These days it seems like everyone is trying to stay ahead of the tanning curve and keep their once milky white complexion a darker color all through the year. Tanning beds provide that much needed relief from the throws of cold winter days when all of your skins summer pigment vanishes in a matter of weeks. tanning bed accelerator has been a constant for the last decade because it helps tan the skin at a much faster rate. Be in a tanning bed or even outdoors it seems all the women are using it to get darker quicker which equals less time in the sun so it would seem.
Truth is many people use it to get a deeper darker tan but do not use any kind of SPF to go along with it and therefore skin damage becomes their number one enemy. UV light is very damaging to the skin either in a tanning bed or outside in the sun itself. If you dont believe me then look at a person who is fifty years old and been in the sun all their life with no sunscreen. Their face will be old and wrinkly looking. However I bet if you saw their backside that never sees the light of day it would be as smooth as it was thirty years ago. This is because the sun damages our skin from the day we step foot outside. Most of us do not take the necessary precautions to help ensure it does as little damage as possible.
Tan accelerator does not have to be the enemy as long as you use it intelligently. There are accelerators with spf as well as moisturizers to keep the skin from drying out. This is when the most damage occurs and tanning lotions or sprays that have the damage fighting inhibitors will help make sure you stay looking young. Be smart educate yourself on indoor tanning lotions, accelerators, and sunscreens so you can get a nice looking tan without getting skin cancer down the road.
