Spray Tans and Sunscreen: Dermatologist's Advice

Are Spray Tans Safe? A Dermatologist Weighs In. Spray tans have become a popular way to achieve a sun-kissed glow, but questions remain about their safety and whether sunscreen is necessary. Dr. Alexis Parcels, a plastic surgeon, recently addressed this concern in a short video. "Spray tans are generally considered safe," she explains, "but the tanning solution itself doesn't contain sunscreen." This highlights the importance of applying sunscreen before sun exposure, even after a spray tan, to prevent sunburn. Dr. Parcels' expertise adds credibility to her advice, providing valuable information for those seeking a safe and healthy tan.
