necessary,


and when you do use one it doesn't matter what kind.


lotion is lotion.
Reply:I was told too that you are only supposed to use "indoor" tanning lotions for tanning beds and NOT outdoor lotions. They said it was bad for the bulbs. I think it was a load of sh*t. However, I still always used to indoor lotion because I thought it would work better.
Reply:I have never heard of products breaking the bulbs hmmm think that is a ploy....but it is better to use products designed for the sunbed as they help you develop a tan and also dry skin isn't the best to tan with...you don't get very far.
Reply:no, u should use there products if u want to get a better tan and i works better because they are designed for the tanning beds. i dont know about it breaking the bed.
Reply:Greasy oils or outdoor tanners will dull and discolor the special plastic cover, therefore the effective UV rays do not travel through %26amp; you don't tan as well. However, it is something that happens over time, so once or twice won't hurt but eventually it will ruin the bed.
