Why You Should Consider An Indoor Tanning Lotion Accelerator

By Haywood Raptis


No matter what part of the world a person is from, healthy glowing skin is always alluring. For some, living in sunny areas of the globe automatically means a golden glow. For others, the lack of sunlight casts a pale tone. Either way, the sun in all of its glory still requires caution. Therefore, rather than worrying about possible sunburns, cancers, and premature aging, using an indoor tanning lotion accelerator helps to get similar results with less risk.

Accelerators can be found in pill, lotions, or spray forms. Most often these products are used in conjunction with the beds in salons. Most users of these popular promotions enjoy the benefits while being able to control their exposure to UV rays. Exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays are the top reasons for signs of aging of the skin, the area around the eyes, and the neck.

There has be some confusion regarding the differences between accelerators and intensifiers. In general, accelerators are used for starting off the process. When using a bed at a salon, most individuals start off with their regular skin tone. By applying the smooth salve, it allows the melanin to build up faster than not using anything at all.

On the other hand, an intensifier is generally considered a more advanced product. These oil-based items darken the shade that is already established. These are usually not recommended for people with fairer tones, as they could increase the chance of burning. If, however, a deeper bronzed color is the goal, it can be achieved with these.

These products are formulated to increase the body's melanin production. It is that natural chemical that is known to give a person freckles as well as a tan. Each brand has its own blend of active ingredients which are proteins or amino acids that are naturally made in the body. Pigmentation varies depending on ethnicity, genetics, and exposure.

A benefit of using these creams is their ability to provide moisture to the skin that can dry out due to exposure. The liquid contains vitamins and minerals that work with the natural body sytems. Thus, there is a layer of protection form any free radicals or pollutants in the air. When used consistently, there should be little brittleness in the skin.

It is best to apply the lotion 1-2 hours before tanning. This allows skin the time to absorb the balm and maximize the session. Customers are encouraged to apply a moisturizer after completing their sessions, as well. Refrain from taking a shower immediately. Waiting an average of three to four hours afterwards to shower gives the body time to complete the process while locking in moisture.

With a few simple steps, an indoor tanning lotion accelerator can give an individual the deep, healthy glow that looks stunning. Even better, when a solid base tan has been reached there is no need to continue going to the salon daily. Once maintenance is reached, the color can be kept by going two to three times weekly. It is this phase which really provides the freedom from the harmful UVA and UVB rays. By continuing this process, and using the products as intended, a gorgeous tan all year long can be a reality.
