Ok, so I never had Chicken Pox when I was a kid! But I sure did catch them last month! Boy was it BAD! Anyways, I go tanning on the regular, but haven't been back since the Pox episode! I'm fading!! I want to go back ASAP, but.... I've heard that every single little mark from the pox should be totally gone before tanning again, or it could cause permanent discoloration on those marks. Is this true? I've been over them for a month now, but I still see little teeny pale - almost irridescent-like spots from where they were. I know it will take time for those to be totally gone... but is it safe to go back tanning again??? I don't know how much longer I can go w/out hittin' the tanning bed! :o) But I certainly don't want any permanent marks/scars..? Has anyone got any good info on this? Or been through the same thing??? Not to mention... summer is right around the corner!!!!!! haha.... Thanks everyone!!! :o) I look forward to getting your words of wisdom!

Don't go tanning. Tanning is really, really, really bad for your skin. You are beautiful with the complexion you already have. You don't want to grow older and end up looking like a leather jacket.

it's not safe to tan on a tanning bed. those are the same UV rays as the sun. try a spray on tan instead, it won't leave you permanently discolored, and you can get completely natural looking stuff in salons.

You need to make sure that they are totally gone or you will be spotted.
