Does Fake Tan Stop You From Tanning Naturally?

Does fake tan stop you from getting a natural tan in the sun or on the sunbeds? x

[sara3]

no, it doesn't offer any protection.

No i know it doesn't, it's just that i want to be able to sunbathe at the beach or something but not look really white so i have to wear fake tan. I have heard that you don't tan at all with fake tan on? x

[NoMercy]

No, it won't stop you getting a tan. But goes easy on both, hun. ;-)

you do but you probably just wouldnt notice if you already have fake tan on

Concur with Sara - gives you colour but no protection.. and can make you look like an ommpa loompa (hangs head in shame) if you go OTT...
