What should clients do after a tanning session to care for their skin?

After a tanning session, clients should apply moisturizer and hydrate to care for their skin effectively. Tanning, whether from UV exposure or tanning products, can leave the skin feeling dry or tight. A good moisturizer replenishes lost moisture and helps maintain an even tan, as well as enhances the skin’s overall appearance and health. It’s essential to lock in hydration immediately after a tanning session because the skin can lose moisture quickly.

Hydration is equally important, as drinking water post-tanning helps to keep the skin hydrated from the inside out. This combined approach helps combat the drying effects of tanning and supports the skin in maintaining its elasticity and suppleness, ultimately prolonging the results of the tan.

Using a scrub would not be beneficial right after tanning, as it can irritate the freshly treated skin and lead to uneven fading of the tan. Cooling gels may offer temporary relief but do not provide the long-term moisturization necessary for skin care post-tanning. Leaving the skin untouched might result in dryness and can hinder the proper healing and recovery process after the tanning session.
