How long should members wait to tan after sun exposure?

Members should wait at least 24 hours to tan after sun exposure to allow their skin to recover from the effects of UV rays. When the skin is exposed to the sun, it can become irritated or damaged, and tanning too soon can increase the risk of overexposure, leading to a higher likelihood of burns or skin damage. Allowing a full day helps to minimize these risks by giving the skin time to heal and return to its baseline.

This waiting period is particularly important for ensuring that the tanning process is safe and effective while also taking into consideration the cumulative effect of UV exposure. Protecting the skin's health should always be a priority for anyone engaging in tanning, whether indoors or outdoors.
