Tanning with a sunburn is not a good idea because your skin needs time to heal itself. If you tan with a sunburn you could cause more damage to your skin and make the sunburn worse. Most likely resulting in skin peeling, increased chance of wrinkling and cancer. The best thing to do is wait for your sunburn to heal and make sure that you use the proper tanning lotions while tanning. Indoor tanning and outdoor tanning require different types of lotions and expose you to different types of UV light.

24 hours should do it, but just in case I would suggest waiting until the stinging stops then put on sunscreen and wait 20 minutes, after that you can tan like that if you want a light tan if you prefer a darker tan you should wash some or even all the sunscreen off. If you have any questions why post a message here on the discussion page.
