When to NOT Tan
If you are taking photosensitizing medication that would make your skin more sensitive to the UV light, you should not tan indoors or outdoors. Most tanning facilities have a list of medications that could greatly increase the risk of overexposure. Ask your doctor or tanning consultant if the medication you are on puts you more at risk for burning. If you are pregnant, it is recommended that you avoid tanning because of the heat, unless your doctor approves it.
