Tanning: Ok on the Pill?
| Wed, 06-30-2004 - 11:39am |
Hi Guys,
For some strange reason, I have it in my head that tanning is bad when you're on the Pill. It says nothing about it on my OTC-Lo instruction packet, but I'm still worried cause I love the beach, and I love swimming and since I'm in SoCal, I want to enjoy all the summer activities without worry. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it safe?
Thanks in Advance,
Natalie

Hormonal contraceptives can increase the sensitivity to sunlight in some women so I would be very careful to use plenty of sunblock until you find out how or if they will affect your tanning.
Good luck

Hi! I was fine for YEARS tanning and so on but when i got switched to OTC-Lo i CANT even go outside in the sun for a tiny bit without having huge parts of my skin to peel even where i am tan..It really sucks and it made me very mad..I dunno if this helps but be careful in case this happends to u..really put a damper on my life but im switching back and i found avacado oil helps heal this and keep me from peeling.
Have a good one!
