Help,can you get a tan with sunscreen on?

Question

its nice outside and i want to get a tan but i was wondering can you still get a tan with sunscreen on????? thank you

Answer 1

yeah but use a lower spf

Answer 2

Yes.  I wear sunscreen all the time if I'm laying out or at the beach.  I still get color, but am still protected from the harmful UVA/UVB rays.  Plus, I like to think that it is also protecting my skin from aging.

Answer 3

I wear sunscreen in my pool and i like it because it seems as though the little bit of sun that i get looks nicer ....more natural and less red

Answer 4

Yes, but not as much without it. Test it out yourself. Rub one arm with sunscreen and leave the other arm without it. Lay out for a couple of ours and check results the next day in the bathroom mirror (better lighting).

Answer 5

Use tanning lotion/tanning oil with SPF in it.
