Is Tanning Possible With Sunscreen On?

[banksiasong]

From Australia, your advocacy for sunscreens is really appreciated.
To grow up with friends dying from melanoma in their 20s is a grief that never leaves.

I remember applying Banana Boat SPF 4 as a tween/teen so I could lay out all day and "tan without burning" 😢 I wish I could go back in time and tell myself it was OK to be pale.

Basically she’s saying that there’s no such thing as safe tanning. I really don’t like hearing this because I feel like I look good when I get a fresh new tan. Ugh but thanks doc you keep us inline.

Every Australian knows this. It’s why we reapply hourly and liberally if out in the sun for the day. Or else we burn/tan anyway. 😅

Also“rashies”. I feel only certain Americans know the ease and benefits of sunning with these. You get all the heat/enjoyment of sun on your body with such low risk of burn/tan.

I hate when some people make a fake accusation that " wearing sunscreen making you deficiency of vitamin D and don't trust any dr that suggest you to wearing sunscreen " and some others BS, thank you dr. dray for the information .

I had no idea, I thought sunscreen would stop a tan. Now I understand why I get tanned while wearing sunscreen. Another reason for me to wear a hat, long sleeves and an umbrella😂

[sarahh]

I don’t know what you are doing but you look fabulous

I put on sun screen religiously even in winter 2-3 times a day I am very pale and if I were to forget that day I get some sort of redness on my face immediately lol

[moniquelindholm]

Yes. I was in that camp of if I don’t burn, it’s all good. I’m a pretty light complexion. But I’m Olive toned and I don’t burn with sunscreen. I do tan though. Not anymore! I’m definitely avoiding unnecessary sun exposure

I was wondering about this, thanks so much 👍I’m in Florida & the sunshine is out all year 👍👍⭐️

[catboxcleaner]

Yes! My skin would tan right through sunscreen, so I began to invest in sunblock clothing to augment sunscreen use.

[selina]

I have a hard time getting enough vitamin D so my gp said to go in the sun without sunscreen 😢. I'll do this but only legs and arms and only 10mins per day.. it's a very fine balance between getting the necessary and essential vit D and avoiding any sun damage argghh 😣

In Ireland sunbeds are a big thing and I'm shocked still so many young don't know about spf, that and uv index and more should be thought in school as skin cancer is most common cancer here

[DWPersianExcursion]

Pamela would also do this, and put it her hair

[TaxingIsThieving]

I don't believe it. I look and feel better when I have a tan. I look healthy and glowing.

[lemonz]

Couldn’t it also depend on the filters and concentration of particular filters as different filters protect against specific wavelengths? It would be near impossible for a consumer to deduce what particular concentration of a certain filter in a particular environment would lead to more or less tanning as there are multiple filters that overlap however.

Hii😢 iam 52 years old iam not feeling well my husband also bad position please any one help me🙏

[itchysheets]

I wish I could find a sunscreen that would keep my skin from freckling and becoming darker

[wendy]

Thank you for explaining these facts to us I really didn't understand I'm going to be honest with you appreciate it much

[zerotoleranceforsataniceli]

Im not convinced about making vit D with sunscreen on
From petsonal exoeroence my D qas well beliw normal yet my dietary intake was good

So I stopped sunscreen & take supplements and my D is within normal range

Im careful to avoid midway sun & use physical aids to protect from sun, however, enjoy sunligt at liw intensity times
