Is it ok to shave after you tan?

You can exfoliate after tanning however it is recommended that you exfoliate before tanning. First, it removes dead skin cells which not only reflect light but also can not tan. Second it increases your circulation and tanning requires UVA + UVB (both found in the lamps) and oxygen. Increasing oxygen levels increases your tanning ability. Also, if you are using a lotion with DHA bronzer or a color guide then exfoliating right after tanning can halt the effects. Waiting about 4 hours after application allows you get the full results out of your lotion. So it is not recommended that you exfoliate right after tanning but it won't hurt you.


How can you get rid of your selfless tanning?

Selfless tanning???? Do you mean sunless tanning? Sunless tanning is simply a dye or iodine that stains the skin. All you need to do is to exfoliate(remove dead skin cells) to get rid of it. However, it may take several days of scrubbing your skin to remove it completely.

Exfoliate before. Your skin will be smoother before you shave and if you exfoliate afterwards, it can cause irritation and a burning sensation.


When the time comes to use a facial exfoliator 2-3x a week are you supposed to use your daily cleanser along with it or do you use the exfoliator alone since it acts as a cleanser anyway?

Always use your daily cleanser even on days you exfoliate. You want to get rid of oils and dirt before you exfoliate. It will work better. Hope I could help ;)


Do you put on lotion after tanning?

-wash your self (have a bath or shower) using soap rather than shower gel -shave your legs -exfoliate Also, exfoliate a few days into your tan to make sure that it fades evenly, otherwise it might fade on some skin cells and go blotchy on the dead skin cells :) If you exfoliate a day before your spray tanning session with Baiden Mitten, not only will your tan go on flawlessly, last longer, but it will also fade evenly, not in patches, so it will feel more like a sun tan rather than a spray tan.

How long before an indoor tanning session should I apply lotion?

This is a very popular question and I'll explain why it's better to apply indoor tanning lotions before tanning. Most indoor tanning lotions have some type of moisturizer in them. Moisturizers help protect your skin because they keep moisture inside your skin that would generally be lost due to the excessive heat inside the tanning bed. Applying lotions before entering the tanning bed at least 15 minutes before tanning allows those moisturizers and vitamins like vitamin E enough time to soak into your skin. If you apply tanning lotion right before entering the tanning bed your skin may not have enough time to soak up all of the moisturizers and UV protection before tanning which can have adverse effects on your skin.
