Tanning Accelerators
Posted by GuestPoster in Personal Improvement
The use of tanning accelerators has become increasingly popular in recent years. Everyone wants to get that quick tan without all the work of laying out for hours a day. While that is a normal quick and easy way of doing things it can be dangerous if not done properly and safely. The way a tanning accelerator works is it typically contains two amino acids, psoralen and tyrosine which help promote the building of the body’s protein melanin. Melanin is directly responsible for how tan a persons skin is. The darker your complexion the more melanin your body produces naturally.
So if you have fair skin and want a darker tone then you need increased melanin production which can be obtained by a tanning product or accelerator. That said the dangers of tan accelerators are that people tend to use them without using sunscreen as they are less effective and that can double your risk for skin cancer. Psoralen causes a persons skin to be more sensitive to UV rays and if used with a person that has light melanin low skin can be a cancer risk big time.
