i go tanning a lot over winter, and i use lotion, so you would think this wouldn't happen. but like 2 days after every time i go, my face starts peeling like crazy and going tanning in the first place becomes completely pointless. it's so annoying! if you're going to say i shouldn't go at all, please don't bother, i know it's risks already. but can anyone recommend any lotion or moisturizers i can use on my face that will stop the peeling and also won't clog my pores?

You need to step up the sun protection factor. Peeling skin is a true sign it's being burnt by the sun's more harmful rays. I'm Greek but if I don't use factor 20+ in my country's sun, then I am in trouble.

Be aware that in years ahead you could get skin cancer in the form of melanomas for not protecting your skin sufficiently. Be very careful.

I'm not saying stop all together, but if it's peeling you're doing it too much. There's not really a way to get around it. So I'd suggest slowing down on it a bit and giving your face some time to heal.

Just do your body, and use bronzer on your face.
