What should clients avoid immediately after a tanning session?

Clients should avoid showering, swimming, sweating, and exfoliating for a specified period immediately after a tanning session due to the potential effects on the tanning result. After tanning, the skin requires time to allow the tanning ingredients to fully develop and adhere to the skin.

Showering or swimming can wash away the bronzer or tanning lotion applied, leading to a lighter or uneven tan. Sweating can also have a similar effect, as perspiration can dilute the tanning product before it has fully set in. Exfoliating is particularly detrimental because it can remove the top layer of skin cells where the tan is developing, potentially resulting in a patchy or short-lived tan.

Avoiding these activities for a designated recovery period ensures that clients achieve the best possible results from their tanning session, allowing the products to work effectively and providing a more even and lasting tan.
