Is it true that you shouldn't shower after you go tanning?

Showering after using a tanning bed or laying in the sun will not have any effect on your tan, because the damage has been done. You shouldn't be tanning, period. Skin cancer aside, you'll age prematurely with wrinkles and "liver spots", which are really "sun damage spots". So if you care about your looks, don't tan.... use a sunless tanner.

Reply:yea the water may burn your skin
Reply:Only if the "tanning" is wipe on.
Reply:no it's not true, i always get a shower when i get home from tanning. you have lotion on you still, and i know they wash the tanning beds after each use, but how good! take you a shower.
Reply:For about an hour at least...think about it. You've just "dyed" the color of your outer most skin cells, do you want to wash all that off?
Reply:I have been tanning for years, and I have heard if you are using a bronzing tanning lotion which is very popular right now you should not shower for a couple of hours to let the lotion soak into your skin. I have heard people say they shower right after tanning and still had a golden tan. I personally wait a couple hours before showering.

  1. Getting a sunless tan at a salon is quite an expensive and time consuming process. One has to choose the right salon then the right applicator and you do have to go by what the guy say at the salon. Then if you want a sunless tan to be done at home, you may end up using a sub standard product which can do more harm than good to your skin. I was in a dilemma like this few months back when I actually started looking sickly and all my age spots were glaring me from my face. Then came my rescuer...you can call it my saviour in bronze bottles!!! You must be wondering what I am getting to. Well I am talking about Peau D’OR sunless tanning products that can give your skin that extra perfect tan without any uneven patches. Peau D’OR range of products is also skin-friendly as they have Aloe Vera and other natural ingredients. These products are economical and you can choose the product that suits your requirement.
