Can you still tan with sunless tanner on?

So, you've decided to ditch the harmful UV rays and opt for a healthy sunless tanner to get that golden glow. But wait, can you still tan with sunless tanner? Let's dive into this bronzed dilemma and find out!

What's the Deal with Sunless Tanner?

Sunless tanner, also known as self-tanner or fake tan, is a magical potion that gives you a tan without the sun. It contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar that interacts with the amino acids in the top layer of your skin to produce a temporary tan.

But Can You Still Get a Real Tan?

Unfortunately, sunless tanner can't protect you from the sun's rays or magically transform into a sunscreen. Even if you enjoy a faux tan, it's essential to apply SPF to shield your skin from sun damage.

So, What's the Verdict?

Yes, you can still tan with a clean sunless tanner, but it won't protect you from the sun. So, if you're planning to soak up some rays, remember to apply sunscreen on top of your sunless tan to avoid turning into a lobster.

Remember, a sun-kissed glow is great, but skin health is even greater. So, embrace your sunless tan, protect your skin, and bask in the glow of a healthy, radiant complexion!
