I've heard that if you put sunscreen on your hand (etc.) and then light it on fire, you won't get burned?

Question

Is this true? & what kind of sunscreen is the best to use?

Answer 1

I wouldnt try this.

It may be true, I don't know, but it may not be. Anyone who tries this is nuts.

Answer 2

I don't know. But I wouldn't try it. Even if someone tells you which one would work. Sounds like 3rd degree burns and a hospital visit to me.

Answer 3

That is absolutely ridiculous.

Answer 4

I'm not sure where you heard that, but it is not true. Burning your skin on purpose is not a smart idea. It would still burn your skin. The sunscreen just helps from the suns rays that cause sunburn. Please don't try this!

Answer 5

Sunscreen only helps to block UVA and UVB rays from the sun to help prevent those kinds of burns.  Don't listen to that person.

Answer 6

i wouldn't try it, i have never heard this, but i know that there is a jelly  (its used for stunts like setting people alight in circuses and stuff) thing that you can put on your clothes and light and it doesn't burn you, but i don't know if it works

but just to be on the safe side, i wouldn't try it
