I'm getting prepped for the annual family vacation to the Redneck Riviera. I've been pulling the prima beta move and laying on the tanning bed to avoid serious burn. I've used sunscreen all of my life with no problems. After my first session in which I put sunscreen on my nose as I always do, I noticed some sneezing but thought nothing of it. Second session, same thing, sneezing more severe. After thinking it out, I realized the only thing different was sunscreen application. I went in the bathroom and washed it off and the sneezing stopped. I know allergens change through life, but I've never heard of this with sunscreen. Any similar experiences?

FWIW, scientific studies have shown that tanning does not decrease risk of sunburn.

Also, use of a tanning bed greatly increases risk of skin cancer.
