Tan accelerator – benefits

• Promotes a quicker and more even tan.
• Prepares the skin for sunbathing and protects it against damage.
• Enhances the golden colour of your skin.
• Goes on easily and is absorbed fast.
• Enhances the natural appearance of your tan.

How do tan-enhancing sprays and creams work?

A tan enhancer, also called a tan booster, contains a complex of active ingredients such as L-tyrosine, which stimulate melanin production in the skin during tanning either naturally or on a sun bed. It also contains nourishing ingredients, vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which protect the skin against dehydration and help with regeneration.

Please note: Tan accelerators don’t usually contain any sun protection factors against UVA and UVB rays, meaning that they can’t be used instead of sunscreen. In this case, you must combine your tan accelerator with high-quality sun care with SPF. Some brands make a 2-in-1 sunscreen and tan accelerator, so you should always make sure to read the product information and instructions carefully.

How can you tan quickly in the sun without burning?

Make sure to prepare your skin thoroughly for sun exposure and it will repay you with an even and healthy-looking tan without unwanted flakiness. How do I go about it?

• Before the start of your tanning season, make sure to remove any dead skin cells. Reach for a body scrub, which will ensure that your tan is nice and even.
• Take tanning vitamins several weeks before sunbathing – they will prepare the skin, protect it against free radicals and enhance its golden appearance.
• Start applying tan accelerator to your skin once a day at least 14 days before sunbathing.
• Before every sunbathing session, use a generous amount of sunscreen with protection against UVA and UVB light. Reapply after every two to three hours spent in the sun.
• Simply apply the tan enhancer evenly to your skin after using sunscreen with SPF.
• Do not spend too much time in the sun and avoid sun exposure around noon, which is when you are most susceptible to getting sunburnt.
• Immediately after tanning, soothe your skin with an after-sun cream, which works with the tan activator to make your tan last even longer, whilst also moisturising your skin and preventing flakiness.
