In case of a tanning session "burn," what action should be avoided?

Continuing to tan following a tanning session burn should be avoided because it can exacerbate the existing damage to the skin. When skin burns, it becomes sensitive and inflamed, indicating that the skin cells have been injured. Continuing to expose the affected skin to UV radiation can lead to more severe burns, increase the risk of long-term skin damage, and heighten the risk of developing skin conditions such as skin cancer.

In contrast, taking a cool shower can help soothe the burned skin, while using aloe vera provides hydration and can promote healing. Drinking plenty of water is also beneficial, as it helps to moisturize the skin from within, aiding recovery after a burn. Each of these actions supports skin recovery, while continuing to tan counteracts those efforts and harms the skin further.
