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!
