Do Not Shower by: Anonymous
You do not want to shower or perspire AT LEAST 4 hours after you tan. It is important to exfoliate and shower before your tan for maximum results. In doing so, you are tanning your newest layer of skin, which in turn is going to help prolong your tan.
As for lotion. If your lotion smells that bad, it may be expired, as they have a 12month expiry date on them. My recommendation would be to get something in a scent that is not too overpowering and something that has the technology to reduce the 'after-tan small'. All California Tan products have this technology. If your salon does not carry this brand, get a pure lotion - one without bronzer.

Shower after tan! by: Anonymous
I always shower about 3 to 4 hrs after. My girls at the salon told me that. And I would shower before, definitly if you didnt shower and wash off old lotion. The skin needs to absorb the lotion but please shower!

Do you have to shower before tanning? by: Anonymous
You should shower after tanning, but not right away. I always heard you should wait a while before bathing or showering. Although there is nothing wrong with before and after. I like to exfoliate before tanning so I usually shower or take a bath before tanning.
