What is the recommended waiting period for showering after tanning?

The recommended waiting period for showering after tanning is 4 to 6 hours. This timeframe allows the tanning solution to fully develop on the skin, ensuring that the desired color will set properly and enhance the tan's longevity. Showering too soon can disrupt the development process, leading to uneven color or diminished results.

During the waiting period, it's essential to avoid activities that may cause sweating or washing the skin, as this can also impact the tanning solution's effectiveness. By adhering to the 4 to 6 hour guideline, clients can achieve a more consistent and lasting tan, maximizing their tanning experience.
