If you’re new to tanning or have pale/sensitive skin, we would recommend beginning with an accelerator/maximiser lotion. Most beginner accelerators contain great elements for combating the signs of ageing,  such as CoQ-10. Ideal for building up a base tan, beginner accelerators are non-tingle and don’t contain bronzers. 

The next step up and most popular type of tanning accelerator is the bronzer. There are two types of bronzer: the immediate and delayed. The great advantage of bronzers is that they combine DHA and active ingredients to give instant dark results and long-lasting colour, yet continue to develop after a tanning session to continually improve your tan. 

Tingle lotions do what they say on the tin – they give your skin a tingling sensation after applying the lotion. Why do they do this? Basically, the lotion brings the blood to the surface of your skin to boost the effect that UV rays have, thus allowing you to achieve a deeper, darker tan much quicker. Tingle lotions are perfect for people who are looking to achieve an extremely deep tan and are not at all suitable for beginners. Be careful – as tingle lotions should not be used by people with sensitive skin. 

Tip – Don’t be shocked if your skin is red after application, as it will be for roughly an hour. It may look like you’re sunburnt, but the redness will fade quickly.
