You can wear sunscreen even if you have a spray tan. First, make sure your spray tanner is not at its final stage when it can be wet. Second, sunscreen shouldn’t cause problems with fading, smudging, or patchiness. There are some sunscreens that can cause skin problems. It is best to not use them. You can still be concerned if you wait 12-24 hours after the initial application to apply any sunscreens to freshly tanned skin. Also, it’s a good idea to leave the product on for at least overnight.

As mentioned above, fake tan can smudge, but that’s not the main problem. It’s the fact that fake tan products can make sunscreens ineffective. These are the reasons there are no spray tanning products or self-tanners that contain UV filters.

Dihydroxyacetone, regardless of the tanning product you use, is what gives your skin its color. DHA reacts with the upper skin cells and leaves them with a unique pigment – something we all crave. DHA can also cause chemical reactions that make UVA filters react, which means that chemical products will no longer protect your skin against the sun.

This means that your sunscreen’s UVA filter no longer works as it should. Self-tanning is the best way to prevent this from happening and to protect your skin from unnecessary sun damage. You can then apply sunscreen to exposed areas the next day with confidence knowing that you are staying safe.

If you want to ensure that your sunscreen doesn’t interfere with or possibly ruin your fake tan, wait 12-24 hours following the application.

While it won’t really make any difference whether your sunscreen affects your tan, maintaining moisturized skin will help improve the overall appearance of your fake tan and prevent unnecessary complications.

Although this does not prevent fake tan issues, it’s important to remember that sunscreen is vital for healthy skin.

If you look through product reviews and do some research you will find sunscreens that are not only safe for your skin but also won’t cause any damage to your new color.
