Best tan accelerator?

[stephy]

Hi
I have quite pale skin and don’t tan very easy. I also suffer from prickly heat/heat rash so am going to use Ultrasun in Florida next month. I really want to use a tan accelerator though as id like some colour but Ultrasun customer services said to put the sun cream on first then the accelerator so im looking for either one you use before you go or one that goes on after the sunscreen
Thanks x

The Fox Tan is one that I have seen fairly good reviews on, it is available in superdrug (sure other places as well). I have used the mist and got a lovely colour. But I have also been using the sunbed once a week to help get a basetan and then the sunangel sunbed a few times which I think is great!

Zhuch (sp) is really good and I’ve had the best tans using that. Gatineau is good too and they always have good deals on qvc. Decleor also do one but it doesn’t go as far as the other two!

Best I've used is the Malibu one at around £3.

I've used zhuzh which I get off ideal world shopping channel, often on a good offer might be worth checking out, my daughter has typical snow white complexion, pale skin but dark hair she never gets much of a tan but she used the fox tan and a few sunbed sessions before going to cyprus a few weeks ago and came back a lovely colour

These products you talk about guys, do they go on under sunscreen or over it?

We use Zhuzh! Tan Accelerator and have done for years with great results, at the moment Ideal World have a deal for a Trio (2 x 200ml, 1 x 100ml) for 21.99 with a further 10% off with the code 101010

Under the sunscreen

the Fox tan cream goes underneath and you use that everyday (if you want to) but the spray mist goes over the suncream.

If you google it you should see some reviews and it will explain best way to apply it. x

I’m pale - I used to fake tan (the best ones being moisturisers that I’d use at night like Dove etc). Now I don’t bother and just accept I won’t go brown. I’m not sure why a tan accelerator is going to work if your skin doesn’t have the melanin in the first place. I’d also be v careful if skin damage if you are pale. There is the obvious risk of skin cancer, but also aging. My younger sister tried to tan and now when anyone meets us they think she’s the oldest ! When we are together you can really notice the damage to her skin - it’s thinner and had more age spots.

Sorry, Don’t mean to be a party pooper, but having spent time is Oz , I’m bit fan of their Slip, Slop, Slap campaign and a dash of self tan if you are conscious of your colouring
