Finding The Best Indoor Tanning Accelerator Lotion Product

By Haywood Hunter


An indoor tanning accelerator lotion is designed for use with a tanning bed which emits ultraviolet radiation. These products work with the natural ability of the body to tan and accelerates this process. They are also full of nutrients and moisturizers to hydrate and nourish skin. A moisturized skin tans better and is also able to hold on to a tan for longer.

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 buying a product like this, it is worth doing some research and reading reviews. There are many different products of this nature on the market and skin type is an important factor when making a choice. If you have a fair skin or no tan, your choice of product will obviously be different from someone with a darker skin. If the accelerator you choose is too dark for you, you can end up with an unnatural looking tan.

The moisturizers included in these products are very varied and may be anything from cocoa butter to hemp seed oil. You want to be sure that the best moisturizing ingredients are included as skin which is dry does not absorb UV rays as well. A well moisturized skin also retains a tan more effectively. When exposed to UV rays, skin can dry out very quickly and dry skin accelerates aging.

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 special ingredients which can be added to products which offer an immediate effect. These ingredients like bronzers hardly need any time before results appear. This is not the way accelerators work as they require some time for skin to darken when exposed to the UV rays.

When you use accelerators correctly, you can gain more control over your tan. You can make it more even by applying more lotion to areas which are lighter and less to areas which are darker. While applying these lotions, you should be slow and massage them in, making sure that you do not miss spots.

Too much exposure to UV rays can cause skin damage. By using a indoor tanning accelerator lotion you can cut down the time you are exposed to these UV rays and thereby cut down on possible damaging and aging of skin. You can also maintain your tan by going to the salon half the amount of times which is a great money saver.
