An indoor tanning accelerator lotion is used to help maximize and enhance a base tan. These lotions are packed with moisturizers and nutrients. This is because a skin which is moisturized and nourished tans better and holds a tan longer. Unlike sunless tanning lotions, these products are designed for use with an ultra violet light source like a tanning bed. Their use accelerates the whole process and better results are obtained in less time.

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 selecting a product, the fact that there are so many choices can make this confusing. If shopping online, it is possible to compare products and prices more easily. Reviews can also be read. Skin type has to be taken into account when buying a product. If you have a light skin, you need to choose your product accordingly. If you choose the wrong accelerator you may end up with an unnatural looking tan.

It helps to examine ingredients in lotions when making a selection. Moisturizers can be anything from hemp seed oil to cocoa butter or avocado. Moist skin absorbs the ultra violet rays, while dry skin tends to reflect them. When skin is moisturized, the tan also lasts longer. When you tan without moisturizers your skin dehydrates, starts to look older and more wrinkled. You may not see this right away, but aging and damaged skin is not the result you want to wake up to one day.

Lotions also usually include nutrients like vitamins and minerals. They help to hydrate and repair skin, enabling you to achieve a healthier looking tan. Key nutrients and antioxidants are also crucial for your body to produce and oxidize melanin. When these nutrients are readily available, you tan more easily.

There are lotions which contain many special ingredients that cause bronzing, tingling and cooling. These ingredients have an immediate effect before the skin has had time to darken naturally from exposure to the ultra violet light. Accelerators do not usually contain these ingredients and focus instead on developing a natural tan.

If used correctly, lotions give you more control over the evenness of your tan. You can apply more to areas that are not as dark as others and apply less to areas that are more tanned than others. This helps you to maintain an even tan.

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.
