Tanning with Facial Hair?

If I start tanning, and I have a little bit of trimmed scruff on my face, those areas won't tan the same, right? So if I ever have to shave, it'll look funny?



I prefer not to be clean shaven, but do you think it would be a bad decision to keep the facial hair, or if I want to try tanning should I just deal with it and start shaving instead of trimming when i have to?



Tanning with Facial Hair?

If you can see skin underneath the "scruff" then you can tan it. Hair, whether it be facial or body, acts as a natural defence to UV rays, but as long as it's not too thick (you can see some skin through it), you can tan it. You might have a slightly lighter tan under ur scruff, but it would only be noticed if you shave it all off, and there are plenty of lotions for a quick fix for that. Maybe once a week or so, trim it down to a 5 oclock shadow and go for a tan. Having the facial hair should stop that part of your face from exfoliating as fast as the rest, just be careful tanning a freshly shaven face, you can burn pretty bad!



Tanning with Facial Hair?

If by "scruff" you mean 1- to 3-millimeters, it really won't affect tanning all that much. Keep it trimmed short. Even if that area doesn't tan as much as adjacent areas it won't really be evident because the color of the facial hair will effectively "darken" the area.
