Can you get a tanning and sauna the same day?

While it is possible to get a tanning and sauna the same day, it is generally not recommended for your health and safety. Your body is under different stresses in each of these environments, and combined, they can strain your system.

Saunas

Saunas are hot rooms that use heat to promote sweating and relaxation. They can be beneficial for your health, as they can help improve circulation, reduce stress, and relieve muscle pain. However, saunas can also cause dehydration and dizziness.

Tanning

Tanning, whether through sunbathing or tanning beds, exposes your skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While UV rays can help your body produce vitamin D, too much exposure can lead to sunburn, skin damage, and even skin cancer.

Using Saunas and Tanning Beds Together

Going from a sauna to a tanning bed or sunbathing can put your body under additional stress, as it has to adjust to different temperatures and levels of UV radiation. This can increase the risk of dehydration and other health problems.

It is generally recommended to wait at least a day before tanning after using a sauna. This gives your body time to recover and prepare for the next exposure to heat or UV radiation. If you are experiencing any health problems or have concerns about combining sauna and tanning, talk to your doctor or dermatologist.
