Sometimes when I get out of the shower my skin will feel dry and itchy. It usually will occur again if I take my shirt off for a while or something, usually the more clothing I have on the least likely this is to happen, however it hapens many times after getting out of the shower, my skin will itch so bad that I can' thardly stand it. I tan 2 times a week so maybe that is the problem?

when you take a shower and use soap, the soap dries your skin out, as well as the whatever you use to apply the soap kinda exfoliates your skin.
use moisturizer or baby oil when you get out the shower. particularly since you tan as well. you gotta keep your skin hydrated.
What might also help, is to make sure to drink lots of water, and to take vitamin E. I find this helps.
You may want to invest in a face cleanser, as they are not as harsh on your skin as regular soaps.
Another problem is that you could be sensitive, or allergic to the type of body soap, or laundry soap that you are using. You may want to consider changing brands.
Do you use anything while you tan? (a lotion of any sort?) You should. Tanning beds, and lotions used in tanning beds can not protect you from skin cancer. If the itching persists, go to a dermatologist.
