How long should i wait till i can shower after tanning?
I never wait after I tan to shower dude, and my tan is always good, it never ruins it or whatever. You should be fine.
Reply:I have never heard that before. I always tan right away. To keep your tan nice, use moisturizer after showering. Nivea makes a really good one called smooth skin or something like that. Its not scented so guys can use it too. Put the lotion on while you are still kind of damp because it will absorb better. Aloe is good also.
Reply:if you are tanning naturally, you can't wash a tan off - it is produced from within your skin


if you are tanning in a tanning bed and using lotion, shower whenever you want - again, your tan is in your skin, not on it and if you're using the tanning lotions, rinse them off because some of them can irritate your skin


if you are getting a spray tan, wait 24 hours for it to absorb completely


whichever you are doing, make sure you keep your skin moisturized after you shower because it will help your tan last longer!
