Tan Accelerator

Going out of the town or maybe have a hot date coming up? Maybe you have a prom or dance in the next week or so and you want to be able to turn heads. We all want to look are best, especially on those important occasions. Having a nice tan face and body will really make you look good. Problem is, you don’t have the time to head out to the beach or lay out in the backyard. Even worse, maybe the weather is too cold to do that. Fortunately there is a product that can help you get that golden tan you seek anytime. What you need to use is a tan accelerator.

Tanning Accelerator

What is a tanning accelerator? This is a lotion that you can rub on your body to help speed up the process of getting a tan. Tanning accelerator lotions have been gaining in popularity over the last few years because people are getting good results from them. There are several different types of tanning lotions out there and we will look at a few of the more popular ones to help you decide which is the best tanning accelerator for you.

What’s in a tan accelerator?

The best ones are all natural tanning accelerators. No one wants to use chemicals on their skin. You will find that these tanning lotions contain amino acids and plant extracts. This serves 2 purposes. One it helps stimulate your melanin pigment (this is what darkens your skin) and second it acts as a moisturizer to soothe the skin and help prevent burning. Keeping your skin moist is important in getting and maintaining a nice tan. Moist skin will tan better than dry skin. These tanning accelerator lotions should also contain nutrients to help your skin too. Some may even contain antioxidants that will possible keep your skin smoother longer. Other ingredients to look for are vitamin E and Aloe Vera. The point of a tanning accelerator is to help the body produce the melanin that will make your skin darker.

Do tanning accelerators work?

Yes they do. Depending on your skin type and how much sun you are taking in, you should see a tanning of your skin. You can find tan accelerators in cream, lotions, spray and gels. There are some that come in pill form, but they are not FDA approved. They may be safe, but I’d prefer an external treatment for my tan. You can see the difference on your skin in as little as 2 hours, but for most people it will be the next day when you start to see results.

The best way to use an accelerator for tanning is to use it while using a tanning bed. This will help “kick start” the tanning process while laying under those tanning bed bulbs and give you that great looking color. You should also apply it when hanging out in the sun to help maintain that tan.

How to begin using a tan accelerator lotion

So now you’re ready to get tan and look good. Where to begin? There are numerous places on the web to find the right tanning lotion for you. If you are not someone who tans a lot or has fair skin, you should look for a product that is formulated for you skin tone. If you are already a frequent tanner, then you can move up to a stronger type of accelerator. Look for the right one that will compliment your skin tone. You don’t want anything that would make you look unnatural and unhealthy, you want it to enhance your skin tone. If you are currently going to a tanning salon, ask the professional there for their opinions for what would be best for you. Ask around and see what other people are using and how they like their product. You can also read online reviews to find which ones might work for you. Some of the other things you will have to consider when using a tanning accelerator is if it has a heavy perfume smell. Another consideration is how it feels on your skin. I’m sure you don’t want to feel all sticky and greasy.

So there you have it. You now know how to use a tan accelerator and what to look for when purchasing one. Now its time for you to go out there and look your best!
