First I have heard of this problem myself. If it is peeling and not just flaky from being dry, then I would assume it was a burn. Not good that you burned, but don't panic. Maybe reduce your session times, and use some Aloe Vera lotion of some sort beack there to help fix things.

The times will depend on the equipment you are using, and we don't know what they are at this point. Your salon may have some sunburn relief products you can purchase. What have they said about this?

Next time you're there, look at the ends of the bulbs and if you can, write down the name/make. If they're Hi-Tans by Cosmedico, you're going to get a bit red and peeling a bit a few days later is normal in your case. I've got a dark base and full time under Hi-Tans makes me peel.

Otherwise, see if your salon has an after- moisturizer or use Aloe Vera as suggested. Calm down and you'll be fine. Out of curiosity, what is your eye color, original hair color, and do you burn easily? You already mentioned it being difficult for you to tan (at least your legs) so it's sounding like you're a skin type II or close.
