What should clients avoid immediately after a tanning session?

Clients should avoid showering, sweating, or swimming immediately after a tanning session to ensure optimal results from the tanning process. After a tanning treatment, whether it is from a tanning bed, spray tan, or sun exposure, the skin needs time to fully absorb the tanning formula and develop the desired color. Showering or sweating can wash away the tan or interfere with the skin's absorption process. Swimming, especially in chlorinated water, can also strip away the tan and affect its longevity.

This practice is essential to achieving a natural-looking tan and prolonging its duration, as the initial hours after tanning are critical for the color to set properly. It's generally recommended to wait at least several hours before engaging in any activities that could lead to skin contact with water or excessive moisture.
