    Default Tanning and BC

    So I'm pretty sure my bc is making me really sensitive to tanning. Not like I tan really well, but I burn so easily. I'm asian, and although I get pretty light (yellow) in the winter, I always tan easily and rarely burn. But since I've been on my new pill, it seems like I can't stand to be in the tanning bed for longer than five minutes without feeling that sting! I was able to go 15 minutes a few weeks ago and I was red afterwards, but the burn only lasted a day or so. But a few days ago, I looked up at the clock when I couldn't stand the sting anymore, and I had 8 minutes left (out of 15)! I'm sure they had just put in new bulbs or something, but I really want to tan, and this is making it so difficult. Is there anything I can put on or take to prevent me from burning like this? I don't want to stop the bc, I finally found a pill I love that works, but I can't be so pale all summer!
    And I know it's safer to use tan in a can or Mystic Tan or whatever, but I WANT to be able to nap in a warm tanning bed after my workout, it's my little present to myself for being good and going to the gym!

    Yes..many BC pills make you more sensitive to UV light. Maybe go in for a few minutes and build up slowly to what you normally do
