Should I moisturise before tanning?

It’s a good idea to moisturise before tanning, especially if you’re going to be spending time in the sun or on a sunbed. That’s because the sun will dry out your skin, which you don’t want. If you’re using a sunless tanning product, moisturising beforehand will also help to prevent patchiness.  Most sunbed salons will sell tanning creams that you can apply before your appointment to improve your tan.
