This cream helps to prepare the skin for exposure to the sun by increasing the skin’s melanin production. Which in turn helps to protect the skin from the sun. However, it is still very important to always use high factor sun protection creams whenever exposed to the sun.
This is what Elemis have to say about their Tan Accelerator;
“Prepare the body for exposure to the sun by stimulating its natural Melanin production in advance of your holiday. Fragrant Tahitian Gardenia, Macadamia and Jojoba Oil combined with a tan activating complex leaves skin beautifully conditioned. Excellent for sun-sensitive skins that always burn and for prolonging a tan.” (elemis.com)
A couple of my friends who have tried this product loved it and one that didn’t. My friends that loved it said it was the best tan they have ever had. That was with 2 weeks use everyday before going on holiday. I recommended this product to another friend who is quite fair skinned. She doesn’t normally tan but again using this product before her holiday and during she came home with a beautiful tan.
The one friend that didn’t like the product said they didn’t like the fragrance and it didn’t really make a difference to their tan.
For myself I have been using it for about a week now in preparation for my sunny holiday. What I can say is that if doesn’t increase my tan I will certainly have lovely soft skin.
So I say for only £18.00 it is worth giving it a go.
