Why do I smell weird after a tanning bed? The odor you experience after using a tanning bed is likely due to your skin reacting to UV light. UV exposure can kill bacteria and cause dead skin cells to shed, creating a distinct smell. To minimize this, shower immediately after your session and apply a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and fresh.
