Indoor tanning accelerator can be a lotion, spray or pill available to help virtually anyone build and maintain a beautiful tan while used in conjunction with an indoor tanning machine. These tanning products are also known as tan promoters and they are simply magical products.
Indoor Tanning Accelerators are lotions designed to increase your body’s natural production of melanin. The active ingredients found in these products are protein enzymes called Tyrosine and Psoralen. Both of which are amino acids or proteins that are manufactured in the human body to use in skin pigmentation for skin tone and color. Indoor tan accelerators promise to speed up your natural tanning process to give you more color while spending less time in the tanning salon. They also offer the added benefit of containing many wonderful nutrients and oils to provide extra hydration for your skin which is key in optimizing your tanning potential.
Choosing the best Indoor Tanning Accelerator for you is critical in your tanning process. There are numerous accelerators currently on the market and you want to be well advised when it comes to choosing which one best suits your needs. For example, there are different levels of accelerators and you will need to make your choice based on your current skin type. If you are beginning with a fair skin tone and no base color you will want to purchase a level 1 or 2 product.
If you already have a base tan and your skin tends to tan easily then you may be able to move up to a level 3 or 4 product. You will also want to take notice if the product contains a bronzer. A tanning bronzer is going to instantly give you that sun kissed glow you are looking for but you do not want too much. Many people make the mistake of choosing the darkest tanning lotion available and then find their tan does not look natural. You want to choose a shade or two darker than your natural skin color to ensure that natural healthy look.
You may want to consult a local Indoor Tanning Professional to help you choose which product is best suited for your skin tone as well as your budget. The average cost of an indoor tanning bed accelerator in a drug store or department store is between $10 and $40, but some high end salons offer these products for as much as $80.
