How Do Tingle Tanning Lotions Work? Tingle tanning lotions increase the circulation of blood and oxygen to the upper layer of skin, which promotes melanin production. Melanin is what gives skin color, and producing more of it makes skin darker. In a tanning bed, the production of melanin is boosted further by UV light exposure, thus providing a deeper tan. Tingle lotions also produce stimulus in the skin, or tingling sensation, see why its called a Tingle?
