Tan Accelarator advice please? sun-sensitive skin

[CLBA]

Hi everyone -
I have ever such sun-sensitive skin. I do use sunscreen - but just wondered if anyone has found the tan accelarators helpful/ good for sensitive skin/ prickly heat ? and if so - is there a particular brand you would recommend please?
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you !

Zhuzh! Is the best IMO , Has a lovely cooling effect to the skin as its in a spray bottle. Also you dont have to use it for 2 or 3 weeks before you go away unlike other Tan accelerators, Just spay the body and face a few minutes before going out in the sun, remember you still need SPF though

They definitely helps with Prickly heat IMO as they seem to get your skin ready for heat expose so your more prepared , Id also recommend getting some Aloe vera to use every night.

Ideal World often have great POTD's with Zhuzh!

Agree Zhuzh is a good one.It's good because it is spray as well.Goes on easy and as Autumn says cooling on the skin.It definitely helps me.

Sometimes I use Gatineau as well as my hubby likes it better but it is in a big size and you might need to decant some in a smaller bottle as it would be weighty in your case.

I use tan accelerator as my body lotion from April until about September. I have tried Gatineau, Elemis & Ultrasun, but I prefer EcoTan. I've used it since I was a teenager (I'm 28 now) when QVC use to sell it, these days I just buy it from Ebay (500ml pump bottle for £15, two, maybe three of those lasts me the entire season).

I've always suffered once the sun comes out, my skin doesn't react very well to it at all (more so when I go on holiday than here in the UK), so using a tan accelerator is a staple for me for about 5 months of the year (I just end up getting bored and want to use all the other lovely body lotions/creams I have in my collection).

Another vote for Zhuzh, then I use the Superdrug own brand sun creams with a tan activator: http://www.superdrug.com/Solait/Solait-Tan-Stim-Spray-SPF30-200ml/p/833865#.VWgmNc9Viko or http://www.superdrug.com/Solait/Solait-Tan-Stim-Lotion-SPF30-200ml/p/833861#.VWgmn89Viko and keep using Zhuzh Tan Accelerator as an aftersun.

I just keep out of the sun. I wear long sleeves and high neck shirts. I have some skin damage from years ago on my back. I tend to use handcream with an spf in the summer - body shop do one. When gardening I wear gloves so that is some protection. I also get prickly heat.
