Can I use tanning oil in a tanning bed?

Using tanning oil in a tanning bed is not recommended, as it can increase the risk of skin damage. Tanning beds use UV light to tan the skin, and oils can act as a filter that blocks some of the UV rays, meaning the skin may not be exposed to enough of the UV light. This can lead to an uneven tan and may increase the risk of more severe sunburns or skin damage. Additionally, oils can leave behind residue on the tanning bed’s acrylic surface, which can make it difficult to keep clean and may cause the tanning bed to malfunction.
