Learn the correct way to apply Pro Tan Hypoallergenic Dark Tan Accelerator for sensitive skin. Step-by-step instructions, tips, and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Apply Pro Tan Hypoallergenic Dark Tan Accelerator to clean, exfoliated skin before tanning. Massage evenly, then tan as usual. It helps sensitive skin develop a deeper, longer-lasting color.

Why Choose a Hypoallergenic Tan Accelerator?

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, standard tanning lotions may cause redness or itching. Pro Tan Hypoallergenic Dark Tan Accelerator uses calming extracts and mango seed butter to soothe while promoting melanin production. It’s designed for those who want color without irritation.

How It Works

Tan accelerators don’t contain bronzers or dyes. Instead, they boost your skin’s natural melanin response to UV exposure. The Pro Tan formula adds moisture to help the tan develop more evenly and last longer.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Exfoliate and Dry Your Skin: Shower and exfoliate 24 hours before tanning to remove dead skin cells. Pat dry completely. Do not apply any lotion, perfume, or deodorant before using the accelerator. Exfoliating too close to tanning can cause uneven absorption. Give it a full day.
2. Apply the Accelerator Evenly: Squeeze a quarter-sized amount into your palm. Rub hands together, then massage onto clean skin using circular motions. Cover all areas you plan to tan, including hard-to-reach spots like your back. Don’t glob it on. A thin, even layer works best. Too much can feel sticky and may not absorb.
3. Wait Before Tanning: Let the lotion absorb for 3-5 minutes. This prevents streaking and helps the accelerator bond with your skin. Use this time to put on protective eyewear and check your tanning bed settings. Tanning immediately after application can cause the lotion to slide off. A short wait improves results.
4. Tan as Usual: Enter the tanning bed or booth and follow your normal session time. The accelerator works with UV exposure to deepen color. Stay within your skin type’s recommended exposure limits. Don’t increase session time because you’re using an accelerator. Overexposure can still burn sensitive skin.
5. Moisturize After Tanning: After your session, rinse off any residue with cool water and pat dry. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to lock in hydration and prolong your tan. Skipping moisturizer can make the tan fade faster. Reapply daily for best results.
