Here comes the sun - electromagnetic radiation travelling at the speed of light - ready to pelt your skin with high frequencies of destructive and invisible ultraviolet light capable of burning, ageing and damaging it.

Your skin is the body's first line of defence against life threatening injury and infection and, ironically, even against life giving sunlight. But once damaged by ultraviolet light, skin is often more vulnerable to future UV damage, from sunburn to skin cancer, and as the skin's health degenerates, the body becomes more susceptible to disease.

Using the sun to stimulate the increase in melanin is a slow tanning process and often results in sunburn before the skin forms enough pigmentation to protect itself.

Tanacity Tanning Accelerator helps prepare the skin for UV exposure by enhancing melanin production - your body's own protective tanning response.

By increasing melanin levels in epidermal cells, your body produces a dark pigment that absorbs light energy found in both visible and invisible (ultraviolet) portions of the light spectrum.
