courtneystorrie 1 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hey guys, So, I'm about 4 days in and my friends are planning a camping trip for this weekend. Do you guys think I'll be okay going as long as we have tarps set up so I'm in the shade and have a lot of sunscreen on? I really wanna go but I wanna be safe and I know being in the sun is a big no-no for tane users, but I really don't wanna miss out on everything this summer. Let me know what you guy's think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redhead rachel 102 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think you'll be fine! You're only a few days into your course, so I don't think your skin is that sensitive yet. But it's always a good idea to stay in the shade and wear SPF when you're in the sun no matter what! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
courtneystorrie 1 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks Rach! Yeah, I'm definitely taking all the precausions and have filled everyone in on my situation with accutane. I'm naturally very light skinned so I usually lather on the suncreen and stay in the shade anyways because I burn so easily but I definitely just wanted to make sure and keep myself safe. I've had 3rd degree burns from the sun 2 or 3 years ago and never want to experiencce that again lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redhead rachel 102 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Third degree burns? Ouch! I'm very fair and burn easily as well. I managed to spend the day at a theme park a couple weeks ago in the hot sun. I only had sunscreen on my face and arms. I got a very minor burn on my back, but that's it. I think you'll be okay! Have fun!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
