Whether you're a seasoned sunbed enthusiast or just starting your journey to a beautiful bronze, choosing the right lotion is paramount. SuperTan understands this, offering a diverse range designed to cater to every skin type, tanning goal, and preference. From luxurious accelerators to powerful bronzers and even exhilarating tingles, they've got something for everyone. Let's unwrap the magic of SuperTan and explore some of their standout products available right here at MEGATAN!

The SuperTan Philosophy: Innovation Meets Skincare

What truly sets SuperTan apart is their commitment to not just delivering a stunning tan, but also to nourishing and caring for your skin. Their European roots bring a sophisticated approach to formulation, often incorporating hydrating ingredients, skin conditioners, and cutting-edge bronzing technology. They understand that a beautiful tan starts with healthy, well-prepped skin, and their products reflect this philosophy beautifully.

Accelerators: Your Foundation for a Deeper Tan

Accelerators are the backbone of any good tanning routine. They don't contain bronzers (either instant or DHA-based), but instead focus on boosting your skin's natural melanin production, allowing you to achieve a faster, deeper, and more even tan from your UV sessions. SuperTan offers some fantastic options in this category:

• SuperTan Celebration (£19.78): This beauty is a bronzer-free, DHA-free tanning accelerator lotion. It's designed to support a natural, deeper-looking tan during UV exposure, relying on a hydrating hydro-gel base to keep skin moisturised and comfortable. Perfect if you prefer a pure, natural tan without any cosmetic colourants.
• SuperTan Palm Beach (£19.78): A gel-based tanning accelerator that works to intensify, strengthen, and prolong your tan. What makes this stand out is its infusion with hyaluronic acid, delivering intense hydration to help your skin feel soft and rejuvenated. Hydration is key to a long-lasting tan!
• SuperTan Forever Tanning Intensifier (£23.99): This cosmetic tanning accelerator/intensifier lotion is all about developing a natural-looking tan while caring for your skin. It's a hydrating, bronzer-free formula designed for both indoor and outdoor use, even offering moisturisation and anti-aging benefits. A true skincare hero for your tan!
• SuperTan Infinity Tan Ultra Accelerator (£19.98): For those seeking rapid and intense colour development, this is your go-to. A cosmetic tanning accelerator lotion designed for indoor UV sessions, it conditions the skin with a moisturising base and a delightful fragrance. No classical self-tanning agents here, just pure acceleration power.

Bronzers: Instant Gratification & Long-Lasting Colour

Bronzers are fantastic for those who want a more immediate colour boost alongside their natural tan. SuperTan's range includes various types of bronzers, from natural (DHA-free) to hybrid (DHA + Instant) and even DHA-only options. Let's break them down:

• SuperTan California Love (£20.68): This is a Hybrid Bronzer (DHA + Instant) that acts as both a tan accelerator and a bronzer. It helps you achieve a faster, deeper tan while conditioning the skin. The emulsion cream-lotion base, combined with colour-creating agents and a tropical fragrance, makes it perfect for indoor and outdoor sessions. Expect faster, deeper-looking colour development!
• SuperTan Hollywood Legs Dark Bronzer (£19.99): Legs can be notoriously tricky to tan evenly, but SuperTan has you covered! This Hybrid Bronzer (DHA + Instant) is specifically designed for leg-focused tanning in indoor environments. It blends cosmetic colour with a bronzing effect for a darker leg appearance quickly. A fantastic targeted solution in a convenient 135ml tube.
• SuperTan Hemp Chill (£19.98): If you love a good natural bronzer that's also super hydrating, Hemp Chill is for you. This DHA-free bronzer for indoor tanning delivers intense cosmetic colour while nourishing and hydrating the skin. It blends hemp-derived elements with mango butter for ultimate skin conditioning and comfort.
• SuperTan Pineapple & Mango Triple Bronzer (£17.98): Get ready for a tropical treat! This DHA Bronzer is a cosmetic sunbed/indoor tanning lotion that enhances colour and hydrates. Its triple bronzing action aims for deeper, more instant colour while maintaining skin moisture for a smoother finish. Yum!
• SuperTan Beauty Creation Natural Bronzer (£19.78): Another excellent choice for a DHA-free bronzer. This tanning accelerator and bronzer lotion delivers a natural-looking tan while nourishing your skin. It's all about that beautiful, subtle glow without DHA.

Tingle Bronzers: For the Adventurous Tanner!

Tingle lotions are not for the faint of heart, but for those who love them, they are irreplaceable! They create a warming or tingling sensation on the skin, which increases microcirculation, bringing more oxygen to the skin's surface and potentially intensifying your tan. SuperTan offers some exciting tingle options:

• SuperTan Dark Sauna (£17.98): Prepare for an intense experience! This tingle bronzer is designed for indoor tanning beds and outdoor sun exposure. It delivers an intense bronze with a sauna-like warming sensation and a built-in bronzer system. With DHA and erythrulose, it helps develop colour as you tan, offering a noticeable thermo/tingle experience.
• SuperTan Tropical Fruits Tingle Deep Bronzer (£16.98): Another fantastic hybrid bronzer (DHA + Instant) with a tingle kick! This cosmetic tanning lotion deepens colour when used with UV exposure. It blends DHA self-tanning chemistry with cosmetic bronzers and a vasodilatory 'tingle' component to deliver a deeper, bronzed look while helping skin feel comfortable during application. Expect deep, bronzed colour development!

Jessie-Lee's Top Tanning Tips for Using SuperTan

To get the absolute best out of your SuperTan lotions and ensure a safe, stunning tan every time, here are my golden rules:

• Patch Test First: Always, always, ALWAYS do a patch test 24-48 hours before full application, especially with bronzers or tingle lotions, to check for any skin sensitivities or allergies.
• Exfoliate & Moisturise: For an even, streak-free tan, gently exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your tanning session. Hydrated skin tans better and holds colour longer. SuperTan's hydrating bases are a great start, but consistent moisturising is key!
• Apply Evenly: Take your time and apply your SuperTan lotion evenly across your skin. Pay extra attention to drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
• Wash Hands Thoroughly: After applying any bronzing lotion, wash your hands immediately and thoroughly to avoid stained palms.
• Start Low, Go Slow (Especially with Tingles): If you're new to tingle lotions, start with a shorter session and wait to see how your skin reacts. The sensation can be intense, so it's best to ease into it.
• Listen to Your Skin: Never over-expose your skin to UV. Always adhere to recommended tanning times and give your skin a break between sessions.
• Aftercare is Key: Extend the life of your tan by moisturising daily with a good quality after-sun or tan extender lotion. Hydrated skin = longer-lasting tan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between an accelerator and a bronzer? A: An accelerator, like SuperTan Celebration, works to stimulate your skin's natural melanin production for a deeper, natural tan without adding cosmetic colour. A bronzer, such as SuperTan California Love, contains ingredients (like DHA, erythrulose, or instant cosmetic bronzers) that provide immediate or developing colour to enhance your tan, often alongside accelerating properties.

Q: Can I use SuperTan lotions outdoors or just indoors? A: Many SuperTan lotions, like SuperTan California Love and SuperTan Forever Tanning Intensifier, are formulated for both indoor sunbed use and outdoor sun exposure. However, remember that none of these lotions contain SPF, so always apply a separate, adequate sunscreen when tanning outdoors to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Q: What does a 'tingle' lotion do, and is it safe? A: Tingle lotions, like SuperTan Dark Sauna, contain ingredients that increase microcirculation in the skin, causing a warming, reddening, and tingling sensation. This can intensify your tan. They are safe for most people, but always perform a patch test first. They are not recommended for sensitive skin, facial use, or beginners, and the sensation can be quite strong.

Q: Are SuperTan products suitable for all skin types? A: SuperTan offers a wide variety of products, and while many are suitable for most skin types, it's crucial to check individual product descriptions. For example, tingle lotions are not recommended for sensitive skin. If you have specific skin concerns, always consult with a skincare professional or do a patch test.

Q: How do I choose the right SuperTan product for me? A: Consider your tanning goals: Do you want a natural tan (accelerator)? Do you need an instant colour boost (bronzer)? Are you looking for an intense experience (tingle)? Also, think about your skin type (sensitive vs. normal) and desired hydration levels. The descriptions above and on our MEGATAN product pages provide detailed information to help you decide. Don't hesitate to ask our salon staff for personalised recommendations!
