Choosing An Indoor Tanning Accelerator Lotion Product

By Haywood Hunter


An indoor tanning accelerator lotion maximizes and enhances the ability of the body to tan naturally. It is usually loaded with moisturizers as a hydrated skin tans much better and retains a tan for longer. It also contains nutrients aimed at keeping skin as healthy as possible. These products are designed to be applied before being exposed to ultra violet rays during a tanning session. Using these products also means that it does not take as long to obtain excellent results.

The reason this is possible is because it works by increasing the production of melanin in skin cells. This in turn allows more ultra violet light to be absorbed. Melanin is found naturally in skin and the more melanin, the darker the skin. When applied to skin, ingredients like Tyrosine and Psoralen found in these lotions give the melanin in the cells a wake-up call. Production of melanin goes up and from the moment UV exposure begins, it is more effective.

When selecting a product, the fact that there are so many choices can make this confusing. If shopping online, it is possible to compare products and prices more easily. Reviews can also be read. Skin type has to be taken into account when buying a product. If you have a light skin, you need to choose your product accordingly. If you choose the wrong accelerator you may end up with an unnatural looking tan.

It helps to examine ingredients in lotions when making a selection. Moisturizers can be anything from hemp seed oil to cocoa butter or avocado. Moist skin absorbs the ultra violet rays, while dry skin tends to reflect them. When skin is moisturized, the tan also lasts longer. When you tan without moisturizers your skin dehydrates, starts to look older and more wrinkled. You may not see this right away, but aging and damaged skin is not the result you want to wake up to one day.

Many nutrients may be included in these lotions as well because a nourished skin produces a healthy tan. Ingredients like vitamin B6 and vitamin E are essential for repairing skin. When the right nutrients and antioxidants are available, your skin responds better and tans more easily.

There are lotions which contain many special ingredients that cause bronzing, tingling and cooling. These ingredients have an immediate effect before the skin has had time to darken naturally from exposure to the ultra violet light. Accelerators do not usually contain these ingredients and focus instead on developing a natural tan.

If used correctly, lotions give you more control over the evenness of your tan. You can apply more to areas that are not as dark as others and apply less to areas that are more tanned than others. This helps you to maintain an even tan.

If you do not use an indoor tanning accelerator lotion, you will need to spend more time exposed to the UV rays. This not only costs you more but it also subjects your skin to more damage. Your skin will dry out more and age faster. Application of one of these products helps to counteract any negative effects and leaves skin feeling healthy.
