Tanning accelerators and intensifiers are the most popular and most highly recommended type of indoor sun tanning lotion at Sun Tan City. Both Tan Accelerator and Tan Intensifier lotions have a specific purpose that helps you boost results. Read on to see how these lotions differ and how important they both are for getting the sun tanning results you crave.

1. Tan Accelerators - Primarily, Tan Accelerators help you build your initial base tan. They deliver essential moisture and nutrients to your skin that can help jumpstart the tanning process. These products are made specifically for tanners who are just getting started with developing their initial color. We often call these "Step One" tanning lotions.
   
   Examples of some of our best-selling Step One Tan Accelerators:
   
   • Blend® Premium Pure Lotion and Bronzer
   • Blend® Essentials Pure Lotion and Bronzer
   • Blend® Essentials Men's Pure Lotion


2. Tan Intensifiers - These special lotions, sometimes called "Tanning Plateau" Intensifiers, are for regular tanners who have reached a plateau with their current color. They may have developed light base tans, but can't seem to get the deep, dark color they're really after. "Tanning Plateau" Intensifiers can kick your suntan into overdrive, taking your skin from having a nice bit of color to a deep, dark tan. We call these "Step Two" tanning lotions.
   
   Examples of some of our best-selling Step Two Tan Intensifiers:
   
   • Blend® Premium Pure Lotion and Bronzer
   • Blend® Essentials Pure Lotion and Bronzer
   • Blend® Essentials Natural
   • Blend® Essentials Men's Bronzer

Although all of the lotions listed may be labeled as "accelerators" or "intensifiers," each one has an individual set of advantages and benefits.
