Why would it be that my skin is so itchy after tanning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually dryness: Remember that tanning is trauma to the skin and not helpful! it damages the epidermis and causes damage to the collagen in the dermis. It also dries the skin and the peeling is the dead epidermal cells coming off the stratum corneum.
