No, Skinny Tan products do not contain SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and do not provide protection against sunburn.
Here's a breakdown of why this is important:
- Skinny Tan is a tanning product, not a sunscreen: Its primary function is to give your skin a tanned appearance.
- Lack of Sun Protection: Without SPF, your skin is vulnerable to the sun's harmful UV rays.
- Increased Risk: Exposure to unprotected skin while tanning, even without burning, increases the risk of premature skin aging, skin cancer, and other skin damage.
- Always use Sunscreen: When exposed to the sun, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, even if you are already tanned or using a tanning product. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating.
Therefore, while Skinny Tan can give you a sun-kissed glow, it is crucial to remember that it does not protect your skin from sun damage. Always prioritize sun protection by using a separate SPF product.
