Achieving a beautiful tan is only half the journey – maintaining it requires a little more care and attention. By following these expert tips to keep your skin radiant and your tan glowing for longer. Whether you're flaunting your glow after a Caribbean getaway or a session at the salon, these tips will help ensure your tan stays flawless. 

Investing in an Accelerator is Key!

To keep your tan looking fresh and luminous, incorporate Australian Gold Accelerators into your tanning routine. Our products are specifically formulated to enhance and deepen your tan while nourishing your skin with essential nutrients. Packed with natural ingredients, such as exotic oils, these products help you achieve and maintain a darker tan.  

Apply the accelerator 10 minutes before UV exposure for optimal results, and watch your tan develop into a rich, golden glow. A selection of our best-selling accelerators include: 

Accelerator K: This classic tanning accelerator is a must-have for anyone seeking fast, effective results. Enriched with native Australian oils and vitamins A and E, Accelerator K conditions your skin while promoting an even, golden tan.  

Hot! Hybrid: Hot! Hybrid is a luxurious tanning accelerator that delivers intense hydration and tanning power. Featuring skin-nourishing ingredients that work to amplify your colour. When used in red-light, or hybrid sunbeds this lotion encourages collagen and elastin stimulation for a youthful-looking glow. 

Chiseled By G Gentlemen: Designed specifically for men, Chiseled by G Gentlemen is the ultimate accelerator for achieving a rugged, defined tan. Infused with coconut water, this formula hydrates and revitalises skin, while a refreshing citrus and musk fragrance keeps you smelling great.  

Take Cool Showers

Hot showers might feel relaxing, but they’re not ideal for maintaining a tan. Hot water can strip your skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and faster fading of your tan. Switch to cool or lukewarm showers instead and hydrating body washes. Gently pat your skin dry to preserve your tan's vibrancy. 

Use Hemp Nation™ Moisturiser

Moisturising is crucial for tanning maintenance, and Australian Gold’s Hemp Nation™ Moisturisers and Tan Extenders are a game-changer. Infused with pure hemp seed oil, these moisturisers deeply nourish your skin, locking in moisture and keeping it silky smooth.  

Full of vitamins and antioxidants, Hemp Nation™ not only prolongs your tan but also protects your skin from dryness and premature aging. Use these moisturisers daily to give your skin the pamper it deserves! With over 11 fragrance combinations to choose from, these are some of our best-selling: 

Hemp Nation™ Sea Salt & Sandalwood: This lotion features a stunning Summer by the sea blend – combining calming sea salt and sandalwood fragrance that provides deep hydration. The combination of the two, alongside DermaDark® will provide you with the deepest, darkest and streak-free colour! 

Hemp Nation™ Sparkling Citrus and Champagne: Features an effervescent blend of orange, grapefruit and French wine extract that are excellent sources of vitamins, vital nutrients and flavonoids that have high antioxidant properties. Vibrant, healthy and protected skin all in one! 

Hemp Nation™ Agave and Lime: This tan extender combines a perfect blend of agave, lime and sea salt providing skin soothing properties and rejuvenation for glowing, silky-smooth skin! 

Bonus Tip: Exfoliate Wisely

While exfoliation is essential to achieve an even tan initially, avoid overdoing it once your tan is established. Gentle exfoliation once a week can help remove dead skin cells without stripping your colour.
