Is it bad to tan twice in one day?
Never tan more than once a day. Retain your desired color by tanning 1–3 times a week, depending on the level of the bed.
Can I go tanning every other day?
Daily UV exposure can cause skin damage. However, if you wait too long between indoor tanning sessions, your tan may start to fade. Most indoor tanning professionals recommend 3 indoor tanning sessions a week until a tan is developed, and then 2 each week after that to maintain the tan.
What not to do after you tan?
- Bring and wear loose-fitting, dark clothes and flip-flops immediately after the tanning session.
- Avoid rubbing your skin with your hands until after showering.
- Stay away from activities that will cause you to sweat or get wet.
Should you shower right after tanning in the sun?
Tanning Bed Melanin is the natural brown pigment made by our bodies to give us tanned skin. If you shower immediately after the tanning session, you'll wash off the lotion before it has the chance to manifest any effects. So, you should wait at least 2 to 3 hours before showering to let the product kick in.
