Itchy Skin....Help - tanTALK

chanzy · 07-10-2005, 01:35 PM

I started tanning about 4 days ago, I've gone twice in a row, then started going every other day. I stay in the bed for 8 min. in a low presure tanning bed. Why does my skin itch so dang bad at night? I get a little burned where it itches, but it goes away the next day! WHat can I do to get rid of this?!?! I cant sleep because of it and I want to get a great base tan (i've never tanned before this), but not if I keep itching every night! Please Help!

Talk to somebody at the salon you are Tanning at about helping select a good lotion and after tan moisturizer . More than likely your skin is drying out.

I agree with capetan. It does sound like dry skin. Also, be sure to exfoliate once a week.

Exfoliate and make sure you use a good moisturizer . Not the K-Mart junk.

They are all right, dry skin, get a good moisturizer from you tanning salon.

It may be a reaction to a medicine you are taking. Even advil if use more than one day in a row can cause this. Are you on a medications that could be affected by uv exposure?
