I think it is true let the tan soak in good before you hit the showers.

Yeah, I don't understand that either, but I have heard it.

WHY??? It penetrates past the first layer of skin... even if not, you can't wash away a tan. There has to be something scientific about this. Someone do some internet research and post up.

Supposedly bathing washes away the skin oils that are needed for tanning.

 

[strangebrew]

Might make the shower more drying to the skin, leading to unwanted peeling?

Ive also heard its best to shave before u go to the tanning bed instead of after, for the same reason as bathing RIGHT after? is that true or a myth?

Shaving b-4 allows more light to reach your skin and cook you.

Bathing afterwards? Light travels pretty fast... I doubt you are going to wash away any light... LOL.

AAP was right this is a myth.

Does Showering Affect A Tan ?

Some clients have been mis-informed about taking a shower after tanning. They were led to believe that, somehow, their tan would get washed down the drain.

A shower, like a tanning session, may tend to dry out the skin. While you can't necessarily wash your tan off, moist skin tans and retains a tan better than dry skin. On the pH scale of 0-14, the skin registers slightly acidic (about 5.6). Most soaps are well above the neutral pH, or about 7 on the scale. Using a typical over-the-counter soap with this higher alkaline pH can strip your skin of its essential acidic oils. Those oils lock in your skin's moisture. Shower gels are usually less harsh than regular bar soap. Always apply a good quality moisturizer after a shower to help preserve your tan.

Showering after a session tends to dry out the skin, but there is evidence that showering before a tanning session may actually enhance tanning results. First, the heat from a shower opens your pores, enabling the skin to breathe and take in oxygen vital to the tanning process. Second, a shower will wash away dirt and dead skin cells that may impede ultraviolet penetration when you tan. Removing those dead cells also allows the active ingredients in lotions to work there way into the live skin cells more easily.

Now show me your bootay Mr.!

if u go tanning and use an indoor tanning lotion that contains a bronzer (best ones do)

the bronzing agnet will get washed off right away if u shower right after...the bronzing has to sink into your skin

Showering after tanning can often lead to erectile mismanagment disorder, which causes straight me to temporarily become attracted to fags.
