What should clients avoid immediately after tanning?

Clients should avoid hot showers, soaking in water, and applying tight clothing immediately after tanning because these activities can negatively impact the tanning process. After tanning, whether through UV exposure or spray tanning, the skin is particularly vulnerable and sensitive. Hot showers can strip away the tanning solution or cause premature fading of the tan by opening pores and potentially washing away the tanning agents. Soaking in water, such as in baths or pools, can also wash away the artificial tan and reduce its longevity.

Additionally, tight clothing can irritate the skin and lead to uneven tanning results, as it may rub against the skin and cause streaks or patches in the tan. This combination of factors makes it crucial for clients to allow their skin to cool down and settle without subjecting it to further irritation or washing away the tan. The other options, while they may have their own considerations, do not have the immediate impact on the tanning results as this choice does.
