Australian Gold Moisture Lock Tan Extender 473 ml Pump (2-Pack)

Product Information

Tan extenders in particular are specially formulated to target different skin issues. While any good tan extender should contain moisturizing ingredients, you may want to look for a product that also provides anti-aging benefits, or that promotes healing of damaged skin, or that provides extra moisture for very dry skin. Regardless of whether you got your tan naturally by being out in the sun or by using a sunless tanning product, tan extenders can help you hold onto your golden tone a little longer. Who wants to spend hours out in the sun and risk potential skin problems down the road, or spend more time putting on a tedious fake tanner, when you can just keep the skin tone you just achieved? Avoid Streaks and Patchiness Holika Holika's 99% Aloe Soothing Gel Actually Cooled and Healed My Skin An Antioxidant-Rich Formula This product should probably be #1 on the list, but the overall consensus has the Australian Gold rated slightly better. This lotion is, by all intents and purposes, a true tan extender lotion.

You may also apply it after you shower because wet skin will make the tan extender more effective. The wetness causes your skin to stretch, and this type of stretching can be good for getting more product onto the skin. Q: Can you shave after a fake tan? SimplySunSafe believes that the most important factor to consider when looking for a tan extender is the ingredients list. Always make sure your product comes with a complete ingredients list so you can be fully aware of what you are putting on your skin. We might feel relaxed on vacation, but our skin is not as it's being exposed to sunshine, salt water, chlorine, and dehydrating air-conditioning. Ingredients that speed up cell turnover, like alpha-hydroxy acids and retinoids won’t just make your tan fade faster, but can irritate – and a sore, red face will really take away from your newly acquired glow. Plus, it has a delicious coconut-citrus smell that most buyers love! Those who are sensitive to scents, however, may want to test out just a small amount first, as the smell may be slightly too strong. A: The active ingredients in tan extenders provide the benefits of hydration, sun protection (+ helping protect sensitive skin against UV rays), and delays post-sun sensitivity such as redness/inflamed skin. However, it is not considered a fake tan product because it does not contain any kind of DHA-type ingredient. However, some tan extenders may have small amounts of fake tan as well. Q: When should you apply tan extender?

In addition to containing DHA, ideally, you want your tan extender to contain beneficial ingredients, including skin hydrating properties. Some of the products listed below contain DHA, some do not, although they are all classified as tan extenders. You’ve enjoyed the sun, diligently slathered on SPF, and (hopefully) avoided needing to know how to treat sunburn. How you treat your skin post-sun exposure is also really important if you want to keep that glow going. “The key to holding onto a tan post-holiday is to keep skin moisturized and hydrated,” says Michaella Bolder, St.Tropez Tanning & Skincare Expert. Some tan extenders also come with bronzers to add extra color, but it is worthy to note that the only FDA-approved color additive in tan extenders is DHA (dihydroxyacetone) so you should steer clear of any product that has other ingredients listed as color additives. Scent Dr. King recommends applying after-sun lotions and gels with your fingers, as you would with a traditional body lotion. “But be sure to wash your hands afterward if the lotion contains hydrocortisone, as well as if it contains self-tanner so your fingers won’t stain,” she says.

It is also specially formulated to be free of PABA (Para-aminobenzoic acid), dyes, alcohol, and gluten. These are more commonly called “tan enhancers” or “tan intensifiers” and usually have a moisturizing element that makes your skin look especially hydrated and produces this glowing effect. Skin Texture and Nourishing Sea salt can also be found in this unique recipe which contains potassium and other colour enhancing minerals which work to deepen your tan with regular use. Plus, with added DermaDark® bronzers, which work as a perfect streak free colour boost between sessions, you can be sure your skin is fully nourished and glowing at all times! You don’t need to be a chemist to tell when a product is too harsh. If your skin feels tight when you come out of the shower, or dry after using a certain serum, these are give-away signs. This is bad news for your tan too, as skin needs to be balanced and hydrated to hold onto it. “Avoid formulations that have high amounts of alcohol, which can be drying and may cause your tan to fade faster,” advises Cleeve. Another common culprit is fragrance. You’ll be able to feel (and smell) if these ingredients are present in products in high concentrations. If so, swap for something gentler and more nourishing. 8.
