I'm just trying to find out if chlorine makes self-tan come off.
Does anyone know if it does?

Wouldn't recomment chlorine - drastic when neat! Here's advice from Barbara Daly, make-up artist to the late Princess Diana: 'There are products on the market that claim to remove fake tan disasters but it's a chemical reaction that turns you brown and, once that's started, there's not much that can be done,' says Barbara. 'Get yourself into the shower with a loofah and exfoliate really well will a creamy body wash to help slough away dead skin cells. If you're out and about a light-reflecting product will even out skintone and disguise any major streaks.' For the face, use a tinted moisturiser to even out colour, but avoid further cheek colour or bronzer - instead go for nude eye and lip colour so that it looks as fresh as possible. Emphasise eyes so the attention is drawn there. Or you could just don huge shades and wait for the paparazzi to mistake you for a celeb?.' NOTE: Have just read your add info! I thought you were trying to remove it, rather than preserve it! The chlorinated water could fade it if you spent more than a few minutes in the water. If this is your job, however, I guess you haven't much option! Just apply the tanning lotion as near to the timing of the event as possible, it isn't going to disappear that quickly!

Chlorine acts like a bleach on the skin, clothing etc so I expect it would contribute to removing self-tan from the skin. You could try moisturinsing prior to swimming to see if that helps, with a moisturiser that forms a bit of an oily film on the skin - not one that just soaks through.

Soak in a bath tub for a good while, when fingers begin to
wrinkle, take a shower soaping yourself at least twice. This
should remove at least 90%, if not all, of the tanning cream.

I only know about those airbrush spray tans, n it makes it all matchy so chlorine isnt a good idea. Also dennim jeans caused mine to go patchy the second time i got it. Good luck xoxo

I would say it would come off quicker in a swimming pool than in the bath or shower. But, its really when you towel yourself dry that most of it comes off.
