But it’s not just about the colour; these tan enhancers are packed with hydrating moisturisers, and nourishing skin conditioners. They help keep your skin soft, smooth and radiant, making your tan not only look better but last longer too.

From lightweight tanning accelerator lotions to sunbed creams and spray-on oils, there's something in our range to suit every tanning style. Use them before your sunbed session to speed up your tan. If you want to help lock in your tan and keep your skin feeling lush afterwards, take a look at our range of tax extenders.

FAQs

What are tan accelerators?

Tanning accelerators are creams, lotions or oils you apply to your skin to help you tan faster and deeper, especially when using a sunbed. They work by kickstarting your skin’s melanin production (that’s the stuff that makes you bronze) while keeping your skin hydrated and happy.

Do tanning accelerators work?

Tan accelerators help your skin respond more quickly to UV light, meaning you can build colour faster and get a richer, longer-lasting tan. They don’t magically tan you, but they definitely help your skin make the most of every session.

What ingredients do tan enhancers contain?

Tan accelerators are full of skin-friendly ingredients that help you tan faster and keep your skin in top shape. Ingredients like tyrosine speed up melanin production for a deeper tan, while carrot oil helps you go darker, quicker. Hydrating oils like argan, hemp seed and many others keep skin soft and smooth, and extracts like pomegranate add moisture and nutrients. Aloe and chamomile soothe the skin, collagen helps firm and refresh, and vitamins A, C, and E support healthy, glowing skin.

Do you use tan accelerator before or after sunbeds?

You’ll want to apply your tan accelerator just before your sunbed session; it’s designed to get to work while you tan, not after. For post-sunbed care, use a moisturiser or tan extender to keep your glow going and your skin feeling fresh.
