    Default sunlamps

    Hello
    I am using a skin lighter and one of the warnings is to avoid sunlamps. I don't know what a sunlamp is?
    Google image shows table lamps and yellow small lamps we usually put outdoors.

    It's a lamp that tans your skin artificially.

    They're also called "tanning lamps". Here's the Google image page I found for that.
    The larger ones which you lie in/on are called "sunbeds" but the smaller ones are called "sun lamps". The first three pictures here are sunlamps.

    I'm no doctor, but I suggest you avoid the sun, too. If you are lightening your skin, you'll probably have less protection against ultra-violet light.
