🔥 Tingle vs Accelerator - What’s the Difference?

Not all tanning creams are created equal, babe. Whether you're craving a slow-build bronze or a red-hot rush to golden glory, understanding the difference between tingle creams and accelerators is essential. Let's break it down so you can tan smarter, not harder.

Tingle Creams: For the Bold & Brave

Tingle creams bring the heat — literally. They’re made for experienced tanners who want to fast-track their results and go dark fast.

🔥 How They Work: They increase blood flow and oxygenation at the surface of your skin, which stimulates melanin production — your skin’s natural pigment. This gives you a deeper tan in less time.

💥 What It Feels Like: A warm, tingling, sometimes spicy sensation. Totally normal — it means it’s working. But it’s not for beginners.

⏳ How Fast It Works: Usually within the first couple of uses you’ll notice faster colour development. Ideal for pushing past tan plateaus.

🚫 Warning: Avoid if you have sensitive skin. And ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly after applying.

Try This: T2 Inferno High Heat Tingle Cream – our most intense formula yet. Only for the bold.

Tanning Accelerators: The Smooth Operator

Accelerators are your go-to if you want to boost your tan without the burn.

💧 How They Work: Packed with moisturisers, melanin-activating ingredients, and skin-loving nutrients, they help your skin tan quicker and deeper without the heat.

🌿 Perfect For: Beginners, fair skin, sensitive babes, and anyone who wants a natural-looking, even tan.

🌞 Sunbed or Sunshine? Works with both. Apply 10–15 mins before tanning session.

🧴 Hydration Bonus: Accelerators double up as moisturisers — keeping your glow smooth, supple and long-lasting.
