I used to work in a tanning salon. Be sure to keep yourself well moisturized. I would also invest in a tanning creme with bronzer to keep a golden color. This will help even out any blotchiness that make come about from peeling.

While I used to work in a tanning salon, I just want to suggest looking into other options for keeping a tan going. Bronzing lotions can help maintain color and with summer around the corner, you can keep up with the base. Tanning booths are SO bad for your skin so if you do choose to keep tanning, please don't overdo it!

I'm not sure that you should go while you're still peeling. I'm sure it would be really painful to get a burn on top of a burn! I can advise you to moisturize like heck through if you want to keep that base. It should also help with the peeling...
