Is it true baby oil and some moisturizing creams take out your tan?

No.


Your tan might become lighter if you have not exfoliated for a long time, and then use a loofa or something to take off that darker layer of skin. But yech, that is no way to hang on to a tan.|||That is only true if you have a spray-on or rub-on tan that is artificial and wasn%26#039;t given to you because of lights. But if you got a tan in a tanning bed, this will not affect your tan at all. That tan gets into your skin and affects your melanin and there is no chemical that can change your melanin like that, unless you are rubbing skin bleach all over you, which would make no sense.





However, if your skin is really dry and irritated from tanning or you%26#039;re not taking good care of your skin, some of these creams can take the dead skin off of you and it can make you look like some of your tan is coming off. Or sometimes, if your skin is dry and irritated, it will look darker than it really is just because of the irritation and dirt. Thus, if you use creams, you might actually be cleansing the skin and that could make it look lighter as well. But, it%26#039;s not actually lighter.





If you take care of your skin from the beginning, it shouldn%26#039;t be a problem. I hear baby oil is actually great for your skin. Just don%26#039;t go crazy with it.
