Will I still be able to get tan while on Accutane?

cthomps7
I take 50mg of accutane per night and I am going away next week. I usually get dark when I'm in the sun. If I am on accutane, will I still be able to get dark as long as I apply sunscreen frequently? Also, would I be able to stop accutane for the week I am away to reduce the sun sensitivity or would I be able to still remain on it for the week and still get tan? Thanks!
