Finding The Best Tanning Accelerators For You

By Haywood Hunter


Agents that actually darken the skin, instead of just coating it are known as tanning accelerators. They perform this action by causing the increased production of melanin, a pigment in the epidermal layer of the skin. This pigment is responsible for skin color and the more of it you have, the darker your 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.


Stick to products with the necessary ingredients. These are the active ingredients, natural oils and skin strengthening vitamins and minerals. Others that have too many "miscellaneous" ingredients are usually less beneficial to the overall health of the skin.

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.

These active ingredients are then combined with a host of beneficial oils and vitamins. These form an essential part of skin care because they are absorbed by the skin and contribute a natural glow. In addition, they also help with toning and softening which are two unexpected but welcomed advantages of using a product of this nature.

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.
