ok i know straight away your all screaming how dangerous they are, and yes thats very true!!
I'm not a Stand & tan addict and in all hoensty have only ever used them prior to my sisters wedding for a glow, and then stopped using them...
...but i've got a couple of xmas parties coming up and want a nice glow (not a crispy leather skin tan) for the past couple of weeks i've been going on fror 6 mins a week, i've come down with a blooming water infection ma back is a bit sore, not sure if thats my kidneys or just a bad back but i have been perscribed antibiotics...
...is it ok to have my 6 min stand and tan this week?
I know everyone will be suggesting tanning lotions but i truelly do hate them! and for how little i use the stand and tan's i'd rather just get a quick stand n tan colour.

sorry if that wasnt much help
You could try nhs direct for help.
There's plenty of other reasons not to use a sunbed though.
What's wrong with a bit of Piz Buin?
O how long ive wanted for a tan... :nervous: :grump:
This article about sunbeds may give you some of the facts.
Was just saying that ABs can affect the skin's reaction to UV rays. She doesn't actually say which AB she's on.
Stand and Tan must be completly different from a tanning bed I'm guessing? As I've only heard of pasties like me going for six minutes. 15 minutes I think is the average from when I went tanning.
And as for Ditsy, according to my handy dandy drug handbook, it says you should avoid long exopsure to UV tanning beds and sunlight while on Cefoxitin (which I am assuming is what it is). It, however, does not say what a "long" amount is.
