Tan Enhancers

My only vice is tanning. I don’t bake with baby oil like we used to but I don’t shy away from a few sun rays. I blame my upbringing in a rainy climate where we were forced to go outside to soak up every ray of sunshine before it would disappear again. I don’t think tan enhancers were invented yet back then.

Tan enhancers, available in various forms such as lotions, oils, and sprays, are designed to amplify and accelerate the tanning process. Infused with ingredients like bronzers, melanin boosters, and hydrating agents, these products work wonders to deepen and prolong your tan while keeping your skin moisturized and nourished.

One winner in this genre is Haarlemmer Bruin. It gives you an even tan in 3 hours. This potion contains a variety of oils: coconut, almond, sesame, lavender and bergamot to be exact. How do these create a nice even tan within 3 hours you may wonder? Your guess is as good as mine! It is their best kept secret. But the proof is in the pudding: it delivered.

Be careful with tan enhancers without SPF. Make sure you always put a sunscreen on your skin underneath it. One of my next blogs will be about SPF’s since there’s a whole other science behind that then I was aware of.

The downside to this particular product is that it’s only sold in Dutch territories. I stocked up on a recent trip to the Dutch Antilles. I have heard whispers of a self tanner by Haarlemmer Bruin which would be even more amazing and less damaging to my skin altogether. A great excuse for another trip.

Overall tan enhancers are your go-to companions for achieving a golden glow in no time. So, bid farewell to sunburns and uneven tans, and say hello to effortless radiance with tan enhancers. Just don’t forget adding a protective layer!
