When using a sunbed, will washing after take away the vitamin d?

I was told that if I washed with soap after using a sunbed the vitamin d would be washed off. I was told you should not bathe for 3 days after sunbathing. Is this true?

Answer #1

lol.

jaz is correct.

Vitamin D isn’t what causes you to tan though, it is the melanin. The sun causes your body to produce vitamin D which is essential for calcium absorption.

So basically what I want to get to is: Sunbed is the same (but worse) then lying in the sun. The UV rays are much more concentrated and considering no one every uses sunscreen while in a sunbed they end up getting skin damage and skin cancer.

Please rather use self tanning lotions, they are a lot safer. Sunbeds can also cause bad damage to your eyes.

Answer #2

ok if you use tanning oil and you take a bath/shower directly afterwards you won’t keep the dark tan you wanted using the tannin oil it needs time to set it but that night take a bath just don’t take one immediantly after tanning with oil in a tanningbed.

Answer #3

lol no offence but whoever told you that isnt educated enough to be working at a solarium vitamin d is a vitamin, its inside your skin it can not be washed off with water, or anything else the only thing you will wash off if you wash your skin is the colour but seriously be smart, and safe next time get a FAKE tan solariums and sun beds need to be banned research shows that using them increases your chance of getting melanoma (skin cancer) by 75% they also prematurely age your skin and face, making you look older all tanning does is ruin your skin and increase your chance of skin cancer next time you want a tan get a fake one

Answer #4

Vitamin D cannot wash off your body, its in your body.

I’m not sure that you know this, but sunbeds are not good for your body as, if used frequently, can cause skin cancer as the UV Rays are a lot stronger in sunbeds.

If I were you, I’d use fake tan, its a lot safer than a sunbed.

Hope this helps! -Chloe
