i'd recommend steering clear until the burn has cleared up. like being in the sun, if you're burnt already, you shouldn't really expose skin that has been burnt, even with suncream.

I know it's really hypocritical of me to say this as I'm a smoker and that but you really shouldn't be using sunbeds, the ammount of lasting damage they do to your skin... I mean you just have too look at the shrivelled up prunes of women who used them in the 80's to be put off for life.

Anyway, enough of a lecture I'm sure you have heard before... you most certainly shouldn't expose burnt skin to harsh UVA and UVB rays even with sun-cream of the highest factor on. The damage has already been done and without the top layer of skin to protect it it's a very VERY bad idea.

I'd seriously urge you to give up the sunbeds though unless you want to be looking like a baked potato when you are 40, have you tried fake tans? Or the tanning lotions which gradually build up into a tan?

OK, I couldn't find much on google but I would think it is best to let the burn heal before you go back tanning... sorry!

Well you shouldn't go back on the sunbed until the burn is healed definitely. And my tanning salon says that you shouldn't use suncream on the beds either so...
