Tan Accelerators FAQ:
What is a Tan Accelerator?
Tanning accelerators or tan promoters (not to be confused with self tanner) are methods that include either a lotion or pills to help increase the levels of melanin in the skin which causes the outer layer of the skin to darken naturally when exposed to UV rays.
This involves either laying in a tanning bed or sunbathing in the actual sun itself. While these methods are popular they are not healthy for the skin and can cause serious skin damage and possibly skin cancer.
What are the Ingredients in Most Tanning Accelerators?
Tanning promoters (accelerators) often contain one or both of the following ingredients, Psoralen and Tyrosine.
- Psoralen-an amino acid that comes from plant sources and citrus oils. It triggers skin cells to produce more melanin.
- Tyrosine-an amino acid that is said to stimulate skin cells to produce more melanin.
Are They Safe To Use?
It should be noted that there is NO SAFE way to get a sun tan. Neither psoralen nor tyrosine are FDA approved and they do cause your skin to be more sensitive to light. That being said, they do work which is why people continue to do it but any direct UV exposure without sunscreen is dangerous and not recommended.
