Is the rub-on fake tan bad for your skin?

Answer #1

It could be, alot of these products contain Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and it can cause dry skin, dermatitis, inflamation of hair follicles, a rash and skin irritation. HOWEVER it is still TONS better than lying in the skin, because they can’t give you cancer and make you age. Just try different brands if you are having trouble with a specific brand.

not really.. because it’s just cream with tanning agents in. but that rub on wash of one is actually bolloks, makes you look like a mouldy orange :)

Answer #3
