Finding The Best Tanning Accelerators For You

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning accelerators are agents that are specifically involved with the actual darkening of the skin. They do not form a coat, instead, they increase the levels of melanin in the epidermal or outermost layer of the skin. Melanin is released from melanocytes and is the pigment which determines the skin color. The more melanin that a person produces, the darker their skin will be.

The manufacturers of these accelerators take full advantage of this knowledge and have developed products to make tanning easier for you. By using the products as directed, you no longer have to spend hours getting a tan on the beach or in a salon. You will see the effects after even limited exposure to sunlight. The ability of these products to provide quick results, also places them under a lot of scrutiny. However, if you know what to look for, you are almost guaranteed an excellent product.

Your enhancing tanner should not have too many ingredients. Stick to those that provide the active ingredients, a myriad of oils, vitamins and the relevant preservatives. Any other ingredient is just too much and sometimes unnecessary.

Try to find products with one or more of the active ingredients: Psoralen, Tyrosine or Riboflavin. Psoralen and Tyrosine are both amino acids while Riboflavin is an essential vitamin also known as B12. It is thought that these compounds can increase melanin production and therefore darken skin. They also give the added bonus of strengthening the skin and giving it a healthy appearance.

Products with the aforementioned active ingredients that also have a host of beneficial oils and vitamins are usually the best choice. The oils help to moisturize the skin while also giving it a healthy and glowing appearance. The vitamins do the same thing and thus the combination gives the skin an extremely smooth appearance in terms of tone and also makes it soft to the touch.

Finding all the right ingredients in your tanning accelerators can make all the difference. It is important that you think about the overall health of your skin and not just the change in color. By following the tips above, you will know the best product for you.
