What is a tanning accelerator and how to get a tan faster (and with less risk)

We know well that

exposure to the sun

is a potential 'danger', so perhaps it is time to introduce the concept of

tanning accelerator

into the summer beauty vocabulary

Because despite the fact that today we already know, with data in hand, that we must not ignore, all the 'minor'

illnesses

, or aesthetic, that the skin can suffer when the sun hits it -

wrinkles and early spots, flaccidity ... it

is estimated that up to

80% of the

external

aging

of the skin is due to it- and

the 'major evils'

that affect the whole organism -melanoma is the most frequent-, having the face and body

with a healthy tan

is still the downfall of many.

A subsection:

the sun has its good things,

and so good - let's not just sing its bad things - as it helps us to synthesize vitamin D, and it puts us in a wonderful good mood.

Precisely to be able to look good little color without side effects of various kinds, there are cosmetics such as self-tanners, which color the skin, and sun powders, which make-up, which increasingly present newer formulas and

easier-

to-apply

textures

And then we have

tanning accelerators or activators,

somewhat less popular, as they are sometimes 'hidden' in other products, such as

sunscreens

, which can achieve a

natural tan without dyeing,

coloring or making up the skin.

So what is a tanning accelerator? Well, it can be from

a cosmetic

to a complex of

assets within a product.

What it achieves is to

accelerate the production of melanin

and / or stimulate its synthesis, increasing its presence in melanocytes and helping a

correct distribution at the level of the epidermis.

We remember that melanin is

our natural sunscreen,

the one that defends us from radiation like spf from the body, and that tanning is nothing but that response to solar attack.

The point is that, as

the dermatologist Andrea Combalia comments, melanin

does not respond in the same way in all skins: "The darker ones have a

greater capacity

to activate this defense system, their melanocytes work more when stimulated by rays. UV and have

more basal melanin

that oxidizes faster, so they are

better protected

and tan more -and sooner- ".

On the other hand,

lighter skin

has less pre-existing melanin to oxidize and

the melanocytes are not as efficient,

that is why they tan slower - or do not - with less intensity, or they directly burn.

And the same happens to skins that are already so young, because as with collagen or elastin, over the years the production of melanin decreases.

And it is precisely in this type of skin, the whitest sensitive, where a tanning accelerator can be

the key to a complete photoprotection,

since it achieves a uniform and beautiful tone with

less exposure time,

at the same time it stimulates the synthesis of melanin for a stronger defense.

The different cosmetic firms manage to activate the tan and

the defensive barriers

either with their own proprietary complexes or with

certain natural ingredients, such

as the

sweet orange blossom

extract

that they use in the

Sun Sensitive

line

from Lancaster.

And these actives and complexes are included either in

ad hoc cosmetics

or in sunscreens.

Of course, if you choose an accelerator product that is not a sunscreen, never forget to

apply a powerful spf afterwards.
