Really itchy skin after tanning. PLEASE HELP!?

I went tanning yesterday for 10 minutes and when I got home I looked a little red but it went away. I could hardly sleep at night bc my legs were EXTREMELY itchy so I put all kinds of lotions on them and nothing helped so they kept me up all night, so at around 8am I hopped in the shower and used some Hempz body wash thinking it would help, it didn't. I'm about to go crazy it's so irratating and I have to go out today. Please someone help me out on how to relieve the itch.

Really itchy skin after tanning. PLEASE HELP!?
try a lotion with Vitamin E and aloe in it.....sounds like you over tanned....Bananaboat lotion has both......hope this helps.......Ive done that before ....keep applying some sort of lotion.....and dont go tan for awhile......maybe 10 mins is to long for your skin......depending on the type of machine y ou used....
Reply:Did you use a new tanning lotion when you were tanning? I used some by Hempz and that same thing happined to me for afull day or so.
Reply:I have never used any of Hempz products, but if it isn't a slight allergic reaction to the products, it could be your skin is parched and dried out so badly and the tanner intensity just irritated it moreso. There is a body butter that has shea butter in it...its is produced by "Tree Hut" brand...it is the Brazilian Nut one...It is awesome on dry skin...it can be picked up at Walmarts or Meijiers or any major sections of


stores comparable to that. It really helps drench the skin with natural oils it is craveing. Hope it helps. I'd avoid Hempz though if causes this problem...yucky. Take care.

Reply:I'm so sorry to hear that, and I have the same exact problem!! Right this second as we speak, and it's not my legs it's my arms. I'm losing my mind!! I agree it's very irritating. I only tanned twice and I skipped a day and it was only for 5 minutes. Also, my skin is never irritated by the sun. But the tanning I think can just really irritate. I'm going to stop tanning, I don't think I'll ever go again!! haha. Just wait it out, use lots of lotion, and stop tanning and I hope that will help for the both of us!!!!
