What do you recommend for protecting BA crease incision scars from uv/tanning bed exposure?

Asked By:sunshinegirl10 in Midwest, WY

I have a Mexico trip coming up and am going to start tanning soon so I don't burn when I'm down there, I'm just a little over a month out from my BA with crease incisions. I assume your recommendations are not to tan at all :-), but if one were going to tan, what is the best way to protect scars from uv exposure? I've read that electrical tape makes a good barrier for tanning and am wondering if that is an effective way to cover and protect my scars. Thank you!
