Maximiser

Maximisers, also known as accelerators or intensifiers, are a cornerstone of effective indoor and outdoor tanning. Their primary function is to 'maximise' the skin's natural tanning potential by promoting melanin synthesis. This is achieved through a blend of carefully selected ingredients. Key components often include tyrosine, copper peptides, and other natural extracts that signal the skin to produce more melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning. Unlike bronzers, maximisers do not contain DHA or other self-tanning agents; they purely work with your body's natural tanning process. They are also rich in moisturisers and skin-conditioning agents, such as shea butter, coconut oil, and various vitamins, which are crucial for maintaining skin hydration. Well-hydrated skin tans more evenly and deeply, and the tan lasts longer. Therefore, maximisers not only boost colour development but also contribute to overall skin health and a smoother, more radiant finish, preventing the dry, flaky skin that can hinder tanning progress.
