Bad tanning bed burn is more like it. First of all now you probably look like a raccoon :-) but it is really nothing to laugh at. Is it just your face that has the burn or did you have it all over your body? Anyway, I would suggest that you put some sort of after sun lotion on your face, or better yet, see your doctor if it is that bad. I was under the impression that you had to put sunblock on when you use a tanning bed, and if this was the first exposure you should have had less time in there. As for two days, well it might get better, but then it may blister.. ( just my opinion ) I would try something with Aloe-Vera

Buy some Aloe Vera gel the walgreens brand works great. Get the alcohol free,fragrance free.It cools skin and moisturizes.I wouldn't say the burn would be gone by the time your dance came around, depending how badly you are burnt.

Aloe vera cream or natural aloe vera sap if you can find any. One more thing DONT go to tanning salons for more than the legal limit of time i've heard story's of girls internal organs being microwaved or cooked by the radiation inside those things be very carefull please. hope you're o.k.
