Summer is usually the time of the year when we all take advantage of the opportunity to get that golden color that we all love to show off. But achieving this is not as simple as it seems, either because we can’t go on vacation, we don’t have a friend or family member with a pool, or simply because our skin doesn’t tan as easily. Fortunately, there is an alternative that can help us make the most of every minute in the sun.

Tanning accelerators have formulas specially designed to get the most out of the sun’s rays. Its ingredients contribute to intensify the formation of melanin, the pigment that gives color to our skin, achieving a natural tan much faster.

It is important to remember that melanin is responsible for protecting our skin from ultraviolet rays. In fact, tanning is a natural skin protection process in which melanin acts as a natural filter, activated by radiation. Tanning accelerators work in a similar way, so unlike self-tanners they require sun exposure to achieve their objective.

In contrast to what happens when we sunbathe with a normal sunscreen, tan accelerators contain a synthesis of amino acids necessary to give our skin that characteristic summer tan. Most also have UVB filters to protect against cell oxidation and premature aging.
