Best tan accelerators for sunbeds or outdoor tanning to help give you a sun-kissed glow

Source: Tan-Luxe

My sun-deprived skin is feeling the effects of (what feels like) a lifetime of winter.

If this drawn-out cold has revealed anything about my personality, it’s that I suffer dramatically from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I need regular bouts of sun exposure to lift my mood and more often than not, London falls short.

Regular jaunts to far-flung sun-soaked destinations may just be the only solution (budget allowing), but if you’re looking to make the most of the vitamin D fix and get real bang for your buck where the holiday glow is concerned, you’ll be interested in what a tan accelerator has to offer.

What is a tan accelerator?

Tan accelerators come in many forms. You have the lotions and potions that you apply while you’re in the sun to maximise the bronzing benefits of the UV rays (all while remaining protected with SPF to prevent the ageing UVA and burning UVB respectively from resulting in premature skin ageing). Or you have the prep or post products that encourage a more long-lasting tan, whether that’s from the beach or the bottle.
