Tanning accelerator is the magic bullet us pale folks have been waiting for! Finally, we can get a gorgeous natural tan without having to roast ourselves in the sun for hours.

How It Works?

A tanning accelerator lotion increases the production of a melanin, a protein pigment in our skin. It is melanin which is largely responsible for giving us our natural skin color. People with darker skin therefore have more melanin in their skin makeup. When melanin reacts with UV rays it causes the skin to tan. A tan accelerator is there to help intensify this process and get quicker results from smaller amounts of UV exposure time.

How To Use it?

The best way to use outdoor tan accelerators like Elemis is to start applying it 5-6 days before the date that you plan to start tanning, whether this for vacation or in tanning beds etc. This gives the lotion enough time to increase the production of melanin in your skin -  and have it waiting for the UV rays . It is important to keep wearing sun block during the day while experiencing prolonged periods of sun exposure. Continue to apply the accelerator lotion at night after your time on the beach. You can also continue to use it after your UV exposure time has ended, as the tanning accelerator will keep your golden look for longer than usual.

Guidlines

As said, always continue to wear sunblock and don’t over-do-it with the sun exposure. Remember, tanning accelerators reduce the amount of time you need to spend in the sun – and produce great results.

Do not apply tanning accelerator directly before going on a tanning bed. These lotions are not designed for indoor use and will likely damage the acrylics of the bed. There are special indoor tan accelerators for salon use, so purchase these if this is the way you plan to tan.

The CalSun face tanning unit works in the same fashion as a regular tanning bed. The lamps output UV light in the form of UVA and UVB. In most modern tanning units UVB light, which is the culprit for sun-burn, is restricted dramatically and UVA light, that which is responsible for the tanning effect, is amplified. UVA light reacts with melanin, a protein pigment found in our skin, which causes the tanning process.

Proper Use:

Treat the Calsun home face tanning unit like you would a regular tanning bed. Do not over-use and stick to the recommended guidelines.

For better results use a product such as Designer Skin’s; Spellbound indoor tanning lotion. These lotions are specifically designed to increase melanin production in your skin. More melanin reacting with more UVA = nice golden tan!

Do not use a sunblock. The SPF’s in the sunblock will reduce the effectiveness of the machine. Adjust your session time and the frequencies of the sessions to protect yourself against over exposure. By using an indoor tanning lotion or tan accelerator, like Elemis, you will get results faster and therefore not need to use the CalSun so much in order to build a base tan.

The best place to buy the CalSun is online. Here you will find the product at much more attractive rates compared to local stores.
