[Avodah] Tanning/Sun-bathing on Shabbos

[Professor L. Levine]

Halacha L'kovod Shabbos - "Tanning/Sun-bathing on Shabbos"

According to some Poskim it is prohibited to intentionally tan in the sun on Shabbos. Nevertheless it is permitted to walk or sit outdoors on a sunny day even if there is the probability of becoming tanned (even if one would be pleased that this happened - so long as one is not intentionally tanning) because the tanning is not intentional. One may also apply a thin and pourable suntan lotion for protection against sunburn when walking or sitting outdoors. However, one may not use a cream.
