  • What’s the Difference Between Tingle, Accelerator, and Bronzer Creams?

    Choosing the right sunbed cream can make a big difference in your tanning results. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the right one for your skin and tanning goals:


    Accelerator Creams

    These are perfect for beginners or those with fair or sensitive skin.


    Help kickstart your natural tanning process by stimulating melanin production.


    Usually contain moisturizing ingredients to keep your skin soft and hydrated.


    No added colour – just helps you build a natural tan faster.


    Best for: Beginners or those building a base tan.


    Bronzer Creams

    These contain added colour (natural or cosmetic bronzers) for an instant tan boost.


    Give you immediate colour while your natural tan develops underneath.


    Wash-off or gradual bronzers depending on the product.


    Some also contain DHA for longer-lasting colour.


    Best for: Anyone wanting deeper, more noticeable colour – fast.


    Tingle Creams

    Designed for experienced tanners only.


    Increase blood flow and oxygen to the skin, boosting melanin production.


    Create a warm, tingling or reddening sensation that fades after a while.


    Can result in a deeper, darker tan – but not recommended for sensitive skin.


    Best for: Advanced tanners looking for maximum colour and who can handle the heat.


    💡 Tip: If you’re new to tanning or unsure, start with an accelerator before moving on to bronzers or tingle creams.

  • Why Is It Better to Use a Cream for Sunbed Tanning?

    Using a tanning cream during sunbed sessions isn’t just a nice extra — it actually helps you get better, faster, and longer-lasting results. Here’s why:


    1. Boosts Your Tan

    Tanning creams are specially formulated to stimulate melanin production, which is what gives your skin that golden glow.

    You’ll tan faster and deeper than you would with dry skin.


    2. Prevents Dry Skin

    UV light can dry out your skin. Tanning creams are packed with moisturizers that keep your skin hydrated, soft, and smooth — which helps your tan last longer and fade more evenly.


    3. Protects and Nourishes

    Many creams contain skin-loving ingredients like vitamins, aloe vera, and antioxidants that protect and repair your skin during tanning.


    4. Maximises Your Session

    Without cream, up to 50% of the UV light can be reflected off dry skin. Using a cream helps your skin absorb the light more effectively, so you get the most out of every session.


    💡 In short: A good tanning cream isn’t just about luxury — it’s essential for healthier skin, deeper colour, and longer-lasting results.
