OK, another tanning question...?

Let's say if I use a gradual tanning lotion and I go to the beach. Won't it come off in the water? I'm scared that I'll come out with patches or something.





PS. As I have mentioned before, I'm talking about a gradual tanning lotion, not fake tan (instant tanning products)

Gradual tanning lotions shouldn't come off in water if you've allowed enough time for the product to interact with your skin. The product directions should tell you how long you have to wait before you can hit the beach. Just remember, these products don't protect your skin from the sun, so wear a high SPF sunscreen to go with your golden glow!

Honey, all of those lotions are considered 'fake' as you put it. It gives you a tan without the use of the sun. Isn't that considered fake? I'm not lecturing or anything because I do use the gradual lotion too and might I add, I like it and is much cheaper then tanning!





It won't come off in the water unless you apply it minutes before you go in...which is stupid! Apply it the night before and you should have no problems at all :) Happy beach'n:)
Reply:It's not suppose to come off in water, but if it does, I'm sure it would just fade a little and wouldn't be that noticeable. =]
Reply:Tanning is bad. DO NOT TAN. You will get wrinkles and cancer.
Reply:i had a friend who used that stuff, and she went to the pool with me . it started peeling and didnt look that good. but i think it is only because she applyed it right before she came to the pool. i wouldnt worry if you apply it atleast a day or a few hours before. just be smart at the time you put it on and i think you will be totally fine.
Reply:No it will not come off in the water if you put it on at lest 30mins to and hour before you get WET AT ALL.. then you will be fine
Reply:as the first girl said....gradual tan lotion is "instant" or "fake tanner" it won't necessarily COME OFF at the beach, but salt water does act as an exfoliant and will take your color away faster. When applying a gradual tanning lotion, wait a couple hours before showering so that the bronzers in the lotion have time to develop! Best of Luck!
