is there a way to tan safely?
-fake tan, DIY ones you can buy from pharmacy or target or go to the spray tan and pay for it. apparently St Tropez fake tan (diy) is good but I'm never going to try it cuz I'm not going for a tan lol
also, does sunscreen prevent tanning because it blocks UV?
it's mainly to stop you from being burnt, but it also depends on your skin and how fair and sensitive it is. I tan easily and can burn after like sitting a day under the sun, but with sunscreen I never get burnt or tan at all, I still look the same as if I never went out of the house. I'm kind of light skinned (asian). I had an ex, when he came to australia, he's nordic so has really pale skintone and is sensitive to sun. even though he put sunscreen on he got like a major arm tan but he didn't get sunburnt when he was in queensland, however back in his country the sun is really weak and so it's impossible for him to get burnt there though have a really really light tan at most
