TANNING ACCELERATOR LOTIONS
Moisturisation is essential in the tanning process. Accelerator lotions are specifically formulated to condition the skin whilst replenishing essential vitamins. In addition to providing moisture, accelerator lotions carry ingredients that trigger the melanocyte cells to produce more melanin, the pigment in the skin. This in turn is what helps you tan quicker.
Key benefits of using a tanning lotion;
- Increases your tanning potential as tanning lotions contain ingredients such as Tyrosin which stimulates the production of melanin.
- Keeps skin hydrated by replacing moisture that is lost through UV rays.
- Moisturising effect of the lotions prevents skin drying and promotes skin longevity.
- Reduces skin aging as lotions contain ingredients such as Vitamin E, that make your skin look younger.
- Instant colour with lotions that contain bronzing agents.
- Leads to a deeper longer lasting tan.
- If you are not using a sunbed lotion, your skin will reflect as much as half of the UV energy so you will spend longer in the sunbed to achieve your desired tanning results.
What are the different types of tanning lotions?
Natural Bronzing
Natural bronzing lotions enhance the skins natural tanning potential by utilising agents that occur naturally, and some of these ingredients include Henna, Walnut Oil, Kola Nut, Caramel and Carrot Oil. Bronzers enable people to achieve greater results from their tanning experience, more quickly.
Hot Tingle
Hot tingle lotions enable you to feel and see your tan working immediately. Ingredients help stimulate rapid circulation on the surface of the skin, creating an extreme redness and warming/tingling sensation to enhance the intensity and appearance of a tan. Tingle factors vary from range to range, giving you a moderate to extreme tingle. The effect is temporary and can last up to several hours.
Warning: we recommend testing a small area of the skin before using a tingle product. Tingle products should not be used by beginner tanners or those with sensitive skin.
