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.

Does the medications have it on the warning labels? Why are you in such a hurry to start in the max bed? Why not just be patient and build up slowly starting at about 4 or 5 minutes in an entry level bed to see how you react first?

Retin-A does have a warning level on it. It makes your skin really sensitive, so you cant go tanning in any way. 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.

Lowest bed with minimal minutes. Start out slow and kepe an eye on your skin. Burning you will wish to avoid, dont rush things. Ya, it can be hard to keep back.

I cant use a low bed with minimal minutes as I have a 3 month membership for the highest booth (HT60). :x

Why would I want a downgrade? ;p

All Im asking is how long do I need to wait to tan again as Retin-A has been in my skin for about a month, and want to go back tanning without burning.
