Rep Power: 0 | Screw Retin-A. How long until... I'm 16, and currently on Retin-A for acne scars mostly. Ive been on it for 3 and a half weeks, and Im not going to wait for some scars and blackheads to clear so I'm going to go back to Hollywood Tans and start tanning on the HT60 booth (highest). My question is: How long should I wait to go back WITHOUT being burned? This morning is my last time im using Retin A. I cant go tomm as I definately will burn, but how about Tues or Wednesday? or is it too early? Thanks. |

Ive tested this before as I tried using Retin-A and going tanning before and turned red. Im not in a rush, but Im impatient sometimes. |
