I only want to use a tanning bed for a few times before going on vacation. Is this okay?

Suntanning and Tanning Booths
Expert bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration do recommend that tanning booths should be avoided. This does not mean that everyone who uses a tanning booth will have an adverse health effect. Likewise, people who go out in the sunlight unprotected from the UV will not all suffer harmful effects. Of course, we should be aware that some harmful effects like skin cancer take many years to appear. Expert recommendations are made based on health studies from large groups of people.
