When can you wash after a solarium and how to do it correctly?
Any exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the skin is severe stress. Therefore, experts do not recommend taking water treatments immediately after the beach .
It is also important to follow the rules on how to wash after sunbathing without harming the skin. You can go to the bath after sunbathing after half an hour or 40 minutes. Just during this time, it’s good to lay out and put your “camping” things in order.
Peelings and scrubs will not harm or remove your tan after sun exposure . Melanin is produced in the deep layers. However, if you wash after sunbathing incorrectly , the skin can actually become dull, the pores become clogged, local immunity decreases, and the dermis loses its protective layer.
Experts in cosmetic procedures do not recommend going straight into the shower after tanning . The skin needs some time to calm down. In addition, the solarium is not so hot and a large amount of sunscreen cosmetics is not used. People want to wash themselves just out of habit.
But tanning in a solarium happens a little differently. After the procedure, the shade should be fixed in the skin. This is especially true in cases where special creams with auto-bronzants were used. The active ingredients will take some time to start working and set the shade. Therefore, if you wash immediately after tanning in a solarium, they will wash off or become stained. You must wait a certain time.
How long after sunbathing you can wash depends on where you got it and with what means. If a person has been sunbathing under open ultraviolet rays, then you can start water procedures after 30-40 minutes. During this time, the skin will calm down and the tan will lie more evenly.
If the shade was obtained in a solarium with a simple sunscreen, then washing in the shower is allowed after 2-3 hours. The tan will have time to take hold. But if bronzers were used, then it is better to go to the shower no earlier than after 5-6 hours.
Recommendations on how to wash after sunbathing are as follows:
- You can't take a hot shower. The skin is too irritated and sensitive. Hot water will worsen the burn and dry it out. As a result, wrinkles, tightness and discomfort will increase. The shower should be at room temperature.
- You should not use bleaching agents such as milk, lemon or cucumber juice, or St. John's wort decoction.
- No need to scrub with a washcloth. The skin is damaged, perhaps even burned. Injuries to the upper layer can lead to a decrease in local immunity, peeling, and aging.
- When washing, you can use mild detergents and shower oils. They should not contain sulfates, as well as parabens and silicones.
- You should not take a shower with a sudden change of cold and hot water, as this will increase stress on the epidermis.
After the bath, it is recommended to simply pat it dry with a soft towel and let it dry. Then apply moisturizing and soothing products to the skin. During washing, the pores will open, and it will be easier for the dermis to be saturated with oxygen and nutrients. It will retain its firmness and elasticity, and special creams for activating and preserving the tan will help fix the bronze shade and extend its life.
Contraindications after solarium include visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool . Bleach additionally dries and washes out the shade, and high temperatures and heat can give a “leopard” effect.

Please tell me, tomorrow I’m going to the pool for the first time, and at the same time I plan to sunbathe in the solarium. How long should I be irradiated? I tan well, at first I get sunburned, but then the tan goes on wonderfully.
How many solar minutes should I take for the first time? 5 or still less?
The only thing I did wrong today was go sunbathe after swimming. Next time I'll sunbathe in front of the pool. Sunbathed for 10 minutes. No cream. (Actually, I tan all the time without cream). But if it is a very important and very necessary thing, then I will definitely buy it.
When I lay down and started to close the lid, to be honest, I felt a little uneasy. Associations with a coffin and a microwave oven.
