I don't want to be preachy GLG, but my advice would be to take this as a valuable lesson. We all know that suntanning is bad for you......and it has been unequivocally proven that tanning beds are much much worse.
I am very dark-skinned for a white gal. I have nearly black hair and eyes and I tan sooooo easily. But I was a tanorexic in my youth and on top of never using sunscreen when I was a kid (and being almost universally brown) I started going to tanning beds in college. Now I am dealing with tiny freckles under my eyes that never used to be there, a definite change in skin texture, tiny laugh lines around my mouth and a slight crepiness under my eyes.....the culprit? Sun and/or UV damage. I have had to have 2 moles removed already and I know they won't be the last. I have the toughest, oiliest, most non-aging type of skin you can have, and I blew it. PLEASE don't fry yourself!!!!! I used to look at tanned people and see healthy, sexy. Now I look at them and I see cancer, wrinkles......it really isn't worth it. I am terrified that I am going to get skin cancer one of these days.
